Keynote Speaker: Academic, Inventor & Technology Futurist; Author of "The Perfect Rejection Resume"

Dr. Eli Joseph Biography

Dr. Eli Joseph is an engineer, inventor, statistician, futurist, author, and academic. He is credited with the invention of the extended reality (XR) book. In addition to serving as an associate faculty member at the Columbia University School of Professional Studies, Joseph serves as a faculty member at New York University, UCLA, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Dartmouth College. He is also a partner at ExamOne, a Quest Diagnostics company.

He is the author of the book entitled "The Perfect Rejection Resume." In this book, he encourages readers to draw inspiration from their failures, to understand and build on the lessons learned through failures, and to use failure as a tool to accomplish their goals.

Joseph is no stranger to failure and rejection. In his lifetime, he has been turned down by more than 1,500 employers, 30 colleges, and 75 scholarship foundations. Though Joseph experienced a plethora of rejections from various firms and institutions, he has overcome these challenges and used his failures as fuel for motivation to succeed.

He recently delivered two TEDx talks this fall entitled “Time Is Your Biggest Competition” and “No Trace, No Case.” Nicknamed "The Messenger," Eli Joseph's work has appeared in Fortune, Forbes, AdWeek, Inc Magazine, Fast Company, the New York Post, Black Enterprise, The Harvard Business Review, and many other publications. He earned his Doctorate in Business Administration from Felician University, becoming the first-ever graduate to complete the curriculum at the age of 24.

Dr. Eli Joseph Speaking Topics

Time is Your Greatest Competition

Description: We are all given the same amount of time in a given day. Additionally, we have been told that we can manifest our success if we are competing against ourselves. Through the analysis of the Yerkes-Dodson Law, the metronome effect, and stress, we will understand why time is our greatest competition.

Takeaway:

  • Leaders will welcome new challenges because they have no problems working under pressure and dealing with tight deadlines. Through this metronome experiment, you realize that you are only competing against yourself when no one is watching. You are competing with yourself when you are practicing and training, and you are improving your skills. However, your accomplishments from workshops, practice and training sessions are meaningless if you can’t execute your purpose when it matters.

The greatest business leaders develop that killer instinct when they can perform at an elite level during stressful situations.

One of the best ways we can stay committed to our objectives is to make sure that we set a deadline for each goal. When a deadline is set, we are establishing a binding contract. At this moment, we have commenced a friendly battle against time for each goal.

  • The future of books: How XR technology could revolutionize storytelling

    For generations, the book publishing industry has been dominated by a tight group of gatekeepers whose primary concern was to sell stories as commodities. The industry favours established forms, often valuing saleable genres and familiar approaches to storytelling over experimentation. Many unconventional stories that blur genre, blend media or play with form have been left in editors’ slush piles as a result.
