Back by popular demand, The Brand Guy will be taking delegates on a journey way outside their comfort zone at the Food & Drink + PKN LIVE event in August.

Driving Change is the theme of his presentation, and he will look at the challenge of change in our accelerated world, and cover the three ways to deal with a changing world.

He'll identify the key attributes needed to drive change and what you need to bring to the party.

“Business begins at the end of our comfort zone,” Sauerman says.

“My objective is to inspire individuals to aim high and drive change. To be willing to back themselves, be bold, take risks.”

Driving change is about tapping into and then unleashing the full potential of each team member, and the team as a whole.

Driving Change is not a lecture, says Sauerman, it's an experience. Don't miss it. Register here.
