Five Things Stop Pioneers. Which One Is Stopping You?
What is the one thing driving you crazy right now? A broken process? A problem everyone complains about but nobody fixes? A better way everyone keeps dismissing?
What if that frustration is the most useful thing you have?
Lynn Miller, author of *Ahead of Their Time: Pioneers Who Seized Tomorrow, Today*, spent more than 200 hours interviewing people who refused to look the other way. She found that the same five things stop every would-be pioneer, and that getting unstuck has nothing to do with being exceptional or fearless. They were simply tired of pretending broken things were fine.
In this talk, Lynn walks your audience through all five. As she does, one of them starts to pull at each person in the room. That one is where they are stuck. By the end of the hour, they know which one, and what to do about it.
Takeaways
-
Your frustration is intelligence, not negativity.** Your audience leaves with a completely different way of seeing what has been bothering them. It becomes a signal worth following instead of a problem to manage.
-
They will know which of the five is stopping them.** Most talks end with a general feeling. This one ends with a personal diagnosis. Every person identifies their own sticking point, by name, before they leave the room.
-
They will walk out with their next move.** Not someday. Now. Lynn closes with a free five-minute assessment that pinpoints each person's step and shows them exactly what to do first.
About Lynn
Author and Speaker
Lynn Miller spent more than 200 hours interviewing pioneers and thought leaders who heard "that's impractical" or "the market isn't ready." Then everyone else caught up.
From those conversations came "Ahead of Their Time: Pioneers Who Seized Tomorrow, Today" and a framework that helps innovators use their foresight rather than apologize for it.
Take the Framework Home
Every attendee receives a copy of *Ahead of Their Time: Pioneers Who Seized Tomorrow, Today*, complete with the stories, the five-step framework, and the tools they will use long after the talk.
They also leave with the free assessment that shows each person which of the five things is stopping them, so the shift in the room becomes a specific next step instead of a feeling that fades by Thursday.
