  I love what I do. Every day I have the opportunity to speak to or work with people who are hungry to adapt, change and stay relevant. Although I often get the 'futurist'​ label at conferences and in the media, I like to think of myself as more of an organizational strategist. Whether it's a Fortune 500 Company or a small family-owned business, there is no greater thrill than seeing the empowering moment of realisation when a client or audience member can see a path forward that they… Show more I love what I do. Every day I have the opportunity to speak to or work with people who are hungry to adapt, change and stay relevant. Although I often get the 'futurist'​ label at conferences and in the media, I like to think of myself as more of an organizational strategist. Whether it's a Fortune 500 Company or a small family-owned business, there is no greater thrill than seeing the empowering moment of realisation when a client or audience member can see a path forward that they hadn't recognised before. To play a small part in making that moment happen is a privilege I don't take lightly. A great deal of my time is spent travelling and presenting at conferences, however I do love the research and book-writing process. My latest book is called "The Case for Character" and it examines the latest consumer trends data and highlights why transparency, trust and clarity of purpose are increasingly essential for any business or institution. This books something of a blueprint for becoming an individual, brand or organisation that stands for something - and reaps the rewards of doing so.

  This was my first job out of university and was a fascinating insight into the fast-moving world of software. Every day I was crafting IT solutions for real estate agents who were, at the time, largely resistant to technology. It was a great insight into the psychology of change and a lot of fun.
