Jungle Survival Skills: Adapting to Change During Uncertain Times

In many industries, the rapid rate of change employees are facing during the global pandemic can leave people feeling as though they are lost in the wilderness. Something Yossi Ghinsberg has experienced firsthand. After a tragic separation from his friends, Yossi was lost alone for weeks in the heart of the Amazon with no food or defenses, in the midst of one of the worst rainy season for decades. Yossi translates his own lessons of survival – where every single moment left him at the mercy of the jungle, and his ability to adapt fast to the changing circumstances literally meant the difference between life and death – into effective strategies for those experiencing change in the work environment.

This keynote presentation is based on the international bestseller Jungle, now also a documentary produced by the Discovery Channel and a feature film directed by Greg McLean and starring Daniel Radcliffe. From this unique presentation audiences will…

Feel empowered to adapt to their circumstances. They learn that we are co-creators of our own realities, in life and in business
Explore how adversity is part of life; being a victim is a matter of choice and following our business survival instincts will often lead to success
Learn how facing our fears and looking for innovative ways to embrace change, can lead us towards our desired outcomes

Audience reviews:

From the moment we made contact, we were impressed by his energy, creativity, and commitment to our objectives. He worked closely with the team developing the content for the meeting and tailored his message to fit perfectly with our corporate objectives. He is a phenomenal storyteller. His experience and his ability to enthrall an audience is unparalleled. During his talk, you could hear a pin drop – the audience was hanging on his every word. He talks from the heart and does not present a pre-packaged or canned message. He told his own story, but included so many life and professional lessons that our team was talking about the speech for days during and after the event.
