UNSELLING THE EMPLOYEE
You and every other employee in your
organization are in sales and marketing
– regardless of your actual department.
That’s because today, every interaction is a
brand interaction. This revealing keynote shows how the “UnSell”
happens daily, online and off, through current, former and prospective
employees. UnSelling is about the big picture: creating
repeat customers, not one-time buyers. If you agree it’s time to
separate from the pack of noise, it’s time for you to start UnSelling.

YOUR SECRET SAUCE – CORPORATE
CULTURE AND CREATIVITY
It’s a conundrum: most organizations
claim to be innovation driven, but very
few practice what they preach. So how,
then, can any of us safeguard our creative and innovative capacities
in this kind of environment? Interweaving narrative and imagery,
Ginger Grant invites you on a heroic journey in search of ways to
cultivate creativity. You’ll learn that by protecting individual creative
capacity, we can all help drive organizational change towards
a brighter economic future.
