What a session!!! Day 10 of The Leading Man Summit was very impactful Thank you Leader Lanre Oladipo for opening my eyes to new realities and for sharing your story with us. You gave me hope and awakened the lion in me. I believe that dreams still come true. In fact, I dare to dream again. As you said yesterday, everything is possible irrespective of our backgrounds. You said investing in oneself is the best investment ever and I believe you. These key points went deep into my soul; 1- I need to be extremely hard working 2-I need to be extremely resilient because the pathway to success is not linear. 3- I need to have the right character 4-I need to focus on solving problems then money will follow 5- I need to put the best interest of clients above any financial gain because trust is crucial. It's the dawning of a new day. Thank you Dr. Mike Oladipo for the opportunity to be part of this historic summit.

We've kicked off 2024 by sitting together to take a moment to reflect on 2023. We celebrated our collective achievements, we discussed both successes and challenges, and what we can take forward by way of change and opportunities to improve in 2024 and beyond. What we're most excited for is that we've determined our motto for 2024: speaking truth to power! 💪 We want to be here to help our clients represent and elevate the voice of the people they're trying to connect with. Doing that involves myth-busting and tackling some of the hard truths. Are you ready? We are! #NewYearResolutions #TruthWithDiplomacy

Gratitude in advance for your help. Only 2 more days left to vote! WHY is it important to me to present at SXSW? SXSW is one of those iconic conferences- a win for a speaker with a passion and an idea that can change the world. It's about innovative ideas, interesting people, and inspired change. The people you meet tend to be both open minded and action oriented. A beautiful combination! I have a concept- research based, purpose driven, and results proven. A model that businesses can use to expand humanity. One that can simultaneously engage their people and increase their customer loyalty. The topic is The Profitability of Purpose: How Humanity Drives Success. Click on the link to learn more...and to VOTE. I would greatly appreciate it! (Note that you will be asked to register to vote and verify to avoid duplication. It really doesn't take long but ensures fairness in the voting process) "From electrifying performances that echo through legendary venues to the unparalleled networking opportunities that reverberate behind the scenes, SXSW is more than just a festival – it's an immersive tapestry of inspiration and ingenuity."

I had the opportunity last Friday to moderate a panel, "Dual Use: Myth or Reality," last week at the inaugural @European Defense Investor Network summit in Madrid last Friday. This invitation only conference organized by Eric Slesinger (Black Opal alum) and founder of @201 Ventures featured a number of high profile guests including the CTO of the CIA and Alex Younger (former head of MI6). I had the pleasure of moderating an all-female panel featuring the brilliant Hélène Huby of The Exploration Company and Ilana Wisby of Oxford Quantum Circuits—two DeepTech women founders dedicated to using DeepTech to solve the world's problems and, in their words, spread peace and love—words of course one might not to expect to hear at a defense tech conference. It was a great example of how female leadership and diversity can break status quo thinking. I continue to believe DeepTech can solve the world's biggest challenges, but indeed to do so we cannot continue to back only the same profile of investors, CEOs, and founders we have backed in the past. #buildingbrillianttomorrows #changetheratio

https://lnkd.in/grwNEBJH The M4 Summit reminds men and women that it is okay to not be okay! It's not about being negative, only speaking/thinking positively or simply praying. It's about being and keeping it real, something we do not see, hear or encounter often. Perhaps the reason we do not understand others is because we do not offer space to be courageously authentic, without judgment and condemnation! The M4 Summit says timeout for pretending, suppressing tears/emotions, making excuses, overly extending grace, conforming, not accepting responsibility, avoiding holding others accountable and shifting accountability/blame. These very acts may be seen as man upping, but too many MAN UPs can lead to MAN DOWN! The M4 Summit is for men and women, September 22 - 24, 2023. Content will be accessible for an entire week following the summit!

I want to thank Accelerant Research for the opportunity to speak last week on Customer Advisory Boards. Specifically, I want to thank Bill McDowell for the invitation and Niyathi S. for being an excellent facilitator. The 3 key takeaways about Customer Advisory Boards I would say are: 1. Get your Senior Leadership team involved early and communicate often throughout the lifecycle of your board. This builds support and reception to the feedback of your participants within the organization. 2. Have a single point of contact communicate and manage your board. A central point for your board members creates efficiency and eliminates confusion on who to contact when there are questions. 3. Create a process for recruitment, communication, and refreshing your board up-front. You can't predict what the future holds, but through organization and planning, you can be better prepared for the unknowns. #customerinsights #researchcommunity #customerfeedback

Goodbye #cta2024, goodbye #Paris! An inspiring congress comes to an end😅. 3 intense days packed full of ideas and exciting discussions with colleagues from all over the world. 🎤One of the most important topics we discussed was the idea of our visitors and how cultural institutions can attract and include new audiences like GenZ. ✨Visitors first! This is certainly no secret, but in german museums in particular, we still -too often- assume that we can reach young people almost automatically. Curatorial thinking takes centre stage and our visitors are „allowed“ to participate. 💡The main lessons I learned about this: -authenticity is crucial -it is a journey that takes years -transparency where you are and where you want to go -there is no silver bullet. Nevertheless it has to be done and can be done -include the perspective of the target group -internal culture is the key -dialogue with the community you are trying to reach Thanks to Corinne Estrada and her whole team for the great organization and that you helped us navigate between 4 fantastic venues. You kept calm even in the worst Paris traffic 👌 Communicating the Arts #cta2024 #paris

This week was the Inner Development Goals Summit 2023, with some great presentations. Especially liked Phoebe Tickell's presentation on moral imagination; imagination activism; getting out of the fish tank and into the ocean; and ancestral, collective, and generational connection.

Moving beyond foresight that exists in service to the "fish tank" and moving into the collective, cooperative, and collaborative consciousness that unlocks our "anticipatory imagination" - the cooperative evolutionary trait of perceiving emerging novelty that fosters co-creative transformational realities - is what we do at our 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩!
