THE SPEAKER

Deane Hutton is enthusiastic, energetic and entertaining. And he has a message which all organizations need to consider. You can CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY, CREATE YOUR OWN FUTURE, by choosing and using the technologies, goals and team patterns that will ensure that individuals are WINNERS and your business GROWS!

THE MESSAGE

"The Science of WINNING!" is not just a talk. It is a fast moving, high energy, visual extravaganza of scientific experiments and demonstrations. As a keynote address, "The Science of WINNING!" combines the content of a must-see documentary on the Future, with the fun of a Variety Show! Deane draws on his skill and experience, as a science and technology writer-presenter on television’s "Curiosity Show" (18 years) and "Hey Hey It’s Saturday!" (7 years), to weave together a spell-binding presentation. And the message is always tailored to the needs of the client.

Not only does Deane illustrate new technologies which are changing the world, but also he uses science demonstrations as ANALOGIES to help us better understand ourselves, our goals and our relationships with others. And he uses ‘volunteers’ from the audience in these dramatic experiments:

  • A hammer swinging on a rope from the ceiling, dangerously close to a volunteer's nose, illustrates SELF-BELIEF and CONFIDENCE.
  • A model helicopter hovering above the heads of audience members demonstrates BALANCE and CONTROL.
  • A water-powered rocket, which crashes into the ceiling with surprising force, illustrates PERSONAL and CORPORATE POWER.
  • A rotating, trapezium-shaped Ames' Window performs impossible contortions in the minds of viewers showing the importance of PERCEPTION and MIND-SET in new situations.
  • A flower, sausage and rubber ball are frozen in liquid nitrogen and then shattered, showing the importance of FLEXIBILITY and the perils of RIGIDITY.
  • A rapid fire chain reaction with mouse traps and ping pong balls reveals the possibilities of TEAMWORK and EXPONENTIAL GROWTH in business.
  • The classic pulling-the-table-cloth-away trick shows that a combination of KNOWLEDGE and CONFIDENCE ensures SUCCESS!

Also, Deane shows how creativity organizations around the world are using new developments in science and technology to develop exciting products which change the way we live. These include unbreakable ceramics, metals with memories, superconductors which defy gravity, and electronic devices which mimic living things.
