Mitchell Ditkoff tells audiences to "ASSUME NOTHING!"

Recognizing the need to get the corporate "undiscussables" out on the table before people can truly use their creative energy to solve problems, Mitchell formed the Work Force Band and put together a program called "Face the Music: Going Beyond the Corporate Blues." This large-scale, high energy event provides laughter, music and a chance to tell the truth about the issues in an organization...in song.

ASSUME NOTHING! is an engaging keynote address that enables every member of your audience to identify his or her biggest limiting assumptions and use them as catalysts to brainstorm new ways of going beyond them. Time allowing, a full group profile can be created, providing senior management with insight into the most common limiting assumptions impacting the organization. Below are just a few examples of the kind of assumptions Ditkoff helps clients identify, address, and transform:

Educated at Lafayette College and Brown University, Mitchell is presently a faculty member of GE's Crotonville Management Development Center, and Bell Atlantic's Marketing Institute. At the heart of his work lies the fundamental belief that a company's most important capital asset is the collective brain power, creativity, and commitment of its work force and that this asset can be significantly leveraged when people are provided with the appropriate setting, systems, tools and techniques to think (and act) out of the box. Mitchell's keynote presentation fees range from $5000 to $7500 plus travel.
