First, we talk. Then Jay will tailor a presentation and change process to what you are trying to accomplish. Often, we mix and match aspects of these topics:

• How to take advantage of the informal learning in your organization that already takes place “under the radar.”
• How to profit from your organization’s perspective on time. Find out if you are focus on long-term or short — and how to balance the two.
• Recent discoveries in neuroscience and what they imply for business and learning.
• Kill your training department — and focus on strategically-driven meta-learning.
• Prototype your organization’s success with design thinking

Jay has addressed major conferences in the U.S. Canada, Austria, U.K., Germany, Taiwan, Australia, Portugal,Monaco, and Abu Dhabi.
