Imagining a future where our workplaces are more human-cantered and we can tap into our full cognitive potential - optimising our brain, our creativity and our potential. Why our Industrial Age organisations threaten our serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, centred brain waves, the clarity of our prefrontal cortex. our gut, our sleep, our breath.  It is time for a new workplace -- but how?

Toto, we are no longer in Kansas anymore. In the Integration Age, talent drives strategy. The Information Age has passed. Knowledge and therefore strategy quickly become a commodity that can easily be disocverable and passed between competitors across the world. The precious combination of AI, human creativity, customer enthralment, employee activism and laser-like continuous improvement5 is an outcome of getting the right talent loving what they do, whom they work with and where they work.

The Chief People Officer needs to sit at the right hand of the CEO and be the second most paid and powerful person in the organisation. This position will also be the final stepping stone to the road of CEO. The AI Age will force us to recognise that talent and culture are the two "assets" which cannot be copied. They are the two assets which have the potential to grow in value exponentially - if we know how to do it, and we focus on it. And the type of talent we need to develop looks nothing like any talent we trained for jobs that will no longer exist.

Fearless Leadership: How do we develop our brains to deal with the stress of the 2020's: A Neuroscientific Perspective to dealing with everyday situations at work that can derail us. We reflect on a four-part model of how the brain gets so easily fooled that we're facing a death threat at work -- and what we can do to retrain the mind. This includes an explanation of how the brain works in stress and an offering of the practical tips for catching our tricky minds at work - and retraining us into powerful leadership.

Between 1996 through 2000, I was head of Operational Integration Planning for the Sydney Olympics 2000. Over four years, I led in the translation of vision to strategy to implementation and to operations. The consulting and executive experience in strategy, talent, organisation, and leadership were built on these foundations. The Olympics is the most complex event in all of the world - 3000 paid staff, 60,000 volunteers, 70,000 contractors, 10,000 athletes, 5000 technical officials, 16,000 press, 3500 broadcast, 6.7 million tickets, 6000 km of cable, 850 magnetometers, 3000 cars, 500 golf cars, 3800 buses, 30,000 phones, 35 million pieces of paper . . . . t like paragraphs and descriptions. It's a great way to give people more information while keeping your layout clean. Link your text to anything, including an external website or a different page. You can set your text box to expand and collapse when people click, so they can read more or less info.

What exactly is “Culture” – a frequently used term that remains vague and unactionable for most executives – so, how do we define it, measure it, and improve it in the most down-to-earth way so that we love coming to work and can’t wait to contribute our potential. An engagement score from a survey taken online won’t cut it.

How to develop intuition—we are not born with it—we can develop it. We need it more than ever in a world that no longer makes any sense. Our ancient peoples had it, and we lost it in the hours we worked and the technology that has fascinated us. We have an opportunity to relearn it if we can partner well with artificial intelligence.

Applying Quantum Physics to Leadership and Culture – there are extraordinary, and UNDERSTANDABLE, insights that Quantum Physics brings to us for how to navigate the "Integration Age" where AI can complement human creativity. We reflect on the Uncertainty Theory, Quantum Entanglement, The Observer Effect, Potential and Possibility, Nonlinear thinking superposition and flexibility, energy and vibration, relativity of perspective, continuous change and adaptation, co-creation of reality -- and we translate these into everyday tips to adjust to a new world.

DIscovering two long lost arts in our society and our organisation: dialogue and storytelling. Going past he "crucial conversation" mechanics and into the heart-heart meets mind-to-mind. It is high time we let AI do its thing, and let us reclaim our ancient wisdom through the power of our word- and allowing connection of our people.

Vertical Leadership: moving from Intellectual Intelligence, to Emotional Intelligence, to Systemic Intelligence to Wisdom. Why our Leadership Development programs are failing us and what how we transform the way we develop leaders in this post-Information Age. It is not about adding more and more skills of doing. It is rediscovering more and more ways of being. We see this in some of our leaders, and we now have a way to describe the strength of their leadership. Hint: it is not IQ.

What worked for the Information Age will not work in the emerging Integration Age – how does the philosophy of spiral dynamics help us to see the next stage in societal and organisational evolution. What will be our role in this change? What will be our responsibility?

We underestimate the impact on others and results for the way we use our mind, the way we talk to ourselves, the way we focus the “washing machine” of our thoughts. How can we quiet the mind and choose the thoughts we want to listen to and stay clear on the intention we want to have. How do we navigate in a time of increasing confusion about the way the world is working and will work? How do we quiet the "monkey" mind we all have as humans so that we can take the next right step.

Here I provide an honest story of my own journey in mental health, and how this story has inspired so many other executives who have faced exactly the same challenges in all that they do. The rapidly deterioration of mental health in the workplace inspired me to train into a clinical psychotherapist, weaving this capability into my coaching in strategy, execution, culture and team.
