KEYNOTES AND PANELS: SEE AND SHAPE THE FUTURE
WATCH 100’S OF KEYNOTES . CHANGE YOUR WORLD VIEW .
I have the great privilege of speaking to organisations and their audiences about the future and participating in conversations that help shape it, and while I am an eternal humanist and optimist who works hard to discover and present solutions to our world’s most pressing issues I am also a realist. Here you can play, pause, and rewind the sessions I’ve had the privilege of being involved with.
OPINION PIECES: LOVE IT, LOATHE IT
Everyone has their own opinions on matters and I’m no different. I believe all opinions are important and have the right to be voiced, and firmly believe in the values of debate, diversity, and open mindedness, because being closed to any of these diminishes all of us in the long run. Here you can explore some of those opinions and points of view.
PODCASTS: LISTEN, LEARN, REFLECT
Technology development and societal rates of change are now so fast that often the best way to keep current with them all is via podcasts so I contribute as much as I can. You can hear all of the replays here.
