Aman "UnGuru" Motwane

The man who's been leading the Revolution
to change how business does business
long before most even realized there's a Revolution!

What's an UnGuru? …

Quick Bio

Education:
Aman holds degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology and a Master’s from Stanford University, which he received in 9 months. But he’s the first to point out that education and information are worth nothing if you aren't adept at using it.

Hailed by Tom Peters for bringing his company out of the doldrums, almost overnight, heralded by the media as the UnGuru because he is such a convention-breaker, Aman Motwane is the man behind the movement to change how the world of business does business — Skills 2.0.

Aman has been dubbed
by the media
as the UnGuru
because he is unlike
almost every expert,
guru, trainer, coach
or consultant
today

What's an UnGuru?

Most gurus today teach you their insights — which is often entertaining but very rarely useful

The UnGuru guides you — and your employees — to become insightful yourself

Most gurus train you with the "best practices" — which quickly become obsolete practices

The UnGuru guides you to transcend best practices … and be at the forefront with next practices

Gurus train you in bits and pieces — for example, leadership separate from innovation separate from employee engagement — even though they're all interdependent

The UnGuru integrates your learning so that you ramp up simultaneously across all the skills you need to excel — in one fell swoop. This makes you unstoppable

Can You Afford
to Ignore What
Aman is Saying?

"Why don't our people give us their best?"

With business today so unpredictable and fast-moving, we need our people to be alert, nimble, energized, collaborative and innovative. Why aren't they rising up to that level?

There's a reason: it's because we're still using the same techniques and practices we relied on yesterday. Many of those practices were designed for a different era. They’re no longer up to the task today.

It's time to move up to the next level and learn to cultivate an environment where creativity and productivity blossom — on their own. Where being perceptive and engaged are as automatic as breathing.

But who, besides Aman Motwane, is guiding us up to this necessary next level? He shows us why moving up is actually simple, swift and sweeping. You and your team can't afford to ignore what he's saying.

John W. Sanford
Program Chair
MISHRM State Conference

"Aman Motwane is a keynote speaker bar-none. He truly is the best of the best. As many people as possible need to hear what he has to say, because his message is all about 'what’s next.' I saw the audience resonating with what he was saying, and heard one say she was so inspired she wanted to burst out of the room and go change the world! All afternoon wherever I went people were still talking about his session. There was a line at the customary book signing following his presentation, where every book was sold."

Kay Boles, CMP, CMM, CHE
VP, Education MPISCC
UCLA Conference Services

"Aman Motwane's engaging and thought-provoking keynote address at the Minnesota SHRM convention was the highlight of the conference. The presentation was followed by lively buzz at the coffee break. I can see why his message is gaining momentum. He is obviously on a mission to change the world."

Dan Wallace
Idea Food, Inc

"Having participated in many conferences and also experiencing many presenters over the years, it is always so refreshing to walk away from a meeting wanting to hear more and being truly "moved" by the spoken words! Today, our presenter, Aman Motwane spoke so eloquently on the subject of Leadership, and left our entire group wanting more. He inspires with a great message and truly connects with the audience through the use of real life stories. It was a privilege to meet him and have the opportunity to encounter just a touch of his amazing knowledge and experience!"

Judi Froehlich, CMM
Director, Business Development
