Kailash Satyarthi: Nobel Prize Winner and Inspiring Keynote Speaker on Child Rights and Education

Kailash Satyarthi: Nobel Prize Winner and Inspiring Keynote Speaker on Child Rights and Education

While childhood is often seen as a joyful time, not all children are able to experience happiness due to the demands of work at an early age. This problem is not limited to any one location but affects children globally. Kailash Satyarthi is a man who has dedicated himself to addressing and raising awareness about this issue. He has received numerous accolades, including the Nobel Peace Prize, for defending children's rights. As a speaker, he is known for his passion and enthusiasm for his cause. If you are planning a meeting, consider inviting Kailash Satyarthi to speak and share his insights on this important topic.

 

Kailash's young years

Kailash Satyarthi grew up in a high-caste Indian family and was exposed to child labor at a young age. He was confused as to why his peers were working while he was in school, and couldn't accept it. As a result, he took action by collecting used books for poor children and rescuing a 14-year-old girl who was in danger of being sold to a brothel. As an adult, Kailash founded the organization Bachpan Bachao Andolan, which fights for children's rights, including access to education and an end to slave labor.

 

Special recognition - Nobel Peace Prize

In 2014, Kailash Satyarthi and 15-year-old Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their work in promoting the rights of children and youth and their right to education.  In his acceptance speech, Satyarthi said: "We would like universities to become strong champions for this cause." "My mission in life is that every child on earth should be free; free to go to school, free to laugh, free to play. When every child is free to be a child, only then will my dream come true."

Satyarthi has a talent for sharing his commitment to children's issues and rights with the world, as demonstrated in his rousing speech calling for hope and globalizing compassion.

The importance of geopolitics and diplomacy. Top 6 most requested keynote speakers.

We are constantly seeing an increase in the interdependence of countries, companies, and people on a global scale. Today, globalization is particularly rapid and intense. This creates many potential advantages, but it also comes with many risks. Given the current state of world events, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the topic of geopolitics and diplomacy has become even more relevant. 

Geopolitics is an interdisciplinary science that studies the relationship between the influence of geographical and historical factors on the formation and functioning of states. Of course, geopolitics would not exist without diplomacy, which involves making trade agreements and gaining military support for the country being represented - in a peaceful manner.

Explore the world of the metaverse with the best keynote speakers

Nowadays, no one is surprised when more and more aspects of our lives are shifting to the digital. It's where we do our shopping, where we look for entertainment, and where socializing increasingly takes place. So it's only natural that we keep looking for more and more immersive experiences. The next step is the metaverse.  

The term "metaverse" was first used almost 30 years ago by Neal Stephenson in his science fiction novel, Snow Crash. With it, the author described a virtual reality in which people lead second lives. 

When Mark Zuckerberg announced ambitious plans to build the 'metaverse' — a virtual reality construct intended to supplant the internet, merge virtual life with real-life and create endless new playgrounds for everyone — he promised that "you're going to be able to do almost anything you can imagine."

The Metaverse is a 3D world that you can explore as an avatar. In this magical world, the lines between reality and the digital world become blurred. Not surprisingly, objects and experiences in the metaverse can be worth as much or more than those we know in real life.

The importance of event marketing

You probably already know that the core of marketing is communication. It's the ability to convey the right message at the right time and most importantly - to the right people. This is certainly one of the biggest challenges facing companies nowadays. If you are a business owner and you like to be up to date you've definitely heard the term event marketing before.

 

Event marketing covers the organization of events for specific groups. Events are both one-off and cyclically organized events. Event marketing activities can take a variety of forms - from shows to festivals and exhibitions. The organization of events can therefore be used to promote, build image or shape public opinion. It is also extremely attractive as a form of communication between the brand and the environment.

If we wanted to define event marketing, we would say that it is a promotional tool consisting in organizing various types of events, group or mass, serving the organization's goals towards the external and internal environment: customers, decision-makers, contractors, opinion leaders and employees.

It is worth remembering that event marketing is a reflection of how the company is managed. It can show its potential and attractiveness but also show its weaknesses.

 

Why Event Marketing is important?

 

Event marketing is still growing as one of the most important marketing strategies for today’s big companies. According to Forrester Research, events make up for 24% of the B2B marketing budget. By 2020, 3.2M global professional events will be taking place on an annual basis. Companies are believing in the power of live events and this trend will only continue to grow in the upcoming years.

Event marketing is certainly a multi-level tool, and the possibilities of its use in business operations is very wide. This is the only tool with such a big advantage over other marketing activities that can be used so widely and directed to external customers as well as internally to employees, business partners or suppliers.

Advantages of Event Marketing

 

Brand awareness and image improvement

This is one of the first things that comes to our mind when we talk about event marketing. Many brands use most known and available marketing tools to create buzz around them and that’s why event marketing is extremely helpful to break through this noise. If you organize an engaging event related to your brand, you will certainly arouse more curiosity than hand tailored communication about a new product or service. Especially since more and more people are tired of the traditional marketing message and have learned to dissociate from it.

