Beyond the Default
A Quest Beckons
The artist-philosopher and mystic James Lee Byars once said: “To arrive at the edge of the world’s knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves.”
This keynote will move your audience to the edge of knowledge (and perhaps a smidge beyond.)
As your event’s wizard, I manifest to evoke the right questions in your audience. I also provide the counter-conventional frameworks that enable folks to quest amidst emerging domains.
Exquisitely honed to open minds and inspire curiosity, courage and collaboration—this keynote will have your audience actively engaged with each other and bring about the you-had-to-be-there magic of your event. Even your most sceptical people will find themselves enthusiastically engaged; leaning in, warmed to the opportunity at hand.
Into the Storm
The Future of Leadership
The future is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and full of doubt. Many think that the way to handle this is to artificially impose stability, certainty, simplicity, clarity and conviction. This is the domestication of leadership; something that only serves in stable, unchanging domains.
But true leadership lives in the wild. We must learn to thrive amidst change.
This keynote unpacks key emerging trends in this time of accelerated change, and showcases the sensibilities that allow for coordination amidst complexity at scale. Your people will be both vexed and inspired to lead (without permission).
Note: this is Dr. Fox in his trickster form. Expect thoughtful provocations rather than familiar platitudes. Dr. Fox will give your leaders the intellectual spanking they deserve (with cheek)—so that they might rise to the true leadership challenges ahead.
Change the Game
Make Clever Happen
The true measure of the impact of your event is not just in how people feel in the moment, or immediately after. It’s in what happens in the weeks, months and years that follow. In this interactive and engaging keynote, we will have your audience mindfully distill the inklings, hunches, realisations, connections and insights generated by your event into the steps conducive to meaningful progress.
With insights from motivation science and game design, and the wit of a wizard philosopher, we can ensure your event is a resounding success.
