Ed follows Einstein’s “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them”. It is time for change and Ed is a catalyst. He is the Sage mentor for entrepreneurial growth, a Farsighted speaker developing disruptive mindsets, a strategist, and a facilitator of strategic planning innovation and an entrepreneur.

Ed is a wonderful storyteller, weaving experiences from his life and those of others to show stark lessons to audiences. He speaks with authority on business and marketing strategy for the new uncertain world. His addressed to the World Marketing Congress titles The future is not where you think it will be was a highlight of the congress. His keynote ‘Blind Spots’ uses his own partial sight to illustrate the many lost opportunities that are unseen right in front of us and how to overcome this business ‘blindness’.

Blind Spot

How I lost sight and gained vision

People who sell need all the assistance they can get to achieve greatness. Blind spots was developed because I saw the parallel between my sudden descent into partial blindness and the many conditions in which even the most talented salespeople miss opportunities, sometimes huge ones because they simply do not see them.

The future is not where you think it will be.

Operating in a changing world full of surprises

We have indicators of what the future holds, but as recent events have shown so starkly the unexpected happens and its effects are huge. Being prepared for change takes a different mindset to operating in more stable times, It means developing the structures to see and seize opportunity, to avoid panic in chaos and to counter threats early. Ed uses examples to show how we can do this and how to see change as a time of opportunity.

Audiences are inspired and empowered to address problems in new and creative ways and to see and seize opportunities and avoid pitfalls. They should have a high sense of urgency and be motivated to implement new ideas immediately
