Jim Channon
As a keynoter you won't get another podium bound pundit with a prearranged list of magic bullets. Jim doesn't do information. Jim will take you on a trip to tomorrow and load your imaginal mind with charged imagery that invites you into your own best choices... the choices that will make the difference in your world and the world of your enterprise.
He has illustrated and verbally charged the visions of ten of the worlds largest corporations. He is a model of creativity in an unforgettable combination. He has a "whole being intelligence" and all who witness this in action will have a new model of how to move into the future with all their senses working as one. He can aim a group at the precise vision they have suggested and evoke the deepest feelings of resolve to launch them on that path.
For the time he is with you he will be your futurist. And, since he leads the World Business Academy fellows on their quest to determine the best planetary vision for the next century .... he has the brain power of many of the worlds finest visionaries ... in his pocket. Because of his graphic language you will be able to see even your most complex maneuvers come clear. Imagine a football play without a chalk talk? Jim can do twelve dimensions on the same 1 X 2 meter white board. No more wandering in the dark. And he can finish it all off with an uncompromisingly beautiful strategic illustration you can use for years.
“Three things are missing from almost every organization I’ve been through. A sincere desire to love each other in a a brotherly way, an ability to incorporate spiritual values in their work, and an ability to do something physical together. On all three counts I think modern corporations could learn from tribal cultures: Just because those guys can’t make toasters doesn’t mean that singing together, dancing together, and telling stories around a fire isn’t a damn good thing to do.”

Topics Include:
THE WORLD WE WANT
Backed by the thinking power of the World Business Academy fellows where he leads the 100 year vision project EARTHRISE, Jim will focus on the major benchmarks we can imagine on our way to a grand and playful planetary civilization, living on a fully potentialized Earth, and awake to the deeper connections in our galaxy.
LIFE FORCE LEADERSHIP
Jim describes and models a new kind of human intelligence, where channels of information are simultaneously bundled in four or more dimensions to touch reawaken the largely untouched regions of soul, emotions, story, and energy. He himself has taken time to learn and integrate these postural, gestural, tonal, temporal, and imaginal worlds as a new skillset for leaders in our emerging chaordic world..
THE FIVE LOST ARTS OF LEADERSHIP
Digital descriptions and gadgets have distracted leaders from their primal duties. Being just another warmed over project manager does not touch the scope, range, and emotional charge needed by leaders to move the cultures that they lead forward. Jim’s personal success with oratory, storyboards, great gatherings, and ancient wisdom passed by in our rush to use technology to carry the message will reignite lost skills in ways you never imagined.
