Disrupt yourself: Riverhike

by | Sep 18, 2019 | ,

Sometimes you have to Disrupt Yourself. Last summer a couple of diehards and myself did a river hike, Business Class. In the river Do Mondego in Portugal, five km ice-cold water. It was all about mindset. Was great!. #riverhike #mindset #disruptyourself #disruptionland #tomlightning #keynotespeaker #keynote #catapultman

Disruption Ahead Sign

by | Nov 6, 2019 | ,

This is a great reminder! The biggest fear after a great convention is the next day, business as usual. Not after the Speech of Tom Lightning. You can place these signs at the entrance, in the hall, and in the office. And, they are also available in a desk version > Disruption in Progress.

Disrupt yourself. How?

by | Oct 6, 2019 | ,

In my keynote speech, welcome to disruptionland, I talk about how to disrupt yourself.  Because company’s do not disrupt, people do. How do you do that?

I filmed this in my backyard, and it is a living metaphor for what I mean by disrupting yourself.

You might be in a creative process, and you are stuck. It feels like somebody is drawing a line, and you can not go across that line.

You feel like this Caterpillar. Have a look.

He could easily walk over that line, but something is holding him back. So you have to find another way out. Let’s say we draw it on paper; we disrupt the circle with an exit. Complete with an arrow.

Let’s see what happens next.

So if you are stuck, ask better questions, keep asking, dig deeper and find your way out.  Good luck.

 If the Caterpillar can do it, you can do it.
