The Future of Now: 3 Strategies to Prepare in a Period of Accelerated Change
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:
- What is currently at stake, and why “now” is the most powerful time for the future

Regenerative Resilience: Thriving During Uncertainty
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.
Audiences Will Learn:
- How resilience, when combined with regeneration, is a superior method to our old models of thinking
- The three components of Regenerative Resilience: clarity, fearlessness (not courage) and connection
- Practical steps to build and integrate these strategies into every aspect of their life.
