Outside of his consulting work, Rohit also teaches his popular signature course on storytelling and marketing at Georgetown University in Washington DC and has been invited to deliver guest lectures at many other prestigious schools including Stanford and Wharton. For the past 16 years Rohit has also been writing his personal “Influential Marketing Blog” which has been featured in global media and named one of the top 25 marketing blogs in the world by AdAge magazine.

On a personal level, Rohit is married and lives with his wife and two young boys in the Washington DC area. He is a lifelong fan of anything having to do with the Olympics (he’s been to five so far and really looking forward to the next one, whenever it happens!) and actively avoids anything having to do with cauliflower (yuck!). Outside of work, Rohit believes that the most entertaining and impactful job he will ever have is being a great dad and teaching his sons to be kind when no one expects it, curious about the things others take for granted, and confident enough to change the world.

Afterward: How Non-Obvious Thinking Can Make You More Resilient and Ready For What Comes Next
When every day seems to bring more disruption, it’s hard to know where to focus. The more things change, the less likely it seems that we’ll ever get back to business as usual. Is there a reason for optimism right now? No one really knows. But we do know that the people and companies who will be more resilient and emerge from this chaos to be stronger than before will be the ones who can keep a strategic eye focused on tomorrow instead of just reacting for today. In this candid session, bestselling author and storyteller Rohit Bhargava will share how you can use the principles of non-obvious thinking to see opportunities others don’t, be more resilient and prepare for an uncertain future, no matter what comes next.
