Speech Topics

• PEAK How Great Companies Get Their Mojo From Maslo

  Part memoir, part theory, and part application, Chip shares Joie de Vivre's remarkable transformation while providing real world examples from other companies and showing how attendees can bring about similar changes in their work and personal lives. He explains how to understand the motivations of employees, customers, bosses, and investors, and use that understanding to foster better relationships and build an enduring and profitable corporate culture.

• Toward a Psychology of Business: Simple Truths for Creating a Culture of Happiness and Success

  Chip believes the most neglected fact in business is that we're all human and that business schools don't do enough to help us understand that creating peak experiences for stakeholders can create peak performance for a company. The PEAK model can be used to understand how a company can relate to relationships beyond those with employees and customers: investors, vendors, the community, and, even with yourself. As a practitioner who has used his own company (with over 3,000 employees) as a laboratory for understanding the human condition, Chip's philosophical but prescriptive approach to leadership will be very illuminating.

• The Modern Elder: A New Framework for Sharing and Receiving Wisdom

  For the first time ever, we have five generations in the workplace at the same time. What would happen if we got more intentional about how we all work together? Age diversity makes companies stronger as wisdom can flow in both directions from old to young and vice versa based upon new practices that encourage mutual mentorship.

• Distruptive Innovation: Learning How to See and Surf Disruption

  Chip Conley has disrupted the hospitality industry twice, once as the founder and long-time CEO of Joie de Vivre Hotels (America's second largest boutique hotel company) and more recently in 2013 when he joined the three founders of Airbnb to help grow and lead the company to become the most valuable hospitality company in the world. Chip has identified his three rules of disruptive innovation in any industry and how start-ups as well as established companies can see the foreshadowing of a new wave on the horizon and surf that wave to competitive advantage.

• Chip Conley and the Modern Elder: How Wisdom@Work is Revolutionizing Inclusion and Belonging

• Revolutionizing Inclusion and Belonging

• The Future of Work: How to Scale Your Culture in a Hybrid Organization

  When the young founders of Airbnb asked Chip to help turn their startup into a world-class organization, he brought a core set of principles that would transform the culture of the company. As the world adapts to the changing dynamics of hybrid work, these same principles are the key to unlocking productivity, creativity, collaboration, and culture - all while maintaining flexibility. This framework will give you the tools to amplify a growth mindset at scale, and develop talent across all levels of your organization. Chip deconstructs how to understand the motivations of employees, customers, bosses, and investors, and use that to foster better relationships and build a more connected culture than ever before.
