Abstract: As Yogi Berra once said, “The future ain’t what it used to be.” It used to take generations for even one major change to occur. Now, many changes occur within just one life-time.  The challenge is how to engage a group of people in this rapidly increasing tempo of change.  Dr. Deming often said “Survival is not mandatory.”  Change is often asymmetrical.  The world changes and you must change or become obsolete.  In this keynote, I will share a methodology I have developed that helps individuals change for the better and gives you the insight to help others improve as well: better questions, better skills, better spirit.
