Topics for Jason Clarke

Australians have been through tough times before but what’s happening now is on a whole other level, the combination of Recession, Pandemic and Panic presents us the kind of challenges we haven’t faced in over 100 years.

Businesses need to dramatically rethink themselves if they’re to adapt to a very different world than the one they’ve known so far. Unless of course, they’re sellers of toilet paper and cleaning products.

In response to this, Jason has some specific and helpful keynotes to assist.

Mind your head
Every day brings more and more things to think about… and less and less time to think in.

Studies show that our heads are so busy dealing with change that it’s seriously affecting our capacity to process the world around us, let alone decide what to do about it.

We could do with a little extra mental bandwidth, a little more room in the mind to do the kind of bigger, deeper thinking these crazy times demands of us all.

Mind Your Head offers simple but powerful techniques to declutter your head and upgrade your mind to think clearer and faster, sharper and smarter. And who doesn’t need that?

Join us… it’s a no-brainer.
Reinventing your business from the ground up
If you haven’t realised it by now, your business has some serious rethinking to do – the assumptions and habits of the last few decades will simply not get us through the next few years - but how are you supposed to do that exactly?

You have your own specific structures and systems that probably weren’t designed for world-changing disruption and innovation. And chances are, the culture you’ve had to date hasn’t exactly encouraged an agile and inventive mindset.

Luckily, you’ve probably already got more than enough brains, resources and challenges to build a truly vibrant culture of growth and innovation; maybe what you need next is a handful of practical but powerful thinking skills and tools to get that party started.

So what would reinvention look like when your business does it?
World’s next practice
Anyone can lead in a period of stability and repetition; ‘Business as Usual’ neither needs nor demands much imagination. But we haven’t enjoyed that kind of routine since last century and the next few decades promise unprecedented levels of change and invention: we’re already seeing the failure of yesterday’s leaders when faced with tomorrow’s challenges.

Tomorrow’s leader will need a mind that can rapidly embrace, connect and develop new and strange ideas, a mind that can both learn and unlearn, not only as fast as the world demands but before the rest of us catch on. Tomorrow’s leader needs to be astute observer and theorist, brilliant collaborator and a fierce competitor, inspiring visionary and creative problem solver.

So how do you do that?
How to make really big decisions you won’t regret
Chaotic times force us all to make big decisions and make them quickly and communities, businesses and governments all around us are scrambling to make the right call about situations they barely understand.

Stay or Go? Do or Don’t? Deal or No Deal?

But the only real measure of a decision being ‘good or ‘bad’ is how happily you could live with its consequences, which means that thinking through all those possible outcomes in advance is better than discovering them once the decision’s been made.

Big Decisions explores the personal, national and global dimensions of choice and offers simple but powerful tools and techniques to resolve some of the most vexing dilemmas of our time on the back of an envelope.

Yes, really.
The art of seeing forward – How to see what’s next
The future belongs to whoever sees it first, but how can anybody do that?

There are patterns in the turbulence around us, recurring shapes and rhythms that we can understand if we take a moment to observe; you already know a great deal about what the next version of your smart phone will look like. What else do you already know about what’s Next?

See how the future may not be as unknowable as you’ve been lead to believe, especially since What is About to Happen is the first child of What is Currently Happening and the grand child of What’s Already Been.
The joy of problem solving
Einstein said you couldn’t solve a problem with the same thinking that caused the problem, and he should know. This workshop will introduce you to an essential tool kit of simple yet powerful ‘back of the envelope’ tools for understanding and resolving those annoying little foul-ups that threaten to turn everything pear shaped.

Uncover how you got into your current situation and just how many ways out there are. Understand your problems and develop effective strategies to solve them. Identify what’s stopping you from doing great things… and get past it.

Learn how to see a problem clearly, how to identify vital parts of its anatomy and most importantly, find its structural weak points. Discover the 6 basic solution strategies and see how to bring fresh eyes to an old problem… and actually have fun doing it.
The art of change
How to anticipate, embrace and even drive change – ever notice how some of us are just better at change than others? What’s the trick… and can anyone learn it?
Rethinking leadership
Our traditional models of leadership are woefully inadequate to deal with the challenges of the current century. So what does 21st Century Leadership look like?
Future ready
The future belongs to whoever sees it first; so switch your mind onto high beam and start looking!
Automate this!
Are you keeping an algorithm of a job… and if so, for how much longer? What can you do that a machine can’t; and could that be your next career?

He sure did nail the brief, absolutely awesome feedback on the day from our guests. Our host Glen actually told me to stop doing my work (getting the next speaker briefed) so that I could come in and watch the rest of his presentation. Thanks again, we would love to book him in for an internal seminar so I’ll be in touch when that comes up!”

We had such wonderful, glowing feedback from all of the participants who let me know how much they had enjoyed your session, myself included. All valued your highly entertaining, insightful and practical insights and tools around innovation. As I said at the time a hard gig to end a long day with - but yet again you pulled it off - energising the whole room. A great high to finish on. My congratulations.

Switched on and quick witted; you’ve left my brain buzzing!
Centre for Social Change

I have been involved in corporate events for over ten years and have never seen a crowd respond so positively or so quickly in all that time. Every single attendee that approached us told us they felt inspired, enthused, full of potential and wanted more. Your ability to simplify processes that for many of them had become quite complex meant they felt motivated, able and ready to make changes and move forward.
