Imagine stepping into an event where every detail is designed to foster connection—from greetings to post-event networking. 📖 Our guest Wendy Porter knows all about it—she is a trailblazing meeting planner with over 30 years of experience producing high-profile events for Fortune 500 companies, the Super Bowl, and global trade shows. Her innovative WPE Planning Process has set the standard for live, virtual, and hybrid events. She explains that a seamless event experience relies on more than just technology; it needs a careful mix of virtual convenience and in-person magic. As budgets shift and research proves the ROI of live experiences, it’s clear that live events offer unique benefits, such as: • Integrate live elements that spur spontaneous interaction and networking. • Enhance—but not replace—the benefits of in-person experiences with technology. • Design event agendas that blend content with a genuine connection. • Adjust strategies continuously based on attendee feedback and data trends. 🎯 No virtual experience beats the energy, spontaneity, and personal interaction of in-person events; of an event where every handshake, every look, and every shared laugh creates an atmosphere of energy and collaboration. Wendy’s approach challenges you to rethink your event strategy and prioritize the distinctive benefits of each step that will help build lasting relationships. ✨ 👉 Visit our website: https://thekeynotecurators.com 📺 Watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/_uShXX0IwBA&list=PLXTlGHk63lLhUq_lEU1bnM3LbQgMfwD-u 💼 Schedule a strategy session today: https://calendly.com/thekeynotecurators/15minthekeynotecurators ⏰ 📧 Email us at: info@thekeynotecurators.com 00:00 "Why In-Person Keynotes?"

Creating Unforgettable Event Experiences

What if the nerves that drive elite athletes could also propel your leadership? 🏆💬🌟 Mike Robbins @mikerobbinsvideo takes us from the pitcher’s mound to the keynote stage and shows how even the most confident athletes face self‑doubt. Drafted by the Yankees and Royals, he struggled with insecurity at every level—until an injury cut short his playing career. Instead of hiding that fear, he learned that admitting it—and knowing everyone else feels it, too—lets you turn anxiety into action. Meet Mike Robbins, a Stanford‑trained athlete and CSP‑certified speaker whose books on resilience and authenticity help Google, Microsoft, the NBA, and many more excel under pressure. Mike blends emotional intelligence with real‑world grit so leaders and teams can perform their best when it counts. Whether you’re stepping up to the plate in baseball or the boardroom, leadership demands two things: vulnerability and the courage to ask for support. When we stop comparing our insides to others’ outsides, we unlock the true power of collaborative trust. • Normalize the fear by admitting you’re nervous—most people are! • Channel it by turning anxiety into focused energy, like a pre‑game mental routine • Lean on peers when you share doubts with trusted teammates to lighten the load True leaders don’t banish fear—they harness it. Every time you admit doubt and act anyway, you build resilience that lifts both you and your team. 🎙️ Watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/NR_ld0OM-zs 🙌 Partner with leadership keynote speaker Mike Robbins for your next event: https://thekeynotecurators.com/speaker/book-mike-robbins/ 📊 Book a leadership resilience session: https://calendly.com/thekeynotecurators/leadership-resilience 📧 Let’s talk leadership breakthroughs: info@thekeynotecurators.com 00:00 From Yankees Draft to Imposter Syndrome 01:44 "Everyone Else Was Scared Too" 02:49 Fear in Performance: Djokovic’s "Storm Inside" 06:16 Steph Curry’s Playbook: Calm Under Pressure #Leadership #ImposterSyndrome #Resilience #MikeRobbins #TeamPerformance "I was barely six feet tall [...] I was throwing 88 miles an hour [...] I wasn’t the biggest, strongest, or most talented [...] If I could go back, I’d say: ‘Everyone else is freaked out too. Don’t think something’s wrong with you because you’re nervous.’" — Mike Robbins "Most of us compare our insides to other people’s outsides [...] We’re aware of our own fears/doubts [...] We can’t see that in others unless they tell us." — Mike Robbins "I’ve been speaking for 25 years [...] People say, ‘You don’t get nervous.’ I look at them like, ‘What are you talking about? Of course I get nervous.’ [...] Fear doesn’t overtake me now because I’ve learned techniques to channel it." — Mike Robbins "What must it be like for a politician in a debate or a Super Bowl player? They’re feeling fear [...] Leadership is about calming yourself to respond to the present moment—that’s where authenticity shows up." — Mike Robbins --- Bringing people together to exchange ideas and hear from thought leaders who educate and inspire is what you do best.

