Keynote Presentations

The Hidden Path to Greatness: The Ultimate Formula for Breakthrough Learning and Creativity

For generations, we’ve been taught there are two ways to succeed—either from talent or practice. In this groundbreaking discussion, Dr. Friedman shatters the myths of top performance and describes a powerful third path—one that has quietly launched icons in a wide range of fields, from artists to athletes, chefs to entrepreneurs: reverse engineering.

Ron Friedman is an award-winning psychologist who has served on the faculty of several prestigious colleges and universities and has consulted for political leaders, nonprofits and many of the world’s most recognized brands. Popular accounts of his research have appeared in major newspapers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, the Globe and Mail, and The Guardian, as well as magazines such as Harvard Business Review and Psychology Today.
