With our global economy still in the early stages of a ‘Big Shift,’ we are living in a world of exponentially expanding opportunity. I help companies and individuals look ahead to the future, to meet that opportunity, and I also inspire them to look within to understand what really motivates them and others. I was drawn to Silicon Valley in 1980 because of the massive sense of optimism and people with the drive to change the world. Over years of advising companies and other institutions as a strategist, I came to realize that long-term success is less about strategy and more about psychology – namely, understanding the emotions that drive us. My goal is to help leaders engage around fundamental issues, find more effective ways of integrating personal development, and drive the evolution of their environments to achieve their full potential. I work with companies from all over the world, to widen the field of vision to anticipate opportunities that can be leveraged, build excitement, and cultivate emotions that will help people achieve more impact and more meaning.A widely published and quoted thought leader, I have been featured in major business publications like The Economist, Fortune, Forbes, Business Week, Financial Times and Wall Street Journal as well as the New York Times, NBC, and BBC. I have been a Keynote Speaker and at World Economic Forum, Microsoft CEO Summit, World Technology Summit, Wharton, Stanford, Harvard Business School, TED, Singularity University, and more.I’m excited to lead the transformation for individuals and institutions that hunger for impact, are seeking to creating new knowledge together through action, and want to leverage these insights to deliver more value to all stakeholders.
