They’re naked, they hunt with bows and arrows, and they cut down trees with stone axes. Yet, in many ways, these tribal people are smarter than we are. This photo (and yes, it is a real, untouched photo) serves as the cornerstone for a motivating, inspirational and humorous key note filled with lessons each audience member will use the moment they walk out of the door.

Inspired by 2,000-year-old tribal traditions, award-winning journalist Gerard Braud (Jared Bro) has identified 12 key lessons from these Stone Age people that can enrich our lives. Lessons include leadership, teamwork, communication, faith, family, priority-setting, preparedness, diversity, celebration and other key metrics that will inspire and motivate your organization.

Each presentation is customized, as you pick the top three lessons that will best benefit your audience. Book Gerard for your next conference and join audiences across America as they learn what it’s like to stand on a mountainside clothed, while everyone around you is naked, only to realize those of us in the modern world are the ones who may be “out of our gourds”.
