“I sat through Alexander’s presentation and I must say it was truly awesome. He communicated the message of innovation very clearly. I also found it very impressive – and he did it extremely well — that he localized his presentation for India which was absolutely great, and he really connected with the audience. I really appreciate it. Thank you!”

“Alexander Blass delivered a wonderful speech on innovation. It was very dynamic, very high energy. It was one part inspirational and one part educational, and very very informative. I would recommend this experience to any company that is looking for a charismatic, very dynamic speaker who has been there, has innovated, and who can tell you what it takes to innovate.”

“Today we had a masterclass on innovation by Alexander Blass. It’s been a fantastic experience. We had 56 of our managers and assistant managers attending and we’ve really opened up a lot of minds and changed mindsets. It’s a great new approach, I think it will lead to innovation in all sorts of spheres in the business. I am really looking forward to taking this forward over the next 12 months. Thank you very much, it was very inspirational, look forward to see you again.”

“We were very glad today to have Mr. Alexander Blass who presented to us key elements on being innovative and related technology. His presentation was really heart-touching, interactive with the audience, and out of the norm of a typical presentation. We really highly recommend Mr. Blass and his presentations for other such events around the globe. Thank you very much.”

أنا الرئيس المؤسس لجمعية البحرين لتطوير الابتكار. سعدت اليوم بلقاء ألكسندر بلاس وحضور ندوته. بالطبع كانت الندوة تفاعلية ومفيدة للغاية للحضور. هناك حوالي 180 شخصًا يشاركون ومحتويات الندوة إعلامية وغنية بالمعلومات. أوصي به للطلاب والشركات والموظفين وكل من يسعى إلى تغيير وتحسين وتحسين حياتهم أو أعمالهم بشكل فعال ومعرفة المزيد حول كيفية القيام بذلك

“I have been managing this workshop, and it is one of the nicest, most interactive and engaging workshops… I can see the difference in this workshop and the level of enthusiasm and professionalism of the speaker. It is a state-of-the-art workshop and it is fabulous to be honest. I would like to thank Mr. Alexander Blass for the great job. Thank you!”

“We have a gathering on innovation in telecom, and we were very pleased to have Alexander as the keynote speaker. He gave a very enlightening speech on innovation. We were very impressed by the framework he has worked out to help innovate in companies… we also had a masterclass with Alexander that I can warmly recommend.”

“He did a great job of bringing in examples from all over the world. Highly energetic. He got engaged, got into the audience, not just a static speech with Powerpoint slides. Highly recommended!”

“He gave us a revelation into the meaning of innovation. He brought it close to our hearts, our minds, and our soul. We had a good 2 days with him. This program is definitely a long lasting insight with impact, that will help you make that journey, of faith in innovation.”

“Wow, it was undoubtedly one of the best sessions I have ever attended. The key takeaway for me was that if you breathe, if you eat for your living, you should innovate for your living. And innovation and energy go hand in hand, so I am requesting Alexander to give me some of his energy and innovation skills so that I can survive in this world. Thanks a lot, Alexander!”

“Alexander Blass was the best part of the entire EPIC conference in New York City. I felt as if he was speaking directly to me, and the other audience members felt the same way. He gave me a lot of new ideas, was very clear and concise, and was full of energy. He was also easy to approach afterwards and very friendly. I would highly recommend Alexander Blass for your conference.”

“I go to a lot of events year, and hear a lot of speakers. Alexander Blass is by far one of the more dynamic speakers I have ever heard. Quite honestly the message of the presentation was very impressive. Innovation is a tremendous motivation for us internally. It is something we preach within our client base, and I got a lot of points out of this meeting I can share with my clients.”

“Alexander’s remarks were really on point, as we are going through an aggressive new strategic planning initiative. We are trying to move the organization to the next level. He really hit points on how staff should be engaged in that and involved, and think differently and more creatively. He also took the time to learn a lot about NFPA to make his comments very relevant to where we are in our history.”

“I've just attended a great opening keynote by Alexander Blass, really great session about innovation and how I as a person--but also in relation to my company--can innovate. I think it would be a great, inspirational way to start any events that are focused on innovation and how to disrupt and change the way we think about products, services, marketing, and your organization. Great event. Great keynote.”

“Alexander presented an excellent speech at the [Abu Dhabi] Innovation Forum, helping us to better understand innovation and how it can be integrated in the business sector… One of those areas is sustainability. He linked innovation trends to local and regional issues, connecting the best practices of the West to local issues and bridging those two worlds.”

