Alan Patching - Keynote Presentation Topics (Prosaic Description)
The Futureproof Corporation
Based upon his book of the same name (co-authored with Dr Denis Waitley of the USA), This widely acclaimed presentation deals with the principles that organisations must adopt to be always ready to deal with the continuing change and increasing competition of the 21st Century. Issues addressed include innovation, culture and attitude, values and vision, the role of leaders, and dealing with customers and co-workers. These topics may be perennial, but this presentation deals with them with a fresh and vital approach, rich with supporting anecdotes, humour and valuable take-home-and-use-tomorrow content. One of Alan Patching's most in-demand presentations, both throughout Australia and internationally.
Lessons from Life and the Olympic Stadium experience
In September 2000, the world witnessed what was described by IOC President Samaranch as the 'best Olympics ever'. This result followed several years of intense effort by thousands of people, and a lot of that effort went into the development of the main Olympic venue, the Olympic Stadium. In this presentation, Alan Patching does not so much address the manner in which he managed the development of the largest ever Olympic stadium for the owners as the lessons he personally learned from that experience, lessons he knows will stand by him in business and personal life well into the future. A funny, poignant, practical and, above all, contemporary, relevant and valuable look at some of the lessons learned from the Olympic experience and how they can help others achieve their personal and business dreams and objectives. This presentation has been chosen by some of the leading organisations throughout Australia and in the Middle East.
21st Century Leadership and Success Essentials
Based on an audio album co-authored with Dr Denis Waitley of the USA, this passionate and powerful presentation is a wake-up call designed to inspire people to choose to act as entrepreneurs or franchisees within their own organisation. The presentation looks at the warp-speed change of the global business environment and challenges audiences to accept that personal leadership is the only antidote. Alan Patching draws from his own substantial leadership experience to affirm his philosophy that success in the 21st century will demand adaptable, inspirational and visionary leaders. People who differ from the old model in that they understand the importance of being a role model, who divest control in preference for empowerment, who subordinate ego in favour of helping others develop and grow, and whose core value is integrity. This presentation will inspire delegates to work together to out-perform all competition.
Powerful Commercial Negotiation
The ultimate negotiation keynote from a proven master. In this presentation Alan Patching draws upon his personal experience in negotiating billions of dollars of deals in fields as diverse as property, construction, fashion, aviation and hi-tech purchasing and acquisition. Heavily focused on the human behavioural aspects of negotiation rather than just the much repeated strategies and tactics, this presentation will have your delegates realising the crucial importance of recognising negotiation as not just a business tool, but also an essential skill for 21st century life success. Your delegates will love the anecdotes, the funny side of negotiation and the audience interaction, and be amazed at and inspired by examples of the lateral thinking behind major successful negotiations.
Note: All of Alan Patching's presentations are tailored to meet the particular needs and conference objectives of specific clients, and are adjusted to be optimally appropriate to the anticipated audience constituents.
