Topics
LIVING WITH LIES: SURVIVING IN A WORLD WITH CYBERCRIME, FAKE NEWS AND WHITE LIES
What is real? What isn't? It's harder than ever to answer that question in a world that's flooded with deep fakes, clickbait, fishing emails, fake news, robot attacks on social media. In this LectureShow© you will experience (illusions, mentalism, story and more) how lies work and how we are natural born liars ourselves. We use them all day every day for good (placebos and other ways to use our imagination) but we're also exposed to the dark side. How can you recognize the lie? How can you protect yourself against abuse of the lie? How can you become aware of your vulnerabilities?
ON creativity and INNOVATION: live and work like a professional creator
Habits always beat novelty. The psychological and biological science behind this statement is explained and illustrated with illusions, mentalism and comedy. But what if old habits don't work anymore? How do we escape our old ways of thinking, collaborating, managing and organizing? In this LectureShow© (great content, high entertainment value) you will learn how your reality follows your focus. You will become aware of what induces change and how you can use George Parker's SurvivalVersion to stop repeating your past and start rehearsing your future. It will align all levels of activity (mental, physical, emotional, material, spiritual) with the results you want to see happen. The pain and anxiety of doing that is far less than the pain and anxiety of the consequences and regret of not having done that.
ON CREATIVE COLLABORATION: ONE PLUS ONE = 85 BILLION
There are many ways to work together. We can stack our expertise and experience like bricks in a wall. We can go further and allow our qualities to interlock like a jigsaw puzzle. High performance teams take this to the max: they work together like a sperm and an egg cell producing something new they couldn't have produced on their own and will ultimately have 85 billion braincells to create a life of its own. How can you create a team like this? What are the attitudes, focus, ways of communication that are productive and let each team member rise above him/herself? George illustrates the positive consequences using amazing mentalisme acts.

The alchemy of presentation: turn good into exciting and fascinating
In this masterclass George Parker works with you to turn a solid, good presentation into an exciting and fascinating experience for your guests. He's done thousands of theatershows and keynotes, he's taught thousands of workshops and he has a background in several careers in business. Add it all up and you will profit from his vast knowledge and colorful experiences to make your presentation memorable. While improving your own presentations (keynotes, talking to your team/organization, sales pitches) George teaches you a powerful psychological algorithm you can use for any type of communication. He offers you his approach (The Alchemy of Presentation) to building powerful presentations that will be remembered for many years. You will get the notebook/workbook including the system.
Creative coaching: from vague intentions to inspiring results
Any manager knows that giving direction the wrong way will produce passive lazy co-workers. How can you inspire people? How do you move them from a reactive to a creative state of mind? How do you help them to turn vague ideas into concrete visions and immediate actions? How do you evaluate? It's simpler than you would think. George Parker's IDEAL Cycle offers a universal approach to any creative process. In this workshop you will learn to use the five key ingredients of IDEAL to help other people (co-workers, clients, employees) to visualize their ideas, think outside-of-the-box, design ways to make their visions come true, experiment and improvize in order to learn their way towards realizing the results they want.

The Trickster
For more blogs go to www.georgeparker.nl. Like many others, I’m inclined to cross lines. It’s exciting because I always discover new things. Stealing a cookie while I know I shouldn’t, sustaining a verbal fight longer than is good for the relationship, overloading myself with work to see if I can manage it, dressing myself an a sometimes radically different way than is the norm. Much later I discovered that this trait is part of my role as a magician. The trickster part is one of the cornerstones of the magician as the ultimate change agent. The book “Trickster makes this world” by Lewis Hyde (2010) is subtitled: “Mischief, myth and art”. In the book, Hyde defends that the “trickster” role is necessary for development and growth. We need figures like Reinaert the Fox, Pippi Longstocking, Bugs Bunny, Tijl Uilenspiegel to stress-test reality. Disconnected tricksters such as the Batman Joker just disrupt to disrupt. Which usually leads to crime or aggression and destruction. To much comfort will become uncomfortable. You can prevent a lot of negative resistance in organizations by allowing the trickster to take the stage early. Allow early protesters to voice their concerns and help them connect to the underlying ultimate goals to help you transform. If you don’t do this, pat positions will develop as they often did in old-fashioned trade union actions and negotiations. You are then already far too late. Instead of transforming reality it will polarize. On a smaller scale you can unleash the trickster within yourself. If you feel the energy diminishes, things become predictable and boring or you find it hard to stay focused, it’s time to disrupt. Write an email as if you were Shakespeare or a rapper. Ask a colleague an unexpectedly deep question. Call a stranger and ask her / him advice. Come up with a surprise for a colleague, friends or your partner or kids. Energy will be released and you will distance yourself from current reality and be able to see the bigger picture. Fresh ideas are guaranteed.
