KEYNOTE OVERVIEW
Strategic Luck
It’s not who you know.
IT’S HOW YOU SAY HELLO.
Why are some leaders more lucky than others?
Jonathan Brill is here to debunk this myth that luck is fate. More importantly, he’ll show you the four simple skills you need to create strategic luck from scratch — in any situation.
Based on the largest study on decision-making under uncertainty, these are the four missing pieces that separate the exceptional from the average. Luck, it turns out, isn’t chance. It’s a choice. Are you ready to enhance yours?
Keynote Description
Luck isn’t chance.
It’s a science-based skill that you can enhance today.
Most people think luck is a coincidence, a twist of fate, or a gift that some are simply born with.
Most people are wrong.
Instead, luck is a science-based skill that your audience can get dramatically better at it — in less than an hour.
As an international best-selling author, scholar on decision-making, and principal investigator of the largest study on luck, Jonathan Brill persuasively argues that luck isn’t an option; it’s perhaps the most impactful factor of success. It’s strategic in your business and in your life.
Merging an impactful blend of heart-felt personal experiences and hard data, this keynote experience takes audiences on a journey through the four science-based methods that transform uncertainty into opportunity in nearly everything you do. By the end of your time together, Jonathan Brill will show you how to find rainbows, dodge riptides, survive meteors, and make gold, one lucky move at a time.

Luck isn't chance.
It's a choice.
