DROWN IN NEGATIVITY OR SWIM IN POSITIVITY with Maurice Goldberg

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “That our experience of the world is a choice. We can find equal dark and light. Equal utopia and dystopia. Equal heaven and hell. Where our focus goes gives us our reality.”________My guest today has been an architect, created and headed up a financial planning business for two decades, then became a coach and mentor of business leaders and for even more diversity thrown in, the past nine years now an acclaimed Artist. Maurice Goldberg leverages the inherent creativity in all human beings to innovate and implement better, faster... & more beautifully. He brings clarity, self-expression and expansive thinking to engage and innovate within organisations and take people beyond what they think is possible. He has created some of the fastest-growing and most forward-thinking businesses in Australia. He has been listed three times in BRW Magazines Fast100, being one of the fastest 100 growing companies in Australia (2004, 2005 and 2007). For over 30 years he’s been the CEO of businesses in Financial Services, Real Estate, Marketing and Public Art & Design where he has been instigating revolutionary thinking.   What makes Maurice unique is his success in both Finance and The Arts which has given him mastery of both analytical left-brain and creative right-brain thinking. He also has decades of facilitating small and large groups to effectively, deep dive into clarity and accelerated engagement and increased ideation. This gives his clients momentum and insights that most organisations struggle to gain.  He has always been creative and often rocks the boat in his pursuit of better ways of doing business. His diverse career has led him to be part visionary, part rebel and part designer and like a great architect asks deeper questions that facilitate evolutionary pathways to success. He says challenges in business and life are design puzzles waiting to be solved by asking the right questions.Evolving smarter happens by creatively unlocking the all too often hidden ideas, potential and passion, locked inside our organisations He is known for his razor-sharp intuitive insights and his uncanny ability to simplify what seems complex. Clients describe his facilitations as insightful, fun, unexpected and mind-blowing and a game changer.In the past decade, he has also been making an extraordinary body of public art exhibited in public spaces, festivals and museums from Sydney to London and the Pilbara to New York.
