Your talk was provocative in offering a new dimension of best practice for attendees here to consider. With most people participating in events like ours to learn something new, and to take away something they can consider applying “back at the ranch”, you hit that one out of the park.

Reimagining Our Tomorrows:
Creating a Future that is Sustainable, Abundant and Equitable
Everywhere you look, from mainstream media to your social media feed, the headlines scream warnings about the future that awaits us:
Technology has already stolen your privacy
Digital addiction is destroying your ability to think
Automation is going to take your job
Climate change is threatening your very existence
It’s easy to see why you might want to just curl up on your sofa and binge-watch shows from your childhood when life was simpler.
Even if you don’t believe the future is completely bleak, you very likely suffer from a constant feeling that it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with what’s coming next. It’s true; we live in a world where change is happening so fast,it threatens to outpace our imagination.
I want to help you reimagine our tomorrows; to show you that we are living in a time when the possibility of creating a better future has never been greater.
In this keynote, we’ll take a deep dive into the massive disruptions that are affecting businesses, communities, and governments to understand the forces that are driving these changes. We’ll get beyond the shiny new technologies and frightening forecasts to help you see this age of accelerating change in a different light. Armed with these insights you can imagine how this tsunami of change can lead to a future that is sustainable, abundant and equitable.
This keynote is not just another recitation of trend data and statistics. Sure, it is packed with timely information, but its main purpose is to inspire and empower. I will show you how to use the power of critical imagination and foresight to shape a better future for yourself, your organization and community.
The future does not exist. It is not some destination waiting for us to show up. We have more opportunities today than ever before to shape our futures. The question is how will you use those tools? What future do you want to create?
This is the perfect presentation for mission-driven business leaders, community changemakers, nonprofits and government agencies. It is equally useful for those groups who have already embarked on their transformative journey toward the future and those who find themselves uncertain how to navigate the swirling currents of disruption.
