I sit on the executive of the Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractic (CNAC).  Lance delivered a fantastic session at our AGM that was very well received by our attendees.  Lance is a teacher of inspiration and finding meaning in the work and lives we lead and touch.  In a Wayne-Dyer-esque tone, Lance took us on a touching journey that went beyond motivation to inspiration, based on teachings in his latest book, “Reawakening the Human Spirit”. I highly recommend him as a keynote speaker.

The Bellwether Effect

This keynote draws on Dr. Secretan’s recent bestseller, The Bellwether Effect, which explores how and why leaders are attracted to, and seduced by, trendy ideas, and the process by which these ideas then become mainstream (he calls the originators of these trends “bellwethers”).  He shares eight examples of counterproductive business practices (which contribute to 80% of employees wishing they could quit) and proposes novel and inspiring alternatives that, for forward-thinking organizations, is leading to transformation, exceptional results and an inspiring culture. See a short video clip here.

The Spark, the Flame, and the Torch

During this keynote, Dr. Lance Secretan will take us on an invigorating, radical and inspiring journey in which he will describe why our contemporary leadership paradigm is broken—in politics, business, academia, healthcare, law, religion and elsewhere, and share an entirely fresh approach that breaks away from the pack—a reset—that has been successfully proven by corporations, cities, states and provinces and countries.

A Grand Theory of Corporate Vitality

ONE Dream®: The Transformative Journey

In many organizations internal competition for resources, ideology, and the need for control or power hamper the development of a unified vision. The creation of what Dr. Secretan calls ONE Dream® raises the aspirations of all the parties—inspiring them as ONE—because a dream elevates the conversation to Higher Ground, above the mundane and the pedestrian, to where the inspiration of shared ideals hold sway, leaving the squabbles over territory, power, and position to the lower ground.

ONE: The Art and practice of Conscious Leadership

Dr. Lance Secretan shares the practice of Conscious Leadership through the transformative CASTLE® Principles for you to experience. How do we live as Conscious Leaders? By practicing the CASTLE® PrinciplesCourage, Authenticity, Service, Truthfulness, Love and Effectiveness. Of course, saying it and living it are two different things—but not as difficult as we imagine.

Spirit@Work®

There are contemplative cards for almost every aspect of life—except business. Lance Secretan saw this need and created the Spirit@Work® Cards to meet it.  Several printings followed, and people have found many applications for them in corporations and organizations of all kinds and they are now widely used for setting the tone of meetings, to provide inspiration in the workday and as personal gifts of friendship and spirit. This is a highly interactive keynote where the audience controls the content through the Spirit@Work® Mobile app.
