Speech Topics
From Rhetoric to Reality: The Business of Sustainability
Powerful forces are reshaping the modern landscape in which leaders now operate, ushering in a new era of business that places environmental stewardship and social equity at the centre. Greater expectation is on businesses and leaders to reframe their company’s role in society and navigate the intersection of environmental, social and governance forces. How can businesses take this bold new wave of commitments from rhetoric to reality and create value along the way?
Harnessing technology and innovation for the planet
Technology has the potential to both extend and enrich our experience of life on earth and unlock new solutions to society’s most pressing environmental challenges, or conversely, to widen inequalities and pose existential threats to society. How do we navigate this intersection of two modern phenomena: nature's destruction and technology's growth?
Redefining Leadership: The Power, Voice and Impact of Young & Diverse Voices
Why, in our conversations about corporate leadership, do we not talk more about the power, voice and impact of young people? These voices are consistently underestimated and disregarded. If we want to know the skills, traits and qualities of an effective leader today and in the future, we need to look towards and share power with young and diverse people. They are not the leaders of tomorrow. They are the leaders of today. And they are shaping our society in profound ways.
The New Leadership Landscape: The Moral and Economic Importance of DEI
A signal has been sent to leaders: That is, Diversity, social inclusion, and environmental stewardship are key determinants of a leader's (and businesses) ability to sink or swim. The dominant paradigm that traditionally excluded women, culturally diverse people, Indigenous peoples and young and marginalized people is coming to an end.
In this time of massive transition, a time when many of us are leading despite the obstacles that face women - particularly marginalised women, we have a unique opportunity to help create an environment that fosters inclusion and shares power with others.
