This is Dr. Dewett’s most popular keynote based on his book Show Your Ink. It’s a supremely colorful take on the importance of authenticity.
Dr. Dewett shares his decades of research and business experience that helped him realize that all good, but not yet great people, teams, and companies, lacked one key ingredient: authenticity.
At its core, authenticity is about being “more.” More real. More honest. More credible. Above all, more human.
Todd takes attendees on an emotional ride as they learn that more is always possible when you are as human as possible. Using stories as his medium, Todd lifts them up, opens their eyes, and ignites their passion for work and life.
