TEO’s presentation topic: Brands larger than life and the business leadership of tomorrow.

Overview:

“Creativity festivals like Cannes, Spikes, Dubai Linx or Eurobest stand for a major shift in brand communication. Advertising, as we know it, became obsolete.

So what’s in trend, now? As you might imagine, many would say technology, innovation, social media or just all of them. And their answers are correct. But the brightest would say: ~life itself~. And they would be damn right. The new big discovery – post technology, post-modernism, but (fortunately) not post-mortem – is the beauty of Life. The presentation will analyze the evolution of the creative ideas and their escape from the advertising bubble in the big city, among people and their stories. Advertising is not anymore about life, is life itself, enjoyed to its fullest”.

Enlightening 2.0. brings international perspective through a business masterpiece that will enlighten your vision and actions.

“Bob’s new book “It’s Already Inside: Nurturing Your Innate Leadership for Business and Life Success” is more than a “How To” business book or even one that claims to reveal the secrets of business leadership. The author simply tells his own story and the stories of people he has known well who have become respected leaders. Each story is told with purpose and insight” – Book review by Tyler R. Tichelaar, Ph. D and author of awarding winning “Narrow Lives”.

Here’s just one glimpse of the echo that this outstanding work triggered in the international business community:

Don Wright, Ph.D.

CEO of British Columbia Institute of Technology

“This book is full of the wisdom needed to be an effective leader. Wisdom that reflects real life lessons, many of them very hard ones.”

ENLIGHTENING SPECIAL FEATURING

Diana Baker, one of the most renowned pianists in the world, will perform with Miha Pogačnik.

Diana plays the piano since she was six years old and she is from Australia.

She travelled and learned across the globe, moving from stage to stage, experience to experience, earning international admiration and respect on her path. Diana is inspired in her work by Franz Schubert’s quote: ”Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same”.

The hardest lesson she had to learn:

"My first experience playing at the opera! I made a mistake and stopped, I stopped 100 people playing, because I was leading the rehearsal. They all stopped and stared at me. It felt as though the world stopped and fell on my head. The lesson: never ever stop“.

Haskins / American Record Guide:

“...she reveals a feather-like touch… Baker is without question up to the most dynamic pounding passages, but she is very subtle also, finding huge contrasts in the gargantuan score… she adjusts her playing accordingly, delivering the music with disarming charm and simplicity…”
