Mindshift
Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future

Based on Brian’s latest book, Mindshift, Solis explores the critical need for businesses and leaders to foster a mindset of continuous innovation. Drawing from this work, the keynote will challenge conventional thinking, urging leaders to embrace disruption as a catalyst for meaningful change. He will share actionable strategies to ignite organizational change, inspire teams to act with purpose, and navigate the complexities of today’s digital-first landscape, a shift from the industrial-era of business. Attendees will leave inspired and equipped with a “mindshift” framework and the characteristics necessary to foster creativity, resilience, and human-centered innovation—paving the way for a better tomorrow.

Hey, Mr. Futurist, WTF (What’s The Future) of…My Industry?

AI and other disruptive technologies are reshaping every aspect of business, from operational efficiencies to customer engagement. What does it take to lead an organization in an AI-first world? Drawing on his AI Maturity Model, Brian will guide leaders through the exponential potential of generative AI, Web3, and the metaverse, reimagining leadership and business performance for lasting impact. This keynote explores how forward-thinking companies are using these innovations to augment, not just automate, fostering a future-ready business capable of achieving exponential growth and transformation.

Generation-C
A New Age of Consumers

The digital age has given rise to a new kind of consumer: connected, conscious, and always evolving. How can businesses meaningfully engage with this behavior-driven market? Brian will introduce Generation-C, a demographic defined by shared behaviors rather than age, exploring the “6th love language” of today’s customer and employee: digital empathy. Attendees will learn how to design impactful customer experiences that foster loyalty, transforming traditional touchpoints into unforgettable “ignite moments.” This session equips leaders to adapt to shifting consumer expectations and build a brand that connects deeply with its audience.

Through insights on industry challenges and new economic realities, attendees will gain a clear understanding of what it takes to remain relevant and resilient, ready to lead their organizations into a future where traditional playbooks no longer apply.

Lifescaleby Brian Solis

Lifescale

by Brian Solis

Somewhere along the way, we got distracted. As much as we multitask, love our devices and feel like we're in control, deep down we know that something is off. Shortened attention spans, declines in critical thinking, lack of sleep, self-doubt and decreased creativity are just some of the effects coming to light in an age of digital distraction.

It's time to reclaim our lives. It's time to take control.

Lifescale is a journey of self-discovery and growth. It's about getting back into balance and remastering our destinies. Author Brian Solis knows first-hand. He struggled with distraction and all of its ill-effects. To get his life back, he developed a set of techniques, exercises, and thought experiments designed to tame the chaos, and positively and productively navigate our day-to-day lives. Instead of falling victim to the never-ending cycle of newsfeeds, Likes, addictive apps, and boredom scrolling (aka the endless scroll), we can learn to manage our time and inspire our own lives in a way that will bring meaning back--without sacrificing the benefits that our devices bring us.

In Lifescale, Brian has done the legwork to pull together scientific findings and practical tools into one book. Readers--especially those who are distracted--will connect with the humor, pathos, and inspiration inside. Using this book's simple but powerful lessons, we can:

  • Identify sources of distraction and turn attention toward creativity and productivity
  • Understand and resist the manipulative techniques that turn us into digital addicts
  • Find meaning and purpose to guide our time in more meaningful ways
  • Visualize future success to successfully dive into deep work and stop procrastinating
  • Break bad habits, establish rituals, and establish routines that help you achieve goals
  • Nurture imagination and learn to express ourselves more artistically
  • Maximize productivity with simple but effective strategies
  • Focus for extended periods and make breaks more restorative
  • Foster a strong sense of purpose in life and identify the steps needed to bring it to life every day
  • Smile more and build self-esteem

With the renewed perspective Lifescale offers, we can finally learn to prioritize what matters, and live our digital and physical lives with intention and true happiness.
