The Blah-Blah-Blah Talk: What To Do When Words Dont Work Dan Roam, Author and Founder & President, Digital Roam Inc.
The Problem: We talk so much that we dont think very well. Powerful as words are, we fool ourselves when we think our words alone can detect, describe, and defuse the multifaceted problems of today. They cant and thats bad, because words have become our default thinking tool. The Solution: Roams highly-interactive (and highly-entertaining) presentation offers a way out of blah-blah-blah. Its called Vivid Thinking and it works for anyone. He shows how this simple technique combines our verbal and visual minds so that we can think and learn quicker, teach, sell, and inspire more effectively, and get stuff done in a whole new way. Roam is the founder and president of Digital Roam Inc., a management-consulting firm that uses visual thinking to solve complex problems for such clients as Google, Boeing, eBay, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, Wells Fargo, the U.S. Navy, and the United States Senate. He is also the author of Blah-Blah-Blah and the international bestseller The Back of the Napkin, the most popular visual-thinking business book of all time. Fast Company, Businessweek, and The Times of London all named The Back of the Napkin the #1 creativity and innovation book of the year.
