I am giving a presentation to the executive leadership team at a major public university (over 60 people including the president). This presentation will focus on the trends happening in our society that will eventually impact all educational institutions. The president is concerned that their leadership team is not prepared to engage, internalize and make the necessary changes that will help them to thrive in the 21st century. The president would like me to give the opening address which will motivate these leaders to consider the subjects (educational trends, societal trends, consumer trends) that will be presented later in the seminar. I would like help in providing an inspirational talk that will stimulate their personal commitment to lead change based on coming educational changes. Can you provide a framework for this talk, along with possible ideas and facts which will gain the attention of a highly educated (and critical) audience? I am totally flexible on the number of slides used. The talk will be 30 minutes in length and it will be executed via a PowerPoint format.
