It has never been more important than now for leaders and entrepreneurs to craft and deliver compelling future narratives. In an age where the only certainty is radical uncertainty, customers and talent are looking for a future-oriented signal in the noise. Your delivery - both in the analogue and digital worlds - and ability to win hearts and minds is a key determinant of your success as a leader today and tomorrow.
As a global futurist, author and keynote speaker, I have spoken for clients like McKinsey, Citibank, Jaguar Land Rover, Cisco, Apple, Gilead, Gartner, MINI and Lego, and events ranging from the G20s Y20 Summit, to TEDx and the Million Dollar Roundtable - across 4 continents. We have created digital assets like white papers, videos series, and slide decks and acted in a brand spokesperson/advocacy role for clients like Visa, ING, Zurich, Microsoft, ANZ and Facebook to help amplify their brands and provide a futurist ‘halo-effect’.
Importantly, I have also had the opportunity to mentor and coach thought leaders and entrepreneurs on their own strategic science fiction storytelling. For the last decade, I have helped co-design leadership conferences - both analogue and virtual - and co-curate TED-style presentations by corporate leaders and entrepreneurs, sharing my knowledge and insights as a professional presenter and futurist. Engaging in the daily task of decoding the future, analysing data-based patterns, and sharing science fiction stories of the future has provided me with a unique experience and lens with which to view presentations and pitches, and sharing these experiences with leaders who have participated in our executive storytelling mentoring - from S&P100 CEOs, Management Consultancy Partners, and Young President Organisation (YPO) members to emerging corporate leaders has helped provide paradigm shifts in our clients’ abilities to hold their space and craft compelling narratives and stories that win hearts and minds.
My passion lies in enabling human transformation. Transformation which can only happen when new ideas are presented in a way which wins both hearts and minds. Enabling that spark of change from great oratory and cinematic presentations is an art and a science and I look forward to exploring whether we can partner on your own storytelling transformation journey.
"The digital and the analogue have to be able to seamlessly co-exist in the future."
