Seth Godin Speaking Topics

  • The leadership circle - Virtual

    This is the real breakthrough. It’s a 90-minute session for up to 250 people. Seth gives a recorded four-minute prompt, then the group is digitally put into groups of four or five people. Run in real time by a trained coach, it happens instantly, at the touch of a button. The mini-groups engage around the prompt, and then, 9 minutes later, they magically rejoin the larger group. This process is repeated several times over 90 minutes. Everyone is seen, everyone is heard, everyone is connected. We’ve pioneered this approach, and proven that it works… it’s an extraordinary shift in energy and connection. We bring our own software and moderator to run it each time.

  • A live roundtable - Virtual

    This is a useful way to engage with 20 to 30 people. Each person is on Zoom, along with Seth. Seth does a live 10-minute firestarter chat, and then we open the floor to questions. The questions come in via chat, Seth calls on people and the conversation moves quickly. The event is recorded for people who are unable to attend. Each time you run this, Seth is live, so you have less flexibility in timing.
