She takes her personal life experiences and challenges and discusses her process to developing solutions that are beyond our average, everyday mindsets. I booked her for an event in 2017 with 500+ attendees, and again in 2018 with even more attendees - both audiences were on their feet in a standing ovation. People are still talking about it! I would happily book her again in 2019, 2020, etc.”

Innovation expert Soon Yu has released his first book Iconic Advantage to rave reviews and on the Amazon best-seller list. Adam Grant says "This book explains why some brands are built to last and others seem doomed to perish. It’s a framework that every marketer can put into play right away."
In Iconic Advantage, Soon takes a look at some of the world’s largest brands to uncover the secrets of creating iconic properties and maximizing the value they create. Further, he reveals to readers the universal principles of iconicity—creating noticing power, enhancing staying power and driving scaling power—to immediately unlock iconic value in their existing products and stack the odds in their favor in developing new properties.

2017 has certainly been a standout year for Clint Smith, with his 2016 poetry collection Counting Descent, winning the 2017 Literary Award for Best Poetry Book from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. He's a 2017 recipient of the Jerome J. Shestack Prize from the American Poetry Review. He was recently named to the EBONY Power 100 2017 list under "The Luminaries". And this week was announced as a 30 Under 30 Media star for Forbes.
As a featured voice of Crooked Media's popular podcast "Pod Save the People" and one of our most popular speakers, Clint has much to share with us on historical perspectives and the use of poetry as a means to ask about the world—something he often dissects both on the show, in his writing, with his studies and certainly his speeches.
Check out this reflective video and short performance of his piece "What the cicada said the black boy":
“Soon Yu recently spoke at our corporate Sales and Marketing retreat. His energy, enthusiasm, and love of business (and life) was contagious. Soon immediately had the teams full focus and attention, something that is quite a feat with our team of opinioned and strong personalities. He proceeded to take us through a fresh and innovative ideation session around our business, strengths, and signature moments which included a breakthrough ideation process. His ability to help our team take a step back from the day to day stress of a growing company and focus on the higher level value that we provide to our customers was refreshing and extremely insightful. I would highly recommend Soon to any business looking for a charismatic, energetic speaker who will energize your team while helping to bring clarity to the key differentiators that help to drive corporate success.”
