The $5 Challenge – A Stanford Strategy Story…

Stanford prof - $5, 2 hours... greatest ROI?
teams... strategies - buy stuff and resell - typically $8; wait in restaurant line and sell spot in queue; best return? $600 - team sold their presentation spot to a company looking to advertise to Stanford students - the $5 was a distraction;

Hi, I’m Conor Neill, I speak and write about Persuasion, the art of Moving People to Action. I have the privilege of being father to two great little daughters. I live in Barcelona, Spain.

Conor is a sought-after keynote speaker on Leadership. He teaches Leadership Communications at IESE Business School and is the President of Vistage in Spain, part of the world’s leading CEO organisation. As an entrepreneur, he has founded 5 companies, selling 16 private jets and building the 3rd largest fleet of private jets in Spain. He is a visiting professor at University College Dublin, the University of Montevideo and Permanent Faculty on Entrepreneurs’ Organisation’s Global Leadership Academy.

What is Persuasion?
* What does it take to move people to action?
* What does it take to have impact when you communicate?
* How can I inspire the people around me to be the best version of themselves?
These are questions that I answer. I answer these questions with tools that work for politicians, business leaders, entrepreneurs and professors.

Where do I begin?

Speak as a Leader is an email driven course. You will learn to deliver speeches that are interesting and lively so that you can capture and maintain your audience’s attention.

Thank you very much for this video. You are changing the lives (minds, perspectives, actions) of others through these words of wisdom. Today I've learned that I can sell something that I don't need to buy (for example I would never ever need children's shoes for myself, but I can sell children's shoes to someone). I had a mantra for myself: sell what you buy, because you know the product in and out. But now I see there is a different way of looking at the process of serving people with their needs.

Great lesson from this video! I think this is a great example of “thinking outside the box” and as you mentioned: take profit of your(s) asset(s) and your network. I once read that the quality and the size of network defines your NET WORTH. Thanks for always sharing great content and information explained very clear! Saludos!
