DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
A little over 30 years have passed since the first Internet page was created in 1991. In this journey that started with a single web page, we came to a point where we talk about technologies such as - Cloud Computing, Big Data, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Metaverse, Crypto, Blockchain, Robots, Voice Assistants, Full Automation, 5G and many more. These technologies, which seem to be very independent from each other, actually form a story together, which is Digital Transformation. Questions that you need to answer are… Do your employees know about all these concepts? What do all these mean or should mean to you? -and - What is the place of Digital Transformation in your story?
In this picture, it is necessary to talk not only about technology but also about the company culture. Which employees, which skill sets, which processes - enable you to be competitive in the digital transformation race and open the doors to change for you? Managing change correctly and making all the employees a part of this process are indispensable for Corporate Agility.
Technology, Trends, Digital Transformation, Corporate Agility and “you” in this journey… these are the things we will talk about together.

ENABLING CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
According to a study, 72% of people are more creative while taking a shower :) So, should all companies have shower sessions during the day? Maybe…but there are better ways.
In a rapidly changing world, it is impossible to exist without change. Not only keeping up with the change, but also playing an active role in that change, or even better, leading the change is now indispensable in order to survive.
Whether you look at it as an individual or as a company, there is a fine line between shining among those around you and disappearing among those that shine. The prerequisite for shining within the crowd is to develop the creativity and innovation muscle, or to put it differently, creativity skill set and innovation culture.
Can everyone be creative? The million dollar question :) The answer to this question is definitely yes. The important thing to know is, how to activate this muscle that everyone actually has. Being creative, finding ideas that will bring positive change, being able to pull out the best ones among these many ideas with an acid test method, and sharing these ideas with others to find support and investment. With the right approach and methods, you can enable your creativity and innovation skills.
Of course, this does not end with individuals only. The implementation of these creative ideas and their transformation from the idea stage to an innovation can only be possible by spreading the innovation culture throughout the company. What is this innovation culture and how can you turn it from a concept to a way of working, or to a process? How can you enable creativity at the individual, team and company levels and how can you take firm steps towards becoming an innovative company?
Let's break the codes of creativity and innovation together.

The Process of Idea Generation

DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING STRATEGIES
The first internet banner ad was published in 1994. That ad given by AT&T which remained on air for 3 months and the CTR (ie click-through rate) it reached was 44%. Which means, out of every 100 people who saw the ad, 44 of them were interested and clicked on it. This is such a high rate of return… For reference, today, click-through rates for banner ads are below 0.1% on average. So does this mean that digital marketing is losing its impact? Of course absolutely not. It just shows that, under today's crazy advertising pollution, capturing the customer at the right time, in the right place, with the right message, and through data-driven, performance-oriented and micro-targeting approaches are becoming the utmost necessities.
Let's get together to talk about the new trends that shape today’s marketing approaches - data analytics, microtargeting, behavioral marketing, influencer marketing, marketing automation, metaverse and many more. Let’s see where the New Generation Marketing is taking us in the Digital Age.

NEW GENERATION LEADERSHIP AND TEAM MANAGEMENT
What are the characteristics of a good leader? Has the answer to this question changed when we compare it with the leadership traits of 20 years ago? Or how much has it changed? While the basic necessary competencies of leadership may still be valid, are only those competencies sufficient to manage a new generation with completely different expectations, to ensure sustainability in a period where job turnover is so high, or to lead a company with agenda items such as digital transformation, innovation culture and organizational agility.
Think of a successful movie. The success of a movie that will break box office records, win awards and will be remembered for many years depends on a good scenario, a strong cast, an experienced and effective director and creative perspectives. Similarly, the success of a company depends on a solid vision and strategy (i.e. scenario), a competent - experienced - motivated team (i.e. cast), a leader (ie director) who has a solid vision and can push the entire company towards that vision, and a culture of innovation (ie creativity).
Competencies are becoming a requirement more than experience in recruitment processes, establishing authority is replaced by building trust to create followers, delegation supported by mentoring and coaching is becoming the norm instead of telling the employees what to do, performance-oriented management now sits at the center of the new generation leadership instead of being a far extension, employee motivation and mutual growth are going hand to hand, and traditional individual management styles are combined under a flexible leadership approach.
What should be the focus points on this path from Management to Leadership, from Leadership to New Generation Leadership? How do you build a strong team, how do you guide them, how do you motivate them, how do you get them to be better? How can the company, the team, and you as a whole achieve growth? Let's reveal the secrets of new generation leadership together.

THE ART OF POWERFUL PRESENTATIONS FOR LEADERS
Public speaking is at the top of the list of 10 most feared things in the world. The fear of forgetting every word as soon as you hear someone say, “The stage is yours”, the fear that your spoken words will not have the desired effect, the fear that your extreme concern about what people think will kill your concentration, the fear of speaking too much, and at the same time, the fear of silence, and many more mind-boggling thoughts like these place “public speaking” on top of this list.
From corporate presentations to social gatherings with friends, to be able to express oneself in every environment, to be able to convey the message clearly and effectively, to determine what to say and how to say it at the optimum level, to be entirely ready - from content to stage to tone of voice and to body language, and when you step on the stage, to be “YOURSELF” in the most self-confident way.
A professional tennis player practices all the techniques in the most ideal way possible over and over, works tirelessly, self-monitors continuously and corrects the mistakes, and strives to reach the best possible version of oneself. And when out on the field, that player parks all those details in the corner of the mind and applies those techniques that now became a reflex in the most natural way, without getting lost in the details anymore. Effective presentation techniques also require a complete end to end preparation, practicing those techniques over and over to turn them into a muscle memory, and once on stage after some relaxing breathing techniques, being as natural as possible while applying those learned techniques.
Effective Presentation Techniques are a muscle and a competency that everyone should develop, whether as an individual in your social life or as an employee in the corporate world. Based on the experiences I have gathered from the thousands of presentations I have delivered so far, it is my role to share with you the most sensitive points and important tips for presenting with impact; and it is yours to put all these learnings into practice to deliver more confident, strong and effective presentations.
