How do you protect your business (and your mind) in a world of exponential risk? This power-packed session brings together Keith Cunningham, Chris Voss, Verne Harnish, Jay Abraham, and Marc Goodman to reveal the hidden strategies for surviving crises, mastering negotiation, and scaling without imploding.
You’ll hear Keith Cunningham explain why "upside" thinking is dangerous and how to conduct a "pre-mortem" to save your business before it starts. You'll also discover Chris Voss’s counter-intuitive negotiation secret (hint: stop aiming for "Yes"), Verne Harnish’s "One-Page Strategic Plan" used by 40,000 companies, and Marc Goodman’s chilling yet vital insights on the future of cybercrime and how to protect yourself in an increasingly hackable world.
If you are an entrepreneur looking to safeguard your wealth, scale your impact, and navigate high-stakes negotiations with confidence, this video provides the playbook you need to thrive in uncertain times.
Key Takeaways:
• The 3 Flavors of Risk: Probability, Cost, and Controllability
• Why "Yes" is a Useless Word: How to use "No" to get real commitment
• The Pre-Mortem Technique: How to predict and prevent disaster before it happens
• The "Constraint" Theory: How to find the one bottleneck holding your business back
• 5 Ways to Get Paid in a Crisis: Jay Abraham’s guide to mental arbitrage
• Why Startups are Overrated: The case for scaling up (and why it matters more)
