• Creating a Culture of Impact and Purpose

  Imagine what companies could accomplish and be if their entire workforce was activated by a sense of purpose. This isn’t just about employee satisfaction, recruiting, or retention; this is about tapping into the movement of purpose so that both companies AND society win.

  In this presentation, Mick Ebeling will delve into how leaders can cultivate a culture of purpose and impact and the direct effect this has on profitability, productivity, innovation, and engagement.

  Audiences will learn:

  • The importance of fostering a sense of purpose among employees and how it transcends traditional markers of job satisfaction.
  • How to identify and work with individuals who possess collaboration-worthy traits.

• The Fallacy of “Impossible”

  Since the launch of the Eyewriter and Not Impossible Foundation, Mick Ebeling has passionately studied the concept of “impossible.” All the modern conveniences we see around us were once considered “impossible” by people who didn’t know any better. Synthetic fabrics, cell phones and digital watches (not to mention cars and computers) were all figments of the imagination until inspiration met execution and the impossible became a reality.

  In this talk, Ebeling dives deeper into “impossible,” the underlying psychological effects it has on an organization, and how to overcome “impossible” so true innovation can take place.

  Audiences will learn:

  • The psychological effects of the concept of “impossible” on organizations.
  • Methodologies and practices that companies can employ to instill a culture where every employee feels aligned with a broader mission, contributing to society as well as to the company’s goals.

• Radical Collaboration

  Take a Hollywood producer, a New York professor, a fine artist, and a hacker with a criminal record — put them together and what do you get? A device that helped a paralyzed man create drawings using only the movement of his eyes. Collaboration comes in many form, some of them unexpected.

  In this talk, Mick Ebeling discusses the tools necessary to become a stellar collaborator, and to recognize the traits of collaboration-worthy individuals for your next big idea.

  Audiences will learn:

  • The value of diverse perspectives and skills in driving creativity and innovation.
  • How to overcome common obstacles in collaborative projects, such as differences in opinion, communication barriers, and coordination challenges.