“Acabo de salir de una de las presentaciones a que en realidad me han impactado más en todas estas congresos a los que he venido. Oh, sorpresa que me llevé porque pensé que a modo iba a ser lo mismo acerca de innovación y de liderazgo. Pero esta presentación en realidad llegó a mí. Alexander llegó a la parte intelectual, a la parte de crecimiento profesional y a la parte personal, a esa parte del corazón."

Client Testimonials

WHAT CURRENT AND ASPIRING INNOVATORS SAY

“We had Alexander Blass as a speaker in our university and I think it was one of the best experiences of my life so far. He really connected with us. And I felt like on a personal level, on a social level, it was really relatable. He not only crossed our minds, but even our hearts. It was extremely, truly inspiring. All of us had a spark in us, but Alexander Blass helped us put that spark into a flame.”


“It was a fantastic session where we actually learned how we have to sell our products… creating a buzz… also about innovation before your product goes obsolete. It was a wonderful session. It helped a lot, a lot.”

“The opening speaker of this summit, Mr. Alexander Blass was a really blasting speaker! His energy is so contagious. For students this is what they need to see from an entrepreneur to get into it, increase their passion, motivate them, build their confidence. I think it was wonderful and amazing; one of the very best speakers I have heard in the last 10 years.”

“I attended Alexander Blass’s keynote speech today at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Entrepreneurship Summit. It was one of the most amazing speeches I’ve ever heard. I think it is the right moment for people around the world to come and look at this area of the world and find opportunities.”

"Today, we had this wonderful opportunity to meet Mr. Alexander Blass. He has given us immense confidence and motivation to do something great in our futures. He has taught us how to be determined and motivated and not to be scared to try anything new, so I'm extremely happy and I would like to thank our university for giving us this opportunity to meet Mr. Alexander."

"This is our first visit to IIT Bombay. We heard this morning's speech by Mr. Alexander Blass and it was indeed amazing, We learned a lot, especially the axioms and his framework for innovation. It was great to be trained by Mr. Alexander Blass and basically a great start for all of us."


"I am an ICT college student from Bahrain Polytechnic. I attended the innovation seminar that was hosted by Alexander Blass. he really opened up a lot of new ideas. It's been maybe just 6 hours, but for me like a whole month's session, that's how good he is."

"Today's session was very insightful and interesting because you usually go to these workshops, and you kind of hear the same type of case studies or framework and there is nothing new to take back home. But in today's session I learned loads of examples and case studies that I have mostly never heard of... Alexander was also good at keeping everyone interested which I think was a great feat as well because it was a full day workshop."

"The things he discussed with us were really awesome. He made us stick to our seats until the whole convocation was completed. We were listening to him like mad people biting our nails away for a whole 2 hours. We learned a lot of things from him. We should never quit on our dreams... he has made us learn what the true soul and meaning of an entrepreneur is."


"It was a very very nice seminar, we learned many things, how to implement my ideas. I recommend all students to come and learn from this seminar in the future. Thank you."


"During the 3-days, we have a good idea of how we can innovate, and how we can understand the new innovations... I want to thank him for his good knowledge he gave us, and good experience, that helped me also innovate in my field."

"It was very very inspiring, and I had often thought of starting up my own venture, but as of now I did not really have the guts or what it takes to innovate. What I learned was that I would rather try and fail rather than regret not trying... I would just say that it was a very cherishable experience, and I would love to attend any seminar conducted by him in the future."


"Today we had Alexander Blass present to us how we can implement our innovative ideas. It was really powerful and a great advantage for us. I hope you have this presentation from him."

“I have to say it was one of the most interesting seminars on innovation that I have attended… the case studies provided made it very interesting because you could actually link the material and real life… there was no snoozing which was a definite plus. You're definitely going to enjoy it. I would strongly recommend this course for anybody. You'd actually be making a very good investment by taking this seminar.”

“This is the first workshop that got my attention. It was a very interesting workshop thanks to Alexander Blass, full of interesting axioms, very fresh with ‘meat’ and great information. We learned a lot from it and it will help us bring out the passion from within that we have, into our daily lives.”

“I am here at IIT Bombay today to attend Alexander Blass’s incredible session on innovation. What I really liked about his speech is how human psychology plays a very critical role in arriving at those innovative breakthrough ideas… if I were distill everything he said through his 5 case studies, the crux is cognitive sciences… the takeaway is, it is not your technical domain expertise that drives innovation. It’s how you connect it to the people…”


“I am a senior financial analyst at the Civil Service Bureau. I have been attending the 3-day workshop… I was able to discover my innovative ideas, my innovative actions, and my innovative feelings. I advise you to go and take this workshop as it will launch your innovation from you. Thank you.”

