Request SpeakerSpeaker Bio
Greg McKeown is a highly-sought after keynote speaker who is well-known for his concept of Essentialism, where speaks on such topics as leadership, innovation, future of work, and optimizing business processes. He has talked to hundreds of audiences worldwide, including in Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, England, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, and Singapore where his list of clients include Apple, Google, Facebook, Pixar, Twitter, Salesforce.com, Symantec, VMware, and Yahoo!.
His book, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less is more than just learning to manage your time and accomplish more. It is a method for figuring out what is important and getting rid of everything else so that we can do the most good for the things that matter.
By compelling us to use more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less enables us to retake control over where we spend our valuable time and energy, as opposed to implicitly permitting others to do so.
Essentialism is not just one more thing; it is an entirely new approach to everything. It is about doing less but better in all aspects of life. Essentialism is a movement that has come of age.
Greg McKeown questions conventional wisdom in a distinctive and fascinating approach from the first moment to the final one. As the event organizer at Greater Public commented after McKeown addressed their 1,000-person conference, “I have been part of this event for 16 years, and McKeown is the best speaker we have ever had!”
Highlights involve speaking at SXSW, meeting Al Gore at the Annual Conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and getting an invitation from Haakon, the Crown Prince of Norway, to speak at his Annual Innovation Conference.
