Masters in Business Imagination – The Only Degree You’ll Ever Need!

Each day, I post a motivational quote from a stage to my Instagram feed. Follow me and get inspired!

This morning, I suggested that we need more people with a new degree I’ve proposed, that I call the Masters in Business Imagination!

I’ve been proposing this for quite some time, and in fact, back in 2004, wrote the MBI Manifesto. You can read it here, or access the PDF ] [icon name=”file-pdf-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]

I’ve done several keynotes specifically on the MBI theme; indeed, Fairmont/Raffles Hotel International had me in for a senior leadership meeting, to encourage their team to think differently about the future. How did it go?

“Thank you for coming to Whistler and speaking to our leadership team. Wow! What a session – we’ve seen a lot of motivational speakers, but you really managed to capture the reality of what we need to innovate in the context of some pretty dramatic trends and change. Outstanding!“

Keynote: The Masters in Business Imagination: Motivational Guidance for the Era of Fast!

In an era of dramatic and relentless change, people and organizations are scrambling to align themselves for a new, topsy-turvy world. Jim Carroll comes to the rescue with his keynote, The Masters in Business Imagination which will inspire your team to adopt relentless creativity and innovation as core virtues. Once you ‘graduate’ from his MBI class, you’ll possess the skills common to this critical degree of the 21st century economy, by linking your initiatives to a carefully calibrated curriculum of change-oriented thinking.

MBI’s see things differently – they don’t look at things like most people. MBI’s spur creativity in other people – they inspire others to develop similar levels of imaginative thinking. They focus on opportunity – not threat and realize that action, not inaction, is the driving force for the future. They refuse to accept the status quo and are prepared to eliminate habit. MBI’s bring big ideas to life – and paint pictures of where the organization is going to go, rather than focusing on where it has been in the past. They learn and unlearn, forgoing the dangerous assumption that what they know today will carry them into tomorrow. Most important of all, they refuse to say the word CAN’T. They know that barriers, perceived or otherwise, are simply temporary roadblocks that they can get around with fresh insight, imaginative analysis, and creative thinking!

Fire up your enthusiasm, energy and innovation spirit with a unique motivational keynote by futurist Jim Carroll, as he inspires your team to align themselves to the only degree they will need for the future – The Masters in Business Imagination!
