The Art of Innovation

The Art of Innovation explains how to create innovative services and products using tactical and practical techniques. Guy uses examples from ice making to telephony to digital photography to expose the truths of innovation. Key principles include: jumping to the next curve, breaking down the barriers, and thinking digitally and acting analogically.
The Art of Enchantment

The speech explains how organizations and individuals can change people’s hearts, minds, and actions. Enchantment was a New York Times bestseller.
The Art of the Start

The speech about how to create a new company. It reflects the knowledge Guy has gained from Apple, starting multiple companies, working as a venture capitalist, and advising dozens of companies. His book by the same name is the de facto standard for books about entrepreneurship.
The Art of Social Media

Guy demystifies social media in this speech and makes social media a useful and powerful marketing tool. Many people believe that Guy’s book by the same name is the best book ever written about social media.

What other organizations say about Guy Kawasaki

Guy Kawasaki has the most irrepressible and delightful voice in Silicon Valley! His insights on start-up culture come from years of experience and adventure. Among his many books, The Art of the Start 2.0 stands out as the ultimate entrepreneurship handbook. In a sea of competition, I’ve found it to be the most useful book on start-up culture: clear, practical, to the point. It’s a must read for my Stanford students.

What other organizations say about Guy Kawasaki

In November 2016, we were thrilled to welcome Guy as the keynote speaker to our first annual NextCon, a business conference in Scottsdale with over 2,000 attendees. This conference was incredibly important to our company, our clients and our community and we could not have chosen a better speaker to kick things off. The ballroom was packed during Guy’s speech and no one moved for the entire hour he was on stage. Everyone was taking notes, laughing at his jokes and enthusiastically gave him a standing ovation when he finished. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me, following his talk, to compliment Guy on his performance. I strongly recommend any company consider Guy as a keynote speaker. He will not disappoint.
