Social MediaFrom What If to How Might IThe Surprising Backstory of the Musical Who is Esther

What do you do when you are faced with an impossible challenge? Or when you are given the direst, bleakest news?

Most don’t even consider these questions, so here’s another: Is it possible that our toughest and hardest challenges are precisely the things that can help us achieve our greatest success?  

In this presentation, Randall answers this question with a definitive “Yes” … and provides a sneak preview to the musical Who Is Esther – which he wrote while receiving treatment for leukemia and a subsequent bone marrow transplant.

Randall shares the two key phrases that unlock potential, and helps audiences see that achieving their personal and professional goals are completely within their power.  What If explores the beauty of the possible, while How Might I explores the many ways to get there.

The keynote includes a short musical performance, the inspiring Who Is Esther story, and practical content that motivates the audience to action.

Each presentation is customized for the audience; some examples:

  • Healthcare workers:  Focus is on the impact that they make each day with their patients
  • Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs:  More on the challenges of growing a business, and being a motivational leader
  • Marketing and Sales, Kick-off events, etc: More on achieving their targets, alignment
  • Product Development, Engineers, Scientists: Using the framework to spark innovation
  • Association audiences:  More on the power of community
  • Organizations undergoing major change:  More on the impact that each person can have
  • Student audiences: More on realizing their potential
  • Professional services: More on client service and professional growth
  • Financial services: More on client service and business growth
  • Frontline staff: More on improving service quality
  • No matter the sector or audience type, Randall will customize the presentation so that it is relevant
  • 2-4 hour workshop version: Randall will facilitate attendees through a relevant What if-How Might I topic.
  • Leadership Retreat version: Randall uses the methodology during leadership retreats to achieve the retreat’s objective: strategic planning, innovation brainstorm, corporate culture reset, etc.

Note: a portion of all fees from this keynote are donated directly to cancer research.
