EAUC 2008 Keynote Speaker: Robert Van Arlen

Speaker, emcee and author Robert Van Arlen entertains and educates his audiences through an exciting and engaging performance. Born in Honolulu, the former Fortune 500 executive built a reputation for changing the culture of his teams from whiners to winners during his 15-year career in the legal publishing industry. His Focused Synergy™ message resonates with audiences as a process of individual and team improvement through vision and values alignment. Leaders walk away with specific techniques to inspire growth, individuals learn the value of practicing excellence and everyone takes something away that they can share with others.

The Music of Productivity

Mr. Van Arlen will deliver a lively presentation that focuses on improving productivity through automation, incorporating his unique model of music concepts to create a memorable experience. Elements of The Music of Productivity include:

  • The Power of Melody. In music, melody is the central theme and purpose of a musical piece. As related to automation, melody communicates the purpose and capability of technology in orchestrating efficiency and productivity.
  • The Significance of Harmony. Harmony illustrates a form of synergy, with everything working together and flowing in a harmonic environment. When an organization embraces automation, it is more likely to develop a harmonic environment that produces excellence in creativity and teamwork.
  • Executing Rhythm. The Music of Productivity concludes with a message that drives accountability for results. Through a rhythmic jam session, Mr. Van Arlen will demonstrate how synchronicity is paramount for improving productivity.
