Actor and high-profile Entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds was in San Diego this week as the Keynote Speaker at Cisco’s WebexOne annual convention. Cisco’s use of cutting edge celebrity speakers to share their stories on the podium are an example of raising the bar higher and higher each year (last 3 years with Simone Biles, Robert DeNiro, and now Ryan Reynolds). With Cisco’s message that collaboration and empathy drive innovation and brand relevance–and not just technology–some takeaways from this Celebrity Keynote Speaker event were shared on social media with so many of those in attendance:
Lead with Emotional Investment, and not Capital.
The underdog story still wins hearts.
Humor is strategy, not decoration.
Small validations build lifelong confidence.
Balance is presence, not perfection. A powerful message for leaders striving to find equilibrium between ambition and authenticity.
