Future Proof Leadership

What can leaders practically do today to be ready for the future? On how to navigate the polycrisis, ride the next wave of digitalisation, embrace new ways of working, increase trust and take care of the planet and themselves?

The Future of Work

What are the practical implications of the future of work? How much flexible / WFH / remote / hybrid / metaverse work are we going to do? And how to attract the next generation of workers: what does the talent of the future want? How to attract and keep them?

The Human Side of Technology

How will people respond to future technologies? How can leaders get themselves and their people to rationally and emotionally embrace new technology? And what is the perfect balance between the virtual and the physical?

Navigating the Polycrisis

It is time to envision how human behaviour will change the coming years now that society is hit by a so-called ‘polycrisis’: where several crises in a row (Covid, Ukraine, inflation, recession & the climate crisis) shake up society and rattle our mental wellbeing. How does this affect our behaviour? Decision-making? And leadership?

Generation Z: Collaborative Action

Gen Z is making quite an impact! How do they differ from older generations? And how to create a thriving collaborative multi-generational work place where their entrepreneurialism and their action mindset can thrive?

The Future of the Planet

The 2010’s were mostly about raising awareness, the 2020’s are all about Action with a capital A. So what can organisations practically DO right now to make a real impact (without being cancelled)? How should leaders approach this topic? How can an organisational purpose be aligned with the personal purposes of its employees stakeholders and clients?

Mental Surplus

The topic of mental health is rapidly becoming as ‘normal’ as physical health. Employees are actively looking for mental health resources at work and see their manager as one of these resources. Any future proof leader should start working on a mental surplus today with a focus on empathy skills and emotional intelligence.
