Instructions for Irrationality

Presentation content:

  • Why true geniuses often remain undiscovered
  • How to successfully communicate your brilliant ideas
  • Why modern communication is based on the idea of a funeral director
  • How much fun and success comes from being unreasonable

In his dissertation on radical change, Dr. Stephan Meyer demonstrates that often only a fundamental shift in thinking, a change in mindset, leads to innovation. In his lecture "A Guide to Irrationality," he shows what distinguishes people who drive innovation from those who stagnate. What are futurists not afraid to do? Innovative thinkers have the mindset and the courage to be irrational and break existing rules! But how does one acquire this irrational mindset of the rule-breakers and rebels who make our society better? And how do new ideas emerge from it?

The fundamental prerequisite for innovative thinking, living, and working is interest in and enthusiasm for the future. In his humorous presentation, Dr. Meyer therefore awakens his audience's desire for the future and, through five clear, innovative theses, humorously introduces them to "unreasonable thinking."

Let's say you have a secure job, a good income, and promising career prospects. But your job is just your job, not your calling. Would you give up all that security and jump into a bold, unconventional life if the opportunity arose?

Dr. Stephan Meyer did exactly that: After graduating, he left an international management consultancy to join a small bank, where he built a new business unit. It was a remarkable story, until the project was liquidated due to a change in management. Nevertheless, Stephan Meyer is proud of having been reckless. Because the career change led him to self-employment, a successful career as a management consultant and keynote speaker, and ultimately, his doctorate.

The psychologist and futurist often faced fierce opposition, but in the end, his seemingly irrational approach proved correct. Join Dr. Stephan Meyer in his presentation "A Guide to Irrationality" as he takes you into the world of innovators, explore the mindset of the most forward-thinking individuals of recent decades, and discover your own innovative spirit along the way. In short: Learn how to create innovations and, incidentally, make the world a better place in this inspiring presentation by keynote speaker Dr. Stephan Meyer!