How to Turn Self-Doubt Into Leadership Success

How can changing your message make your audience feel more connected to you and engaged to what you’re saying? When a speaker changes their words to match what the audience needs, it makes a big difference and it can really change lives. Greg Schwem, known as “the king of corporate comedy,” is great at changing his material to fit every crowd. With years of experience, he mixes clean, custom comedy with the right message to make people smile. He explains that tailoring your message means trying new jokes and figuring out what topics work best for the audience you’re going to perform—even before the event starts. Here are his tips: • Hold pre-event calls to learn audience preferences. 📞 • Talk with your audience before the event to learn what they like. 📝 • Balance risk by knowing what should not be said. 🤔 • Use feedback to improve your message and make a big impact. 🤓 By adapting your material to cover topics that matter to your audience, you ensure they feel seen, engaged, and inspired by your message. His approach shows that when humor fits the audience, it creates strong, genuine connections. 🎧 Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl9Qi0R94wI&list=PLXTlGHk63lLhUq_lEU1bnM3LbQgMfwD-u ✨ Hire comedian keynote speaker Greg Schwem for your next event: https://thekeynotecurators.com/speaker/book-greg-schwem/ ⏰ Let's set a time!

[…] It’s a risk. You’ve got to ask, What shouldn’t I talk about? Even if I have no idea what they’ll say." — Greg Schwem "I had a joke bomb because four people thought it’d be funny. The masses didn’t. It wasn’t offensive—they just didn’t want to hear about that topic." — Greg Schwem "My job isn’t to make people uncomfortable.

Tailor Your Content And Connect With Your Audience's Needs

Ready to rethink strategy and tactics? Seth Godin breaks down the “hard work before the hard work” (strategy) versus the on‑court moves (tactics). Seth Godin, marketing provocateur and 22‑time bestselling author, pioneered Permission Marketing and distilled decades of insight in This Is Strategy. He teaches millions how to outthink their toughest opponents—and in our conversation, Seth Godin illustrates what Björn Borg’s tennis strategy and Walmart’s retail play can teach you about nailing your overarching strategy first, and then picking tactics that follow it. From Borg’s cross‑court rally plan to Walmart’s choice not to out‑Amazon Amazon, he shows why a clear strategy is the only way to thrive. Start with your strategy, then pick tactics that deliver: • Define the Rules – map the playing field, competitors’ strengths, and system biases • Choose Your Strategy – pick a clear, repeatable approach that neutralizes opponents’ advantages • Deploy Tactics – select specific actions that execute your strategy under pressure True success comes from defining a winning strategy before deploying tactics that execute it. What “cross‑court” tactic have you overused? What bigger strategy are you missing? Drop your thoughts below! 🎯 Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNBPj9TN1Kg 🚀 Partner with Thought Leadership keynote speaker Seth Godin for your next event: https://thekeynotecurators.com/speaker/seth-godin/ 📅 Book a free 15‑minute strategy session: https://calendly.com/thekeynotecurators/15minthekeynotecurators ✉️ Reach out: info@thekeynotecurators.com 00:00 How Borg Drove McEnroe Crazy (Spoiler: It Wasn’t Talent) 01:13 Walmart’s 1999 Lesson: How To Outlast Amazon 02:53 The Real Cost Of Tactics Without Strategy #Strategy #Tactics #SethGodin #Marketing #ThoughtLeadership 📸 Photo by Abby Greenawalt “Strategy’s the hard work we do before we do the hard work. Walmart’s strategy: ‘We can’t out-Amazon Amazon.’ They bought themselves decades to build alternatives instead of playing Amazon’s losing game.” — Seth Godin “Borg’s strategy was to drive McEnroe crazy. His tactic? Relentless cross-court shots. Tactics without strategy are just hitting the ball.” — Seth Godin --- Bringing people together to exchange ideas and hear from thought leaders who educate and inspire is what you do best.

