What keeps you young?  Curiosity.


In this 45-minute keynote speech, Patrick Schwerdtfeger explores the effort to stay deliberately curious as a strategy for avoiding mental stagnation and rejuvinating a sense of wonder and exploration into our lives.


As we grow older, we naturally become more “set in our ways” and develop a reluctance to learn new things.  But it’s precisely this instinct that takes the excitement out of our lives.  When we learn new things, a whole new world of possibilities opens up in front of us, allowing us to entertain life’s challenges with an upgraded set of tools.


Patrick takes the audience on a philosophical journey through their own lives and encourages each individual to rethink their approach to new information and dismantle the barriers errected by a closed mind.  The one thing we all have in common is that TODAY is the oldest we’ve ever been - all of us.  As a result, the underlying message finds universal appeal within any age range.


This speech is perfectly positioned as an introduction to a self-improvement seminar or corporate retreat.  Any event designed to introduce new information and new techniques will get off to a running start if attendees are first treated to this inspiring and resoundingly positive message.  Stay curious!
