“What exists within the area of uncertainty is so much greater and more exciting than anything we might reach through our regular channels of thought.”
my signature keynote
Turning uncertainty into innovative power
In a highly volatile tech landscape and an accelerating speed of business, we can never know all the variables. We often feel that uncertain circumstances stand in our way to fulfilling our creative potential. The real question is - how can we embrace uncertainty and use it as a tool to reach levels of creativity we never thought possible, especially when we are inherently wired to avoid it?
I speak and run workshops on discovering the power of uncertainty and creative problem solving. I am available for conferences and in-house events for companies.
“Yonatan’s presentation and enthusiasm are extraordinary. He tackles the complex issue of uncertainty and converts it into actual methods to level up our creative thinking. The examples he gives from our daily lives illustrate the practical application of these methods. I highly recommend Yonatan as a guide in this field.”
With over a decade of delivering successful digital products, Yonatan will share:
✔ How to overcome main issues around working in uncertain circumstances
✔ Habits, tools, and processes for driving innovation through uncertainty
✔ Compare and contrast certain vs. uncertain approaches to creative work
✔ Tips and advice to ensure the creative process does not lead to "familiar results", but delivers novel result
“I had a pleasure attending Yonatan’s lecture. He brings an open-minded and refreshing approach to the uncertainty we all encounter in our daily work, and invites us to embrace it as a creativity booster force instead of fearing it or trying to avoid it. He truly walks his talk, when it comes to deep listening - the lecture is built as an open conversation, inviting the audience to contribute the collective experience and wisdom in order to come up with new ideas for real life challenges. I hope every control freak manager will have an opportunity to hear his messages.”

Seeing opportunities in the world around us
Developing products in a reality where the resources are scarce and the schedule is crowded makes it difficult for us to take a step back to see the big picture.

In this talk your team will learn:
- Why we must question everything, even our own perceptions
- How to observe everyday reality actively and not passively
- How to use observation techniques to see new opportunities and build a better product strategy
