Book IWD Speaker: Julie Austin

Creating Serendipity: Think like an inventor to generate good luck

Serendipity is about finding something of value that you’re not looking for. Inventors know this and know how to create the conditions for serendipity to happen.

Without serendipity we wouldn’t have penicillin, microwave ovens, X-rays and Velcro.

We all know people who seem to have all the luck, and ones who can never catch a break.

It turns out that there’s a scientific reason why. Lucky people have a series of traits and habits that leave them open to more serendipity.

But those traits and habits are available to anyone who wants to have more good luck in life.

Some of those include having an insatiable curiosity, being able to look at things from a different perspective, knowing how to spot opportunities others miss, how to turn bad luck into good luck, and getting out of your comfort zone on a regular basis.

Inventor and innovator Julie Austin weaves inspirational storytelling and examples of serendipity with proven techniques inventors use to create more serendipity in life and business.

Fewer than 4% of all speakers in the world are sole patent holders and Julie is one of them, along with being an international manufacturer.

What attendees will learn:
- Why curiosity is the key to a better life
- How to spot opportunities others miss
- Why we all tend to get stuck in a rut, and how we can get out of it
- How to create more good luck in life