Organization of the event is also a great opportunity to smuggle some of the brand value among sales-oriented content. Make sure your speakers mention that the company cares about the environment and strives to reduce plastic consumption every year. Of course, focus on values ​​that are important to you and that you truly respect.

 

Target specific customers

In case you have a specific audience that you want to reach then organizing an events is one of the best way to do so. Find out groups that have similar interests as yours and get their attention!

 

Sales increase

Events and experiences work very powerfully to drive sales – and significantly improve how consumers feel about and perceive brands! According to EventTrack 2018, 85% of consumers are more willing to purchase a brand’s product  after participating in their events and 91%  of them have more positive feelings about brands. What’s more, consumers say that brand website and brands organized events are the top advertising channels that help them understand the benefits of product or service.

 

Feedback from clients

Don’t forget to ask participants after the event to complete a short survey via social media, email or on a dedicated landing page. This way you may find out more about your customers and how to reach them! It’s also a great tool to find out what can be improved for your next event.

 

event marketing feedback

 

Advantages of company event for your employees

Keep your employee engaged in order to improve company culture! It is said that committed employees attached to the company are 87% less likely to leave it. A well organized event will perfectly highlight the company's mission, show that the company's culture is creative, collaborative and supportive. You will not only strengthen the morale of current employees, it can also play a significant role in recruiting new employees.

Take the opportunity to appreciate the most distinguished employees. They will feel appreciated and important and surely they will return to the office with new motivation and productivity. Celebrating success builds the business culture! Don't forget to invite your biggest clients to your event - let them see your business from the best perspective.

In addition to the advantages mentioned above, we would also mention team building, stress reduction, and motivation increase among employees.

 

Power of Event Marketing

 

“The speech will last 45 minutes but the audience will talk about it for months”.

Lucas Gielner

CEO of Global Speakers Bureau

 

Perception of event marketing only as a business of organizing promotional events is a kind of simplification. In fact, this form of promotion is a complex tool through which companies want to achieve their goals and market assumptions.

This is not only due to the fact that events are a good way to pass information on the topic of the offered products, but also because they help create a certain aura, values ​​or associations with a given brand. In the long-term perspective even one-day event helps to create a lasting and consistent image of the company. If the event is well developed, people will talk about it for days and even years! People unrelated to your company who talk about your product or service are simply the best and most credible recommendation for your potential customers!

Leadership speakers Silvia Damiano & Juan Carlos Cubeiro

Leadership speakers of the month: Silvia Damiano & Juan Carlos Cubeiro

We are back with our #SpeakerOfTheMonth series! We decided that this month's theme will be leadership which is an extremely complex concept. And that’s why we will introduce you to not just one, but two leadership speakers who are experts in this field.

 

“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.”

- Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

Although you have to treat these words at a bit of a distance, they can surely be helpful in understanding what leadership is. It may refer to the actions of a political leader who wants to achieve a goal or to a person running his own company who is developing a strategy that will help him beat the competition. Leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal.

Silvia Damiano

Everyone who is interested in  leadership should already know the greatest leadership activist Silvia Damiano! She is a scientist, educator, author of bestselling books, coach, award-winning leadership specialist,  filmmaker and also a great speaker! If you haven't seen her TEDx talk “Leadership is upside down” (which is also a title of her amazing book), you'd better catch up quickly.  Thanks to her scientific background and curiosity about the human brain she decided to devote to research on optimal brain function and neuroscience in leadership.

 

“Imagining the future starts in your brain, having the courage to implement what you imagine resides in your gut, making it happen is only possible with the passion of your heart.”

- Silvia Damiano

 

Silvia strongly believes that leaders in 21st century global economy and their organisations must radically change long-held ideas of what constitutes effective leadership. That’s why she founded About My Brain Institute in 2009 which focuses on democratizing leadership & neuroscience.

 

Juan Carlos Cubeiro

Have  you ever heard of ManpowerGroup? It’s world’s leading talent solutions company with nearly 14,000 client companies in Spain, which helps generate more than 12 million jobs in 82 countries a year. Let us introduce you to its Head of Talent - the one and only Juan Carlos Cubeiro!

 

 

He not only headed strategic consulting projects in Leadership, Executive Coaching and Career Management for more than 1,000 companies (in 33 years)  but also published 49 (so far!) books focused on leadership and management. If his achievements were not intimidating enough for you, let us tell you that he has a successful twenty-year long academic career behind him.

 

"A good part of the vision process does not take place thanks to the eyes. The eyes act as hands that extend "outward" and capture meaningless "things", transmitting them to the brain. Then deliver the "things" to memory. We see something only when the brain interprets it in terms of comparative action."

"La sensación de fluidez” (“The Fluency Sensation”) Juan Carlos Cubeiro

 

Cubeiro is also  a well known international leadership speaker. He had lectures in Johannesburg, Paris, London, Brussels, Berlin, Rome or Tel Aviv as well as Buenos Aires and many, many more. If all this was not enough, he always finds time to read one book a day!
