What’s really going on??

In this 45-minute keynote speech, Patrick Schwerdtfeger discusses the different political power centers around the world and their respective motivations within today’s global reality.  Power centers include both secular and non-secular players and the role of religion is discussed candidly, particularly in the Middle East.

Six primary power centers are discussed including the US, Europe, Russia, China, India and the Middle East energy exporters.  Although some have similar motivations, their unique individual circumstances dictate their tactics used.  Patrick explains these realities in plain English, allowing listeners to gain a broad understanding of the ongoing global chess match and its indirect impact on the local business community.

Media purveyors attempt to satisfy their audience.  If the level of sophistication is low, the level of analysis is also low.  Unfortunately, we live in a society with a relatively low level of sophistication and that’s reflected in modern media coverage.  This speech addresses the issues in a direct and uncensored fashion.  Listeners will quickly see past the superficial headlines and naive analysis hailed by today’s media outlets.

This speech is extremely thought-provoking and is best suited for a curious and sophisticated audience.  Examples could range from business owners to corporate CEOs to high-level educators.
