Bruce Haddon

Bruce Haddon presents with rare authenticity the secrets of highly creative people and the keys to innovation and generating better ideas.
Creator of the Caltex brand Starmart seen in 13 countries Bruce's highly revealing insights into the world of ideas have helped senior managers in 8 countries create sustainable advantage by expanding their corporate imagination.

Doctor Robert Hunt of Macquarie University describes Bruce as "possessing a unique grasp of the subject of human imagination and rare insight into the process of inventiveness".
Bruce was runner up in Ovations 'Presenter of the Year' award based on customer nominations. 

In 2008 Bruce became only the third Australian to speak at the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table Experience in Chiba Japan to a live audience of 7,000 financial advisers drawn from 30 countries. As you would expect, he received a standing Ovation.

Once you hear Bruce Haddon speak, you never forget the experience.

Keynote topics include:

DOUBLE INTELLIGENCE  - Speed thinking for quicker better ideas
Notice how great ideas come in a flash while ordinary ideas take far longer? The imagination is quicker than logical thought. Combine the two thinking styles and you have double the intelligence for problem solving, original thinking and new mental tools to out-innovate the opposition.

THINKING AHEAD - New mental tools for learning from the future
An intelligently imagined view of the future has a better chance of being right than the present does of staying the same. Why learn from the past when times of rapid change ensure history cannot repeat itself?  Originally commissioned by BT Australia for their elite ''High Potential Leaders'' program this new set of mental tools captures the attributes of people others follow and who naturally inspire those around them to think faster and beyond their previous best.

BUSINESS IMAGINATION - Competitive advantage through smarter innovation
Times of rapid change demand better new ideas sooner. Consumers punish brands that fail to provide them. Yet innovation usually happens in small steps. Opportunities abound for companies who train their teams to spot and develop new ideas in products, processes, people and perceptions.

CHANGING MINDS - Winning others to your point of view
Developed for the global Million Dollar Round Table financial adviser conference this new skill set allows business development professionals to regain the ability to motivate clients without resorting to old fashioned and ineffective traditional selling methods. The initial presentation of these new skills for being influential produced a standing ovation at the 7,000 delegate MDRT conference in China Japan in April 2008 and the comment by former MDRT President Phil Harriman that "This is a message that should be heard all around the world".

 

Client Ovations: Bruce was a pleasure to deal with, his willingness to meet our needs was exceptional. The partners were enthralled, and the delegates found points to take away. ,

Thankyou for your kind words and your excellent performance on the weekend. In the 8 years or so that I have been involved with JPE we have had good speakers and bad alike but I would have to say that in my opinion you were the best that I have seen. ,As a group we rely a great deal on our current events to promote future events and the most important event of ours for the year in regards to promoting our organisation is our conference. With your help this one has been very successful and we are already receiving an influx of responses from people pumped up about JPE for our Sales Breakfast in a few weeks time.

The audience really enjoyed Bruce's session, especially as an opening for our conference. Bruce was able to get everyone thinking and out of the work routine. General feedback from the team was that he was well worth having at our team offsite.
