Either you’re the disruptor or the disruptee. You’re either doing the disrupting or you’re being disrupted. In this moonshot presentation, Mike will coach you on how to adapt, navigate and pivot in a way that inspires, delights and thrills others. He will reveal the seven secrets to thriving on massive change so the most desirable people want to work only with you: Mike illustrates each secret through people and companies that have changed the rules of the game, created new markets and radically redefined the future.
