Keynote Session

Rocket Yeah: Everyday Ways to Ignite Innovation & Growth in the Galaxy of Change

Speaker: Jason Kotecki

1.5 NAB CE

In a fast-moving world where change is the only constant, a spirit of innovation is needed in every organization. What worked yesterday probably won’t work tomorrow. Thanks to Jason’s uncommon combination of humor and pragmatism, this program provides an impressive array of inspiring and practical takeaways to help you survive — and thrive — in this environment. 

He’ll arm you with tools for getting better at identifying old ways of thinking that are holding you back. He’ll introduce you to the art and benefits of “tinkering,” the perfect tool for strategically discovering amazing opportunities hidden in plain sight. And he will show you how to find your own “must be nices,” unfair competitive advantages that can be leveraged as building blocks for success. Jason’s fresh perspective will spark breakthrough levels of innovation, growth, and the roadmap to accomplish what was once thought impossible.

Jason is a globally collected and licensed artist featured in Inc. and Woman’s Day, and the author of seven books, including Penguins Can’t Fly + 39 Other Rules That Don’t Exist, A Chance of Awesome, and Must Be Nice. He also recently released his first children’s book, The Penguin Who Flew.

As a speaker, he helps organizations beat burnout and spark innovation by “breaking rules that don’t exist.” He is one of fewer than 900 speakers worldwide to hold the CSP® (Certified Speaking Professional) designation.
