Group Managing Director
Our Community
Paul Higgins recent presentation at Mindshop’s annual Australasian / New Zealand advisor conference entitled: ‘Bringing the future into your advisory practice’ was excellent on many fronts. Paul’s ability to simplify the complexity out of the topics he covered and his practical insights on future trends resonated very well with our attendees. Paul also managed to tailor the messages he delivered to our target audience and to the overall conference theme which ensured a strong start to our conference. Thank you again for a great presentation.”
Managing Director
Mindshop
Paul brought a higher level of thought to participants, lifting thinking from the usual annual cycle to challenge us on how we were responding to opportunities that already existed. It brought context to what we see as the important things now. You could see people sit up as they thought about what we do and what we can do. He didn’t provide the answers, but empowered people to begin thinking of the questions our organisation needs to be asking ourselves

The interest that your keynote address created in our co-op was remarkable. All of our members, old and young, innovative and conventional, were all engaged and interested in your talk. I am still hearing really good things from your address weeks later.

It was a great opportunity to have Paul present to the people in our organisation many new ideas and alternative perspectives about how we view the future. Paul left us with much to think about - a great way to challenge our thinking and refashion paradigms when considering our strategic direction.

The attendees were blown away by the presentation and some perhaps even numbed (as expected). However after getting back to their farms it has been playing on their minds and are ‘drones’ are now featuring in their conversations. We have stimulated their thinking, which is exactly what we after. This is excellent feedback as far I am concerned…So again well done and many thanks Paul, you did a great job!
