Keynotes

'It is not the strongest of the species that survives or the most intelligent, but the one most adaptable to change.'
Charles Darwin

A master storyteller, Yossi?s keynote on change is not a lecture but rather a journey - taking audiences far away from their every day reality and giving them a different perspective on what change really is and how to use it.

The famous adage says: ?change is the only constant?. Indeed it is impermanence that is the essence of our existence in a world that is always in flux. As inherent and inevitable as change is, it is perceived by many individuals and organizations as a problem.

Accepting change as a natural phenomenon is the basis of sanity, knowing how to flow with the change is the greatest of virtues. This is the most basic and relevant wisdom that can help us better manage our work and our lives.

Yossi explains how surrendering to the power of change doesn't mean one is helpless or powerless. On the contrary, change always represents opportunity for growth.

Individuals and organizations will always be faced with change. Yossi?s insights can help everyone see change in a positive way ? not as an obstacle to be overcome, but an opportunity to be grasped.

The Laws Of The Jungle

Jaguars Don’t Need Self-help Books

The only specie that separates and alienates itself from nature is our own. Isolated in that seclusion we either try to dominate nature or protect ourselves from it.

Yossi asks his audience to expand their horizon and see ’the big picture’. Our life has become ’life in a box’ and we've forgotten that it is our birth right to be and feel part of our planet and the entire universe we live in.

The Power To Survive

“Adversity is part of life; being a victim is a matter of choice.”

Yossi Ghinsberg’s amazing true story of survival is a timeless metaphor for how to face up to the challenges and uncertainties of every day life. After being separated from his friends, Yossi wandered lost and alone for three weeks in the heart of the Amazon. He managed somehow to survive, even with no food or weapons and during what was the worst rainy season in decades, until he was miraculously saved. Through this amazing experience, he arrived at a new level of understanding of life and himself, and he shares those hard-won insights with his audiences.

Yossi takes his audiences on this journey with him, telling the story of how he came to be in the Amazon jungle, setting out on what he believed would be an adventure with his friends. What happens to him and his companions is an unforgettable story of loss, perseverance, despair, and redemption.

Yossi’s message is always timely and always appropriate - for any group, anywhere. He speaks to what it means to be human, and shows us how we all possess the power to survive, even in the most extreme situations. His message is inspiring and hopeful, and he leaves his audiences uplifted and empowered.

This keynote presentation is based on Yossi's international bestseller Jungle, now also a documentary by the acclaimed producers of 'Touching the Void' and the Discovery Channel.
