John Sadowsky Speaking Topics

  • Opening our Minds to Issues of Cross-Cultural Business & Management

    Business is becoming more international every day. While doing business and advising companies around the globe for over 20 years, John has seen important deals and negotiations fall apart due to very basic cultural misunderstandings. He once attended a meeting between a group of German investors and a French company; the Germans showed up in time, ready to get down to business. The French sailed into the office 45 minutes late, politely asking the astounded Germans how they’d like their coffee and if they watched the soccer match last night…

    In this keynote, John helps you to open your mind and understand the complexity of crossing cultures. Across the broad spectrum of cultures, John has observed a wide variety of components and characteristics that should be considered: diverse notions of time, space and context; differences in the way work is organized and performed; and different views of hierarchy and human interaction. Based on these observations, he has built a framework that we can all use to understand what we should be sensitive to when managing, doing sales and conducting business internationally.

  • Telling your Brand Story

    Storytelling is the most powerful form of communication known to man, and advertisers have known this for decades. At the same time, relatively few companies and brands today use this tool effectively. In this keynote, based on in-depth interviews and case studies he did for his book The New Marketing: E-mail, Social Media and the Art of Storytelling, John speaks about brands that have been successful at creating and managing their e-reputation, and at building a true community of followers, often without spending vast resources. Based on his pioneering Sadowsky Method of leading from the inside out, outlined in his upcoming book (Fall 2014), John also explains the similarities between coaching a leader and coaching a brand; he coined the term Emotional Transportation Business (ETB) to describe the process of moving people, in their minds, from indifference to interest. He shows how your brand can learn to operate successfully in the ETB, and that the tools for developing and fostering a brand community are accessible to everyone.
