Topics

A Blind Man with vision

This presentation takes the audience on a moving journey of Hein’s view on the world he lives in. He shares some of his light and dark moments as well as his personal recipe to achieve extraordinary results. MY KEYNOTE presentation "A Blind man with Vision" will • Inspire and motivate your staff to achieve what they perceive to be the impossible. • Demonstrate how only 3 universal laws can bring significant positive change to their work and personal circumstances. • Create a deeper sense of appreciation. • Cement the value of trust and how important it is to nurture trusting relationships, both business and personal. • Highlight the unmeasurable value of the notion of giving. • Show your staff how to turn huge obstacles into major opportunities. • Help to remove the concept of giving up from their frame of reference. • Demonstrate the endless possibilities by using their five senses. • Demonstrate the benefits of having vision as oppose to sight. I use a lot of self-deprecating humor in my keynote presentation. I’ve developed a technique to take my audience through all the emotions on the spectrum. From tears of laughter to tears of self-reflection I hold them in the palm of my hand throughout, while sharing my personal learnings. I provide tools which they can use to overcome any obstacle. I tailor-make my keynote presentation to include the key objectives of your business in a way that will be fresh and impact upon the audience. I will leave your audience inspired, motivated and equipped to turn perceived challenges and obstacles in to opportunities. I manage to convince them to believe that they have what it takes to achieve on any level they choose. Hein recommends this keynote for any kind of conference or seminar that deals with any theme or topic including sales, marketing, leadership, strategic planning, team building, project planning / kick-off or just pure staff motivation.

“Your talk was beautifully synergistic with our conference theme - to get to where you need to be - be prepared to work for it and believe. That we can achieve it. And your themes of being bold and brave enough. The only thing worse than being blind is having sight without vision

Every once in a while someone special crosses your path.... He is charismatic, energetic and passionate about his cause. He delivered a most remarkable account of his achievements in the most relaxed and humorous manner.
