Hi t�ere.
If I could put pen to paper in one paragraph, it would be something like this. I understand the feeling of
desire to fulfil something of significance in life. I’ve always felt like I wanted to do more than just survive in life – I wanted to be a pioneer. And while mainstream teaching suggests it’s all about being the example for motivation to rise to any occasion, I have found that
aligning progress is more to do with adopting “Calculated Creativity”, where individuals and
organisations have the space and the opportunity to be generous with their contribution. But we also
know that generosity cannot exist without boundaries, as generosity is only initiated when an individual steps outside the confines of boundaries and thinks curiously
about their purpose and work.
The more I research and experience this, the more I discover that leadership is more about creating a space
for people to be curious. It’s that safe place where people can grow and pioneer new adventures, the
genuine version of success, which is to be great at life. I’m bold enough to say that if you want to do anything
that is ground breaking, then we all need to think curiously. This is my passion.
The offici�l in�o.
Dan started his first business at the mere age of 18 – ITECH Pty Ltd, which is today one of Asia-Pacific’s largest IT
wholesalers. Following his success with this venture, he went on to lead a Youth Culture organisation, fostering
creative culture and growing its member base from 80 to 460 in a short period of time.
Dan Turton is passionate about leadership, but even deeper than this is his drive to help others lead and foster new ventures and ideas in leadership. Dan has led in many
arenas and capacities and will help you Think Curiously, pioneer Calculated Creativity, and cultivate Emotion and Purpose to drive progress in any forward
thinking organisation.
Some of Dan’s clients include Starbucks Coffee, Optus, Audi, Qantas, Suncorp, Westpac, New Zealand Telecom,
Griffith Universities, Victorian Government, Rotary International, Queensland Government and numerous not-
for-profit organisations.
He serves as a Executive Director for the Leadership Institute of Australia. He is a creative entrepreneur, but
Dan’s true passion is people, and he is a sought after keynote speaker.
A coffee sipper, avid reader and family man, Dan resides in
Brisbane.

you have heard on how to encourage people to think curiously.” – Faculty Coordinator, Griffith
University
You may have heard many things on the subject of leadership. The curiosity of what makes a leader tick was the inspiration of why I wanted to be someone that led with genuine passion and purpose. But
leadership goes far beyond the realms of “good leadership”, it’s about fostering creativity and provoking
curious thinking to achieve true progress in the work we do. It is intentionally giving people the structure
to engage them to be generous in their work, and to give a place for individuals to go ahead and break
new ground. There is no such thing as a ‘great leader’ - you either are a leader or you are not. To stay relevant in todays ‘global’ workplace, we need to work with intent and lead with a collaborative focused
resolve, to see the people we lead achieve progress that is brought about by curiosity and supported by a
community of genuine encouragement.

“Passion without a plan, is just a feeling - wow what a light bulb moment it was for me.” – Corporate
Communications, Optus Australia
Some of the qualities we look for, not just in our leaders, but also in our employees, are integrity,
autonomy, creativity, innovation and passion. But we must bring passion together with having a plan -
because we inherently foster the feeling of false progress when all we have is a highly energetic
environment that lacks the opportunity towards purposeful progress. Utilising passionate, engaged people
can literally change your organisational world, but we need to map the journey to allow people to be
guided to a place where growth and new thinking is ‘business as usual’, and we utilise passion on purpose.
Perfect for:
>> People leaders, senior leadership who want to
effectively influence empathy, agility and productivity
through fostering passion with a plan to achieve
extraordinary progress.

strategy it can inspire new, ground-breaking progress.

must discover how to bring meaningful progress and
stability to innovative work.

Cal�ulated Cre�tivit� – Brin�in� an at�os��ere of generosit� to t�e wor��lace “This is inspiring. To regroup, bring out the best work by thinking collaboratively and inspiring individuals to be generous through the process of their strategies.” – Learning & Development, Victorian Government
Structure is a great thing, as long as it encourages generosity. We have long heard about the thinking that structure is bad and autonomy is good. Autonomy is good, but structure is only bad if the plan in which we
monitor its progress is inflexible. Structure that nurtures, protects and brings a sense of community is a fantastic base for any organisation. It’s kind of an oxymoron to be calculated in creativity, but it’s powerful to
do so. Planning to think differently fosters an atmosphere of generosity, this flows through from not only being
an example, but also the notion that we walk together as one - each person with a sense of ownership and responsibility to see progress happen. A leader will inspire action and the individual will action innovation.
When this combination comes into effect, we see a revolution of new ways of work and collaboration.

Take away from this keynote:
>> Why we must become responsive and not reactive to
survive new demands from the global market and how
to make this a reality.
>> How to use new thinking in motivation to inspire
individuals to lead and forge new pathways of
innovation.
>> Discover why great culture is more effective when it
is viewed as a measure of personal engagement rather
than an strategic measure of organisational health.
