Speaking
Looking for a dynamic, fun, thought-provoking and engaging speaker for your event, group or organization?
As a generalist, I love applying perennial and cutting edge concepts across a variety of topics and domains.
My core focus is on meaning and relating, and on frameworks that allow people to be more conscious and creative – resulting in a richer experience of life, and more efficiency and effectiveness in an organizational context.
Vital Innovation
Beyond creating and bringing product to market, vital innovation is about introducing visions that move us toward a better future.
Below a talk I gave recently at Sony introducing the topic:
Relating and 4th Circuit Activation
- Universe and You – The Joy of Relating is a topic I have been playing with that presents new heuristics for human relating applicable to any relationship, personal or professional.
Below is the link to a video of a version of the talk I presented last year:
- Intimacy and the Art of Relating is a brief introductory talk I gave applying esoteric concepts as a framework for romantic relationships.
Below is a link to a brief video introduction:
Intimacy and the Art of Relating - 4th Circuit Relating – Things to consider before we meld with the machines… - a talk I am currently preparing that deals with activation of relational intelligence as a necessity before we further integrate toward Singularity.
Conscious Creativity
- What is Conscious Creativity? - An introduction to the concept of conscious creativity and to a new way of approaching meaning.
- Creating Meaning in a (seemingly) Meaningless World – How to relieve any victim thinking and begin to create order in your universe
