Topics: Business Building, Career, Creativity, Sexual Harassment Do you believe that you can be happier, wealthier and more productive than you are now? If your answer is “Yes,” then Blair Tindall’s story will inspire you to change your life. An author, musician, journalist and multifaceted performer, her dynamic talk outlines clear steps to finding your mission and purpose in life. A guest expert on CNN and Fox News, and a speaker at prestigious Harvard and Stanford universities, she helps listeners discover the talents, interests and aptitudes that make them truly unique and shows how to apply these traits to virtually any career. Tindall's lively presentations combine images, music, and goal-setting techniques that guide listeners to clarify the career and lifestyle they truly want – and she punctuates her points with live performances on her oboe. With 25 years as a musician, performing at Carnegie Hall, on motion picture soundtracks, and at New York's famed Blue Note jazz club, Tindall has devoted her life to excellence. With the same zeal she puts into her music, she launched a second career writing for publications like The New York Times, worked as a staff business reporter for The San Francisco Examiner, and published her internationally acclaimed book on the performing arts, Mozart in the Jungle. Her dynamic presentations leave audiences energized and motivated to find their own true life path, and give them a tool kit of tips for dealing with challenges along the way. Talks include: It's a Jungle Out There: The 5 Keys to Engineering Your Creative Life In today's market, fields like technology, design, arts performance and production, and engineering can unlock satisfying careers. But the key to success lies not only in honing specific skills, but in a broader education that allows understanding and communication with the diverse consumers who will be your customers – whether your goal is IT or classical ballet. Nurturing Your Child’s Potential Parents and teachers dream of seeing children grow into the Yo-Yo Ma, Steve Jobs, Stephen Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, or Magic Johnson. Some scientists believe creativity and talent are often discouraged at an early age, leading to the frustration many adults in corporate life feel of being a “square peg in a round hole.” In this keynote, learn how to identify and nurture the child’s inner genius – encouraging them to dream big while shaping a balanced life of creativity and earning potential. It's All Inside Do you have a nagging feeling that your employees could be more productive? Do you ever feel like you’re living someone else's life? According to the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation, the more aptitudes we use daily, the happier our lives become. Whether student or seasoned professional, learn how to recognize and develop your hidden strengths, and how to use them in virtually any career. Endless Horizons: Expand Your Skills, Grow Your Business In this Age of Information, diverse knowledge boosts communication and productivity – yet often we get stuck in a bottleneck, lacking the skills we need to excel, and uncertain how to move ahead. Tindall, a classical musician turned author and scholar, shares her own journey of career enhancement – from baby steps to giant leaps -- and outlines a plan for her audience to do the same. Aim for the Stars: Achieving Your Highest Purpose It's hard to hit the bulls eye if you're aiming, well, aimlessly – yet many of us drift from day to day, from one task to another, settling for what comes our way or what we can do right now. Stop that! Instead of apathy, dream big and create a game plan to achieve your highest goals. Using examples from her own life, Tindall inspires her audience to set sky-high goals and make plans to reach each one of them. But It Was Just a Joke! Sexual Harassment in Today's Workplace Whether it's a software startup or a world-class orchestra, sexual harassment is a hot-button, potentially litigious, topic for today's companies. This keynote, with optional seminar, helps employees negotiate the minefield of what's right, what's not, and how to handle a situation that's spiraling dangerously close to harassment. Using music and scenarios from her career as a musician and journalist, Tindall leads a humorous discussion -- with fun interactive exercises -- of a serious issue that challenges every industry in the 21st century. Blair Tindall holds degrees from Stanford University, Columbia University, and the Manhattan School of Music. Author of the cult nonfiction hit, Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music , she writes for The New York Times, has taught at Stanford University, and presented a critically-acclaimed Carnegie Hall solo debut recital. She has played with the New York Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and is heard on many motion picture soundtracks (including solo performances on Spike Lee's Malcolm X), and she performed at the Blue Note Jazz Club with Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts. She is available for speaking engagements and consulting with cultural groups regarding nonprofit and arts policy, and with individuals about personal change. Audiences come away from her inspiring talk with the insights and tools they need to create a unique life, which, in turn, sparks the self-confidence and creativity that opens the door to even higher goals and achievement.
