Speaking
Over the years, I have spoken to dozens of audiences at venues ranging from large industry conferences to leadership offsites to teen workshops.
I like to mix stories and demos, and my aim is to inspire bolder thinking and offer practical tools that anyone can use.
“Your presentation gave many of them new thoughts! That is the best start for new actions.”
Popular talks include:
Building a Moonshots Mindset
Lessons and Tips from Visionary Groups
Bringing Moonshot Thinking into our Organization
Creating a Culture of Radical Innovation
How to Turn Strategic Foresight into Innovation
“Your keynote was fantastic! It set the tone for the whole day!”
