Sometimes it just requires eloquently raising the issue, getting peoples’ attention, focusing their thinking, planting some new ideas and perspectives, and energizing a collaborative spirit. Hank Rubin is a visionary public speaker for small meetings and large assemblies. One of the nation’s leading thinkers and practitioners of collaborative leadership, his approach is from the head and heart … with hands-on experience at all of collaboration’s levels.
"Excellent! Encore!" "Very articulate; good visual images . . ." "Thank you!" ". . . a heated, passionate, emotionally charged issue and the awesome thing is it generated communication and audience participation. Wonderful . . ." "Best session so far." Evaluation comments from participants who have heard Dr. Rubin speak.
The chance to engage a smaller group in highly interactive give-and-take on their collaborative interests is a favorite format.
And he’s been doing this for awhile: " . . . how to recognize and develop collaborative skills, develop a shared vision, build community partnerships, and pool agendas ... Rubin wrote the book on this stuff."
