This was an episode that was recorded at the FLCMAA Summer Conference held in Sarasota, FL. I had the privilege of chatting with Alan Gregerman who was one of our keynote speakers and from what I and many others felt - the best session of the conference! Alan shared the power of curiosity, creativity and looking at things with a beginners mind and stay open to seeing how new ideas and concepts can come from existing things, designs or processes. He's an incredible speaker and an even more incredible person who has a zest for life and a natural curiosity for seeing things differently.
Alan's Bio:
Alan Gregerman is a highly-respected and award-winning keynote
speaker, best-selling author, business consultant, teacher, community
volunteer, and all-around nice guy who has been called “one of the
most original thinkers in business today” and “the Robin Williams of
business consulting.” His work, research, and writing focus on helping
companies and organizations to unlock the genius in all of their
people in order to innovate, grow, and deliver the most compelling
value to their customers.
Alan’s first three books—"The Necessity of Strangers," "Surrounded by
Geniuses," and "Lessons from the Sandbox"—challenge our thinking
about people, the world around us, where brilliant ideas actually come
from, and how to reach our full potential as individuals, leaders, and
organizations. His newest book, "The Wisdom of Ignorance,” available
October 2025, is all about the six essential skills all of us and all of our
companies and organizations will need to master to innovate, have
greater impact, and remain relevant in a fast-changing and uncertain
world.
