And that's where Tamara Ghandour, an incredible innovation keynote speaker, steps in.

What to expect

Tamara’s innovation keynotes begin before the conference even gets started. Participants prepare by taking the Innovation Quotient Edge (IQE) Assessment, the only tool able to measure people’s natural innovation strengths. The IQE delivers insights and tools that show participants how to perform at their peak and bring innovative ideas to the table. It not only enables, but encourages them to shine as a high value team member.

At the conference, Tamara’s engaging keynotes bring to life the importance of innovation where she shares true-to-life stories and hands-on activities designed to spark the creativity in each participant. She shows you why Innovation is the key driver of competitive advantage, growth and profitability.

As the founder of a thriving business, LaunchStreet – the online education and community platform that helps people innovate and differentiate in an oversaturated world - Tamara knows what it takes to drive growth and innovation in an ever-changing marketplace. She knows that cultivating the capability to create and innovate is essential to any organization’s success.

While innovation and creativity may seem easy for companies like Uber or Dollar Shave Club, during her innovation keynotes, Tamara shares why most companies struggle to create a culture that produces consistent innovation. She then shows how anyone can create a culture that inspires new thinking, customer focus, experimentation, and business growth.

What keynote participants say...

"With the IQE assessment and Tamara's presentation, I've learned more about myself and innovation style in the first 2-hours than I have in most day-long presentations. Her experience has opened my eyes and allowed me to truly understand and leverage my Innovator Archetype. Using the knowledge I have gained, I am sure I will be able to grow and add value in my career. "   - Stephen O’Dorisio, Senior Corporate Auditor, Arrow Electronics

“WOW! You are the best and possibly only imagination mover I have ever had effect me the way you did. I have shared your stories and enthusiasm with pretty much everyone I have come in contact with over the last 2 days.”      – Chamber of Commerce Attendee

“Tamara is one of the best instructors they’ve had!”     – Jennifer Baessler, Adams County Sheriff Department Meeting Planner

"I first saw Tamara speak at a Women’s conference. It was during a time when I was reevaluating my business model and needed to find the exact right change. Tamara’s session helped me get out of my own limiting perspective and approach the situation very differently. It is a long story, but this path ultimately led to me selling my company – allowing my business partner (my mom!) to retire. I knew that my local association could benefit from Tamara’s message, so this year I suggested we bring her out to a tradeshow event. The response was overwhelmingly positive. I am still hearing rave reviews!"  - Lindsey Whitney - Rocky Mountain Regional Promotional Products Association

How to Out-Maneuver the Marketplace and Out-Perform the Competition at Lightning Speed

If you aren’t continually innovating and pivoting, you are on a fast path to irrelevance. To compete in today’s ever-changing, fast-paced landscape, organizations and leaders must learn to create a culture where innovation is the norm and adaptability is the requirement. This is a fast-paced innovation keynote, like the speed today’s business requires.

Key Takeaways:

  • Create a culture of innovation from the inside out, where everyone participates and impacts the bottom line
  • Unlock your greatest resource, the untapped innovative minds of your team
  • Transform your organization into a gym of innovation where growth and measurable results are the norm
  • Overcome the hidden barriers to innovation that are hindering results
  • Benefit from the compounding value of daily innovation for exponential growth

How to Transform Your Organization from Change Agents to Change Artists, and Become Masters of the Marketplace

The biggest myth out there killing organizations is thinking that they need more change agents to combat status quo thinking. You don’t need more disruption. It’s happening already all around you. The marketplace, the competition, and the customer are always changing. Someone is always going to disrupt your work.

Instead what you need to truly win is change artists, people that are able to leverage and harness change to your advantage. People that are able to transform change from an unknown challenge to a known asset. That’s how you stop spinning your wheels and start winning in today’s fast-paced landscape.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand how change agents and other deliberate efforts to disrupt your business are actually hurting your success
  • Transform people into change artists who can leverage the change happening around you
  • Empower your people to be Change Artists by first recognizing how they innovate, their Unique Innovation Profiles
  • Avoid the innovation traps of indifference that are slowing down growth
  • Discover how to break down the barriers to innovation both inside your organization and in the marketplace

Discover How The Innovator’s Mind Is Inside All Of Us

The innovator’s mind is curious, bold and always working. It is also inside all of us. But, not everyone innovates the same way. While innovation has become an organizational mandate and critical job description, we expect innovation to be accomplished somehow in the same institutionalized way. This shuts out 99% of your people. Then we wonder why fresh ideas never get created or, when they do surface, why they are never implemented.

Tamara’s proprietary Innovation Quotient Edge (IQE) assessment engages the nine key triggers of innovation to identify and leverage your untapped potential. The only assessment that can quantify how you innovative, will show you how understanding Unique Innovation Profiles, especially your own IQE, will help your team discover how to work smart and bring more innovative thinking to work and life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Avoid the innovation pitfalls of exclusivity and siloing that kill morale, performance and results for most organizations and within most people
  • Discover your greatest untapped asset – your Innovator Profile – and be yourself, at your best
  • Engage your peak performance, and deliver more innovative thinking to your work and life
  • Discover how being you, at your best, is your competitive advantage
  • Create an environment where everyone on your team has permission to innovate and deliver their best performance.

How to Tap Your Company’s Greatest Asset for Improved Performance, Engagement and Bottom Line Results

Your most important customers aren’t the people that buy your products and services. Rather, they’re the people inside your organization. Top-performing organizations recognize that the bottom lines improve most dramatically when their people are engaged enthusiastically. Yet most organizations settle for luke-warm employees and average productivity.

In today’s highly competitive marketplace, mere job satisfaction isn’t enough to attract or retain top talent or compete in the marketplace. A culture of innovation is the secret ingredient for enthusiastically engaged employees who work with passion every day.

Key Takeaways:

  • Drive innovation from the inside out for increased buy-in and implementation
  • Empower and engage everyone by leveraging the IQEs – Unique Innovator Profiles of your people and the interplay of those profiles among your team.
  • Discover the biggest mistakes most organizations in employee engagement, and how to avoid them
  • Decode the blueprint to a culture of innovation where people and ideas thrive and mediocre monkeys are minimized
  • Guide your team members from mere satisfaction to enthusiastic engagement, buzzing with energy daily
