With hope -- all things become possible.
With hope, one has the courage to change the present into a very different
future.
With hope, dreams are possible;
With hope one has the persistence to follow the dream and
With hope one can - and will - become much more than you ever dreamed
possible.
Frank demonstrates this power by using his own story as a real-life
experience of hope, courage, change and persistence. You will see
from his biography that much has been accomplished. The story becomes
remarkable when you add the real life story to that bio. In real life,
Frank was in the bowery-- panhandling for nickels and dimes not so
many years ago.
This is truly a motivational story. Audiences from all walks of life
identify with this very real story of achievement, and Frank’s
warm style convinces his audiences that he is speaking directly to
them, personally.
Frank shares with his audience how
he started his various businesses. The engaging story of the early
years of the Second Cup gives his listeners the inside story on
the growth of a Canadian retail landmark. He also talks of the
challenges that he overcame in starting Proshred Security, a document
shredding service, before people knew they needed such a service.
He will describe the unique solutions that he developed in financing
very expensive, one-of-a-kind equipment that conventional lenders
wouldn’t touch. The result
became a national business stretching across Canada and into the USA
and Europe. He will talk of his role in starting Samaritan Air, Ontario’s
first fixed-wing air ambulance service, which expanded into a major
emergency transporter of auto parts.
Bringing his entrepreneur spirit to the not-for-profit sector, Frank’s
listeners will hear about the serendipitous meeting that became Street
Kids International, and how the War Child (Canada) came into existence,
and how a late-night phone call from the Minister of External Affairs
became the Canadian Landmine Foundation.
Tying all this together with his view on the three fundamentals that
made all this work for him, Frank leaves his audience with fine examples
of where one person can go, and provides a roadmap on how to get there.
Frank O’Dea will introduce you to the powerful theory and practical
applications of Blue Ocean Strategy, creating uncontested market space.
These concepts are based on fifteen years of research across thirty
industries by Professors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne of the European
business school, INSEAD.
In today’s overcrowded markets, competing
head-to-head and searching for competitive advantage results in nothing
but a bloody" red ocean" of rivals fighting for a shrinking
pool of profit. You will be introduced to a radically different way
of thinking about business strategy, and learn how companies have
created "blue oceans" by challenging conventional assumptions
about their industries and making the competition irrelevant. With
actual examples of these companies that have created uncontested market
space by rewriting the rules of established industries, the presentation
will show you that the methodology exists, along with the tools, for
companies to create their own "blue oceans".
