Futurist thinking is now a vital skill in our rapidly changing world. It not only helps us survive, but gives us the power to thrive, by helping us create opportunities within our personal lives and workplaces. In this timely talk, I teach audiences how to think like a futurist and turn trends into tangible results with accessible tools that can be applied to their day-to-day lives.

Audiences Will Learn:

• Why futurist thinking is imperative and the implications of not using it
• How to turn current trends and disruptions into tangible results that create impact
• Strategies to help secure a competitive advantage in their career or organization

As a former corporate executive turned futurist, I’ve spent the past few years researching the impact of technology and disruptive forces on our world. In my findings I’ve discovered that even though major disruptions are approaching us at lightning speed, it’s still possible for us to thrive.

In this talk that marries both theoretical and practical ideas, I offer three key strategies to help audiences prepare for and calmly navigate the chaos of the now and future.

Audiences Will Learn:

• What is currently at stake, and why “now” is the most powerful time for the future
• Outdated paradigms around strategy and work, and forward-thinking models that are imperative for success
• How to identify and design fulfilling opportunities despite the unknown

The pandemic was just a small taste of much greater disruptions coming our way. In the next decade we’re going to experience A CENTURY of change. Many of us barely survived the first round – proof that our old leadership models and strategies are no longer sustainable. If we want to not only survive, but thrive, we need to embody the practices of Regenerative Resilience. In this talk based on my groundbreaking new program, Regenerative Resilience, I guide audiences through three proven strategies that can be used to empower success in the face of disruption.

Audiences Will Learn:

• How resilience, when combined with regeneration, is a superior method to our old models of thinking
• The three components of Regenerative Resilience: clarity, fearlessness (not courage) and connection
• Practical steps to build and integrate these strategies into every aspect of their life.
