Art McNeil will deliver: 

He has the unique ability to enhance the theme of each client. Art always interviews senior management before an event and has a track record of convincing even recalcitrant audiences that working harder at the same stuff, in the same old way, is no longer sufficient.

Art includes poignant examples from an eclectic life and his extensive career as an international consultant.  By stressing the need for passion, alignment, courage, and end-game thinking, he can connect with any audience.  He quickly wins respect and becomes everybody’s personal coach.

The focus of Art’s talks: 

 The ground is moving under our feet and there’s no going back.  All of us were either raised in the industrial age or influenced by people who were.  That makes organizations vulnerable.  Remnants of that bygone era still exist —causing profit and growth inhibiting attitudes and behavioral patterns.  A "corporate exorcism" may be required to eliminate industrial-age ghosts that are haunting your halls.  Think of Art as your corporate exorcist.

Art’s keynotes differentiate doing from knowing:

“Those who choose to lead must make a 180 degree shift from a mindset of “knowing” to an attitude of not knowing —replacing their faith in knowledge and experience with processes for finding out and taking action faster than the competition.”
