David Nour – Connecting the Dots Speaking Topics |
Return on Impact™
How Will You Lead Differently? |
|
Based on the newly released book, Return on Impact – Leadership Strategies for the Age of Connected Relationships (ASAE, 2012) demonstrates how social media has helped swung the power pendulum to members and customers while many industries and organizations continue to get disintermediated. Return on Impact isn’t about Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. It’s about socially-enabling the organization to listen louder and think faster, so it can respond in real-time to changing market dynamics. And in the process, adapt new revenue models, reinvent itself and grow – its top line, top talent, and top relationships.
“David Nour was a keynote speaker on Relationship Economics at our annual Sales Conference and he left my team wanting more; Return on Impact is just what his audiences have been asking for - how social is impacting every employee, customer, organization and leader to think differently. I can’t think of a more relevant thought leader to deliver this content.”
– Pete Peterson, SVP, US Sales – Tech Data Corporation

Relationship Economics®
The Art and Science of Relationships |
|
2011-2012 cornerstone keynote based on the best-selling book, Relationship Economics Updated & Revised (Wiley, 2011), delivered to more than 50 corporate, association, and academic forums. Content focused on the quantifiable value of business relationships and a systematic process to identify, build, nurture and leverage personal, functional and strategic relationships. Of particular value to most audiences are battle-tested best practices in bridging relationship creation with relationship capitalization.
“Having heard David Nour speak several times, I’ve found him to be insightful, pragmatic, and poignant in simplifying the complex, and bringing thought leadership to his focus on strategic relationships.”
– John Graham IV, FASAE, CAE, President & CEO – ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership

Adaptive Innovation™
Adaptable Business Models for Changing Market Demands |
|
How do you create greater market value than your competitors? How do you help your channel partners differentiate your products or services? Simple – disrupt your value chain! Adaptive innovation, by definition, is destructive in its character, open to a broad base of business models, and must be driven by high performing teams. Teams who are focused on maximizing the current and future capabilities of their respective organizations. In order to create sustainable competitive advantage, companies must develop a relationship-centric culture with the courage to fail and learn from those failures.
“David Nour spoke to our leadership and board and without question, they chose to think and lead differently than our industry counterparts shortly after his session.”
– Barbara Springer, General Counsel & Vice President Administration – Delta Dental of Colorado

ConnectAbility™
Keys to Building Strong Partnerships with Your Colleagues and Your Customers |
|
Driven by the ConnectAbility book (McGraw-Hill) focuses on a systematic approach for developing superior partnerships (manufacturer /distributor, wholesaler/reseller) by applying powerful lessons learned from emotional awareness, personal authenticity, humor, and servant leadership. Key topics such as how to focus on influencing more than one persuades, awareness and performance factors, what effective teams and leaders know about honesty, the impact of emotions in decision making and creating your own luck are discussed.
“David Nour’s energy, enthusiasm and insights on the business relationships are contagious. You can’t help but to want to reinvent your business after an hour with this guy.”
– Adam Sherer, Vice President – Marriott ExecuStay

Inner Circle™
Who Are You Listening To? |
|
|
What do global CEOs do when they’re asked to step up and lead? They ponder who’s on their inner circle and what they should they focus on! Whether in crisis or not, they count on a very select few of advisors who not only understand their top challenges but bring the battle-tested skills, personal traits, and the discipline to balance strategic thinking with tactical execution. This keynote is focused on how do you get in that inner circle, what to do while you’re there, and how to create market pull inside the world’s most elusive club! |
Flight Risk™
Why Most High Potentials Leave! |
|
|
