Ravi’s Keynotes Get Standing Ovations

Why now? The future requires a growth mindset. Regardless of whether one is or becomes an employee or entrepreneur, building self-confidence and a tolerance for risk is essential. Staying curious, using failures as a pathway to success, pivoting, and always asking oneself questions like "What do I have to lose?" is the difference between being relevant and becoming obsolete.

Why Ravi? Ravi uses his amazing journey to showcase how lifelong learning leads to success. By sharing how he created opportunities out of a challenging childhood, climbed out from the collapse of the music industry in the nineties, pivoted during the economic recession of 2008, and overcame family medical issues that repeatedly challenged his personal and professional ambitions, he motivates you to consistently step out of your comfort zone and turn adversity into opportunity, all while living the words of Gandhi, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Attendees will leave with actionable outcomes that include:
• How to step out of your comfort zone and expand your horizons
• Asking oneself questions like, "What do I have to lose?" and "What did I fail at today?"
• How to develop a "pay it forward," social-entrepreneurship component that attracts support
• Building meaningful networks and creating strategic alliances
• Recognizing that failure is not a lack of success, but the path to success

Why now? Millennials are the largest generation, soon-to-be most influential in global leadership, and will live longer than their predecessors. Anticipating and influencing the positive impact that they will have as leaders is essential for any business, school, or industry planning its future.  Their magic—or "mojo"—is shaping the world!

Why Ravi? Ravi's vantage point is uniquely relevant as a member of "Generation X"—the bridge between Millennials and Baby-Boomers. He takes his audiences on an inspiring personal journey that yields unparalleled insights into generations and cultures, and motivates everyone to take actions that will make the world a better educated and more harmonious place.

In this eye-opening and thought-provoking keynote, discover how much the generations actually have in common and how to use these commonalities as building blocks for collaboration. Ravi depicts an optimistic future based on millennial character traits including their hunger for the arts (the key to teaching empathy), thirst for entrepreneurship (the key to fostering identity), and natural ability to rise above social injustices.

He also challenges participants to consider how artificial intelligence will drive revenue and unemployment, the impact that will have on the disaffection of youth and vulnerability to radicalism, and how society must adapt in order to appropriately navigate this changing landscape.

Ultimately, Ravi empowers Boomers, Xers, and Millennials to successfully collaborate in order to overcome local to global challenges, make education relevant for the future, and bring us closer to world peace.