Is Old Communication Dead? The AI Era Demands a New Strategy

AI can help analyze data—but at the end of the day, humans must make the final decisions, especially when the stakes are high and your team's success is put to the test. But what if our best decisions come from mixing AI insights with human intuition? Caspar Berry is a seasoned keynote speaker with a background in professional poker and entrepreneurship. His skill in risk-taking and strategic decision-making helps leaders balance advanced technology with the human touch. 🎤 He explains that although AI can process large amounts of data and predict outcomes, the final decision must always be made by a person. He compares it to climbing Everest with a Sherpa: AI collects the data, but only you can choose to reach the top. Here are some key points: • Leverage AI to process data but always keep a human in charge • Take responsibility for final decisions to ensure accountability • Mix data analysis with intuitive judgment for smart risk-taking • Use calculated risk to navigate uncertainty in every area In every market—from poker to finance and every other one you can think of—the human touch is essential for making smart decisions, ensuring that calculated risk and accountability stay in focus. 📽️ Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToWMc-xyx6w&list=PLXTlGHk63lLhUq_lEU1bnM3LbQgMfwD-u 🤩 Hire decision-making, artificial intelligence keynote speaker Caspar Berry for your next event: https://thekeynotecurators.com/speaker/book-caspar-berry/ 🕒 Let’s connect!

Success Isn't Just Skills, It's About Connecting with Others

Imagine if regret wasn’t something to hide but something to harness. 🔍 In this clip from our exclusive interview, Seth Dechtman kicks off by noting Dan Pink’s track record—#1 New York Times bestsellers like Drive and The Power of Regret—and asks why, despite advice to “always look forward,” regret remains universal and misunderstood. Dan Pink is a #1 New York Times bestselling author whose books (When, Drive, The Power of Regret) help organizations motivate, innovate, and lead. Recognized by Thinkers50 and as host of The Pinkcast, he turns social science into practical tools for better living. He argues that instead of stuffing regret down, we should treat it as data. Examining our regrets unlocks insights that guide smarter decisions, improve performance, and deepen purpose. Rather than say, “I have no regrets,” you might be robbing yourself of growth. Look backward to move forward: • Spot your signals: notice the recurring “I wish I had…” thoughts • Name the lesson: what value is each regret pointing to? • Take action: use that insight today with compassion Join us as we turn regret from a guilty secret into a secret weapon.

What You Can Learn from Regret to Move Forward, with Dan Pink

Think authenticity means only “telling it like it is”? Think again. Mike Robbins sees authenticity not as a checkbox but as a daily practice. He sums it up with a simple equation. As he shares with us, telling the truth isn’t enough—leaders must judge less and show the courage to be human. That balance sparks real connection and real influence. Meet Mike Robbins, bestselling author of five books on authenticity, resilience, and team culture. A former Stanford athlete turned speaker, he’s guided Microsoft, LinkedIn, the NBA, and others in building places where people can truly thrive. In a world of polished social feeds and endless how‑to videos, genuinely feels counter-cultural. But teams that follow this equation enjoy deeper trust, faster problem‑solving, and stronger engagement. Want to try it? Start here: • Honesty: Speak your truth—clear, concise, and kind. • Have Less (-) Self‑Righteousness: Check your ego and listen to others. • Practice More (+) Vulnerability: Share a real fear, mistake, or question. There’s no final “authenticity summit”—it’s a daily choice. Every time you speak more truth, judge less, and show more of yourself, you move closer to genuine leadership. 🎬 Watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/NR_ld0OM-zs 🤝 Hire an authenticity & vulnerability keynote speaker Mike Robbins for your next event: https://thekeynotecurators.com/speaker/book-mike-robbins/ 📅 Schedule a vulnerability workshop for your team: https://calendly.com/thekeynotecurators/vulnerability-session ✉️ Reach out to discuss: info@thekeynotecurators.com YouTube Chapters 00:00 Honesty ≠ Authenticity: Subtract Self-Righteousness, Add Vulnerability 01:10 Fear & Faking It: Why We Withhold Truth 03:18 The Paradox: When "Fake It Till You Make It" Backfires #Vulnerability #AuthenticLeadership #Teamwork #EmotionalIntelligence #MikeRobbins "The way that I define [authenticity] is [...] honesty minus self-righteousness. Plus vulnerability. And as we start to get into that [...] there's a little more nuanced. There's a little more paradox." — Mike Robbins "When we're not being authentic [...] usually we're scared [...] It's more about withholding what we really think. It's not asking the question. It's not going, I don't think that's a good idea or I don't understand that or I'm uncomfortable with that." — Mike Robbins "The notion of fake it till you make it is an important one [...] At the same time though, if we're faking it in a way where we're either not telling the truth to ourselves or we're trying to pretend like it's not there [...] it's about being honest with ourselves and ideally being honest with some people around us who we can lean on." — Mike Robbins --- Bringing people together to exchange ideas and hear from thought leaders who educate and inspire is what you do best.
