(Customized To Your Event)
Nick Jankel is a highly experienced, sought-after, and global top 50 mainstage, motivational, and inspirational keynote speaker and futurist at the very top of his game. He is booked by corporations, institutions, conferences, associations, and nations—think Kellogg's, LEGO, Pfizer, Abu Dhabi, Neom, Google, HP, and No.10 Downing Street—who seek an unprecedented ROI from surprisingly different—electrifying, empowering, and exquisitely customized—keynotes that captivate hearts, ignite minds, and inspire concrete change. He delivers keynotes in person and online all over the world, working out of his bases in Los Angeles and London.
A Cambridge-educated scientist and philosopher (Triple 1st/summa cum laude), Nick has spent 30 years cracking the code of change. His science-backed yet hyper-practical ideas help people navigate uncertainty and complexity, lead in change and lead the change, unlock breakthrough innovation, and take the pain out of transformation. A seasoned expert futurist, he explores what is probable, possible, problematic, and preferable in the Future of Work, Leadership, Health, Education, and Business.
Nick is out to share the mindsets, habits, and daily practices needed to lead brilliantly through change/ uncertainty/ complexity, unlock creative breakthroughs in business models and teamwork, and blast through the barriers that predictably block innovation and transformation. His thought-leading ideas are routinely called "game-changing," "powerful," and "profoundly practical."
Nick backs up his inspiring, motivating, and energizing keynotes with deep expertise and experience gained from three decades spent supporting the success of high-growth start-ups and ambitious organizations like Nike, Unilever, Intel, Virgin, PlayStation, and Novartis and hard-won from his years as successful, serial entrepreneur on the frontlines of digital disruption (he founded his first business aged 24).
Whether headlining at a conference or a top 50-500 leadership event, Nick seeks to touch the hearts and minds of all attendees and inspire them to rethink, reimagine, and rejuvenate so they rise to their challenges with more creativity, clarity, and courage than ever. He reliably delivers WOW-inspiring talks at the intersection of technology, futurology, transformation, change, and innovation.
Immersive and emotive keynotes that engage even the most tired and "seen-it-all-before" attendees, spark connections and meaningful conversations, and inspire “magic moments" of provocation, excitement, and togetherness.
Keynotes designed around your specific needs, audience reality, and industry context to amplify and accelerate your goals, drive a bigger impact, and deliver way beyond expectations.
Evidence-based thinking, brain-based insights, and lived examples that overcome cynicism, expand minds, unlock bold ideas, and provoke Ah-Ha! moments.
Outsized return on your investment in a keynote and event—only achievable by a virtuoso speaker who knows how to galvanize hearts and minds, plant the seeds of transformation, and ignite concrete change in the room.
Transformational leaders deliver 6x results of average leaders. Yet 93% of top execs say their organization does not build effective leaders, and 90% say leadership development does not achieve concrete business results.
While engaged employees are 44% more productive than satisfied ones, inspired employees are +125% more productive! Yet at least 60% of employees are disengaged, costing the economy 9% of GDP each year.
More than eight out of ten leaders are outmatched by the VUCA reality they must lead within, with only 8% able to lead and land innovation and business transformation.
Four out of every ten global CEOs say that their business model will not be viable in 10 years due to disruption. Yet the vast majority of legacy corporations utterly fail at breakthrough innovation.
Repurpose your career, future-proof your organization, and regenerate our crisis-hit world by mastering transformational leadership
By Nick Seneca Jankel
The fast-moving VUCA world of digital technologies, disrupted customers, and global risks is demanding that every leader can adapt their products, people, and processes fast enough to survive. But conventional management science was developed to maintain the status quo, not to transform it. Now Lead The Change presents seven science-driven yet wisdom-led principles of transformational leadership to unlock your capacity to lead the change you want to see.
