Dr. Beau Lotto on the Solution to Uncertainty

Beau Lotto’s Speech Topics

  • The Power of Doubt: Perceive – Adapt – Thrive

    How can we adapt and thrive in times when the ground beneath us is shifting? We begin by questioning the beliefs and assumptions that drive every single one of our actions, decisions, and behaviors. The idea is to find solutions to questions that haven’t been asked yet. Learning to maintain a healthy dose of doubt about what we perceive – keeping our assumptions in check – is crucial. In this completely original, game-changing presentation, neuroscientist Dr. Beau Lotto, known worldwide for his groundbreaking work on the subject, uses hard science to open minds and help audiences see the world and themselves differently. His engaging use of images and videos will have people shaking their heads in disbelief – unable to reconcile what they’re seeing with what they thought to be true. Beau’s stunning, interactive, fun presentation will equip people to challenge their own assumptions and beliefs and come away better able to innovate, collaborate, lead, and adapt to new realities. This presentation is an ideal conference kick-off – providing a powerful, positive, creative context that sets a tone for the content and collaboration that follow.

  • Perception & Leadership — A Masterclass

    In a more intimate format designed for leadership teams, departments, and smaller groups, Dr. Beau Lotto shows leaders how to create a framework to lead others into uncertainty. Anything interesting begins with doubt — with not knowing. Learn to celebrate that uncertainty, ask questions, search, and discover — the foundation of all progress and breakthroughs. Science can teach participants how to lead better and create an environment that fosters creativity and innovation by understanding the role of perception in every aspect of their lives. Beau provides the group dozens of new ways to think differently about their challenges and successfully innovate, adapt, and build effective teams.

  • How Brands Connect with Customers

    A brand that delights its audience while creating insight into an essential human value is more creative, has more loyal customers, and generates lasting, authentic impact in the world. Dr. Beau Lotto’s presentation is based on work that his neuro-design studio Lab of Misfits has been doing for years, with the most creative brands in the world (such as Cirque du Soleil), which is helping brands deepen their authenticity by enabling and measuring the impact of their purpose in the world. Beau will explain how to unpack the keys to creating customized, immersive brand experiences that will evolve your brand to build genuine and long-lasting relationships with your key audiences.

  • Beau Lotto on Education

    The world is changing faster than ever. As a result, young people are facing serious emotional, physical, social, cognitive, and global challenges. What is the one thing they will need to succeed in an increasingly uncertain world? It’s not just to evolve but become evolvable; They don’t just tolerate change, they need to be able to thrive because of it. Our current education system does not teach children these skills or ways of being that will make them thrive in a future world that doesn’t yet exist. Dr. Beau Lotto has been working with leaders and teachers from primary school to university to help them create educational cultures based on the inherent skills and ways of being that the brain uses to change and adapt to the unknown. His Professional Development training programs have engaged teachers from all over the world, and his science educational program has engaged thousands of young people from 6 years old to Ph.D. students. The result has been the youngest published scientist in the world and the youngest ever Mainstage TED speaker. Bringing together his expertise in Neuroscience and Complex Adaptive Systems with his decades of work in education, Beau will describe an educational culture that is understandable and immediately actionable, which transforms the personal and professional lives of educationalists, the young people they lead, and their educational institutions in which they teach them.

Beau Lotto’s opening keynote presentation at the 2022 CANARIE Summit had the same effect as filling the room with super-oxygenated air — it energized and engaged every single person in that room and created the perfect context for our guests to learn and unlearn in meaningful ways. Beau’s combination of scientific expertise, understanding of the power of cultural touchstones, thought-provoking (in the truest sense) messages, tremendous energy, and personal warmth combined to create a keynote presentation that seeded ongoing conversations for days afterwards.

What other organizations say about Beau Lotto

A perfect, positive start to the day. I have chaired conferences for over 20 years and this is undoubtedly one of the best keynotes I have ever seen. Beau began the second day of our conference ? when people may be low on energy ? and within moments over 800 people were engaged. By the end of the talk they were also informed, challenged, and inspired. Beau provided the hope that change is possible, along with a road map to making it happen. Our delegates left the plenary session feeling positive and primed for the rest of the day. Very few experts can also speak, entertain and inspire. Beau does.