“It was definitely inspiring to me because he drew in so many examples, not just general ones, but also from his own experience of being an innovator and creating something which has changed the world in a really huge way and it's not everyday that you get to hear speakers of his caliber come to Sri Lanka and give speeches. He connected with the audience really well.”


“Alexander’s Blass’s presentation was very helpful for us. We are looking forward to meeting him again in Saudi Arabia. I will surely advise my friends and colleagues to meet with him, and listen to his points and advice. Thanks a lot, Alexander!”

“I really enjoyed the talk today on innovation. It was amazing… after this talk I feel that the more people that tell me it’s crazy, that means it is the best idea I have. There were many thought provoking questions, and the wisdom shared by him was amazing.”


“The session was fantastic today. I was completely amazed by the session. In fact I can say I was inspired. Up to yesterday I was thinking in a different way, but now it has been changed in a new direction. It was a fantastic and worthwhile session. Thanks a lot!”


“He encouraged all the entrepreneurs of Colombia to think differently and outside of the box. It was a very good conference with a lot of knowledge that we are happy to receive from him. Thank you!”

We were listening to him like mad people biting our nails away for a whole 2 hours. We learned a lot of things from him. We should never quit on our dreams... he has made us learn what the true soul and meaning of an entrepreneur is."


"It was a very very nice seminar, we learned many things, how to implement my ideas. I recommend all students to come and learn from this seminar in the future. Thank you."


"During the 3-days, we have a good idea of how we can innovate, and how we can understand the new innovations... I want to thank him for his good knowledge he gave us, and good experience, that helped me also innovate in my field."

"It was very very inspiring, and I had often thought of starting up my own venture, but as of now I did not really have the guts or what it takes to innovate. What I learned was that I would rather try and fail rather than regret not trying... I would just say that it was a very cherishable experience, and I would love to attend any seminar conducted by him in the future."


"Today we had Alexander Blass present to us how we can implement our innovative ideas. It was really powerful and a great advantage for us. I hope you have this presentation from him."

“I have to say it was one of the most interesting seminars on innovation that I have attended… the case studies provided made it very interesting because you could actually link the material and real life… there was no snoozing which was a definite plus. You're definitely going to enjoy it. I would strongly recommend this course for anybody. You'd actually be making a very good investment by taking this seminar.”

“This is the first workshop that got my attention. It was a very interesting workshop thanks to Alexander Blass, full of interesting axioms, very fresh with ‘meat’ and great information. We learned a lot from it and it will help us bring out the passion from within that we have, into our daily lives.”

“I am here at IIT Bombay today to attend Alexander Blass’s incredible session on innovation. What I really liked about his speech is how human psychology plays a very critical role in arriving at those innovative breakthrough ideas… if I were distill everything he said through his 5 case studies, the crux is cognitive sciences… the takeaway is, it is not your technical domain expertise that drives innovation. It’s how you connect it to the people…”


“I am a senior financial analyst at the Civil Service Bureau. I have been attending the 3-day workshop… I was able to discover my innovative ideas, my innovative actions, and my innovative feelings. I advise you to go and take this workshop as it will launch your innovation from you. Thank you.”

“It was definitely inspiring to me because he drew in so many examples, not just general ones, but also from his own experience of being an innovator and creating something which has changed the world in a really huge way and it's not everyday that you get to hear speakers of his caliber come to Sri Lanka and give speeches. He connected with the audience really well.”


“Alexander’s Blass’s presentation was very helpful for us. We are looking forward to meeting him again in Saudi Arabia. I will surely advise my friends and colleagues to meet with him, and listen to his points and advice. Thanks a lot, Alexander!”

“I really enjoyed the talk today on innovation. It was amazing… after this talk I feel that the more people that tell me it’s crazy, that means it is the best idea I have. There were many thought provoking questions, and the wisdom shared by him was amazing.”


“The session was fantastic today. I was completely amazed by the session. In fact I can say I was inspired. Up to yesterday I was thinking in a different way, but now it has been changed in a new direction. It was a fantastic and worthwhile session. Thanks a lot!”


“He encouraged all the entrepreneurs of Colombia to think differently and outside of the box. It was a very good conference with a lot of knowledge that we are happy to receive from him. Thank you!”
