Audio Version of OPEN TO THINK

If you have been waiting for the audio version of my newest book, OPEN TO THINK, the wait is now over.

As with my other books, once again I am the narrator. It's such a thrill to narrate your own book for listeners like you. Thank you for entrusting me to do a good job. (I sure I hope I did!)

   

Also, you can listen to a sneak peek.

REVIEWS REQUESTED

If you have already managed to plough through OPEN TO THINK, would you be so kind and consider leaving a review on Amazon? I would most appreciate it.

SPEAKING

I've had the great fortune of touring North America recently, chatting with all sorts of folks about OPEN TO THINK and its primary messages. If you'd like to consider me for an event, download this handy Dan Pontefract Speaker Profile document. The latest public speaking events are listed on my site.

PODCASTS

I've had the incredible good fortune recently to participate in several podcast episodes that you may be interested in downloading and listening to.

AND FINALLY...

It's not ideal, but in the middle of a book launch (and my normal gig at TELUS as Chief Envisioner)

I had to suffer through the emergency removal of my gallbladder. Ugh.

I want to take this opportunity to thank so many of you that sent along kind words of support and healing. I'm getting there.

And a very special thanks to my infinitely better half, Denise Lamarche. Down a parent, and in an incredibly demanding role herself, her ability to balance everything with the goats while tending to me is nothing short of remarkable. xxx

Testimonials

  • Dan Pontefract’s keynote on the importance of workplace culture in employee engagement was excellent.  Dan used his vast leadership experience to provide our conference attendees with practical strategies to build teams that are engaged and committed. His relatable, real-life examples were thought provoking, memorable and very personal, creating a connection to the audience. I would highly recommend Dan as an entertaining keynote speaker who delivers content that is relevant and actionable.

    Michelle Hillyard, Director SCU

  • We are so proud to have had you at our event. Your talk was a big hit. It moved us. We can’t thank you enough.

    Malin Björnell, Salesforce

  • Dan challenged us to have clarity of purpose, both as individuals and as an organization. He related inspiring stories drawing on his experience in business, technology and academia. As he said, ‘There is no ownership without belonging.’

    Christian Pantel, D2L

  • Fantastic engaging talk for our global partner summit. Thank you so much, Dan!

     

    Barb Kinnard, CEO Response Biomedical Corp

  • Dan not only brought his presentation to life with his charisma, but also content, style and presentation finesse. Our members were especially interested in his thought provoking and top of mind topic on the future of work and how we’re going to be leading the next generation of leaders.

    Cheryl Goodwin, CPA

  • Dan is a conference organizer’s ideal speaker. Not only did he inspire and energize our group, but he also masterfully adapted his content so it resonated with the audience and our conference theme. As a bonus, Dan is able to nimbly navigate to adjust to a reduced time slot when other speakers went over time without sacrificing the impact of his session.

    Director and General Counsel

  • Dan accomplished what we set out to do, which was not only to be inspirational, but also to leave everyone with tools and food for thought / self-reflection to improve their personal and professional lives.

    Hermann Handa, FCT
