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:
As a former corporate executive turned futurist, Elatia has 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:
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.
