Here are 3 speakers that have messages that go against the current wisdom in their respective fields.  They’re great fun, they’re challenging the status quo, and they are likely to shake up your thinking.  Check them out.

Adam Hartung. (http://www.thephoenixprinciple.com/).  Adam is an experienced entrepreneur, consultant, and business executive.  He conducted research over a decade that convinced him that the current wisdom about business growth was wrong.  Focus on your core, says Adam, and you will end up missing where the marketplace is going.  Adam has a lot of counter-intuitive things to say about how to get your company growing again – even in hard times.

Lisa Merlo-Booth.  (http://www.relationalcoaching.com/).  Lisa has 15 years’ experience counseling individuals and couples and she’s developed some fascinating insights on how women can take control of their emotional lives and create healthy relationships around them, with their partners, their families, and their friends.  Lisa shows women (and men too) how to get out of that I’m-a-victim thinking and get healthy. 

David Rendall.  (http://www.daverendall.typepad.com/).  David is one of the funniest management speakers around.  He weaves stories of not-fitting-in with reasoned arguments for dealing with your employees’ flaws by embracing them rather than sending them to classes to try to improve them. When you focus on trying to train messy people to be tidy, for example, all you do is kill their creativity – probably why you hired them in the first place. 

If you’re looking for a new way of thinking, or wanting to shake up your workplace a little, these speakers fill the bill. Give them a shout!
