      • We live in a fast changing world with disruptive technologies and challenges in health, finance, climate, nature and beyond! How can we help our teams and communities manage this speed of change whilst staying focused, positive and motivated?

        Maybe I can help...

        I've been on a 20 year adventure building communities & businesses that make a positive impact. I love sharing what I've learnt & how we can all play a part in making a better future. I have been lucky to deliver 500+ keynotes, workshops and event hosting around the world.

        I've worked with corporates like Samsung, ASML, Network Rail and Virgin as well as big brands like Airbnb, Tony's Chocolonely & Fiverr. I've also been invited to many schools, clubs, communities including a mosque on an island in Myanmar and a CIA conference in Las Vegas!

        I've consistently received positive feedback about the energy, stories and insights I bring which have led to changes implemented, connections made and even some giant leaps.

        Tribe Building

        How building community will make a difference to your work and the world.

        Community is not marketing tactic or an 'add-on'. It has to be centre to all that we do. From eco-villages to book clubs, from career change schools to impact festivals - what I've learnt about what works and how powerful it can be when you bring people together. The secret to a strong community? Trust. I'll share the 5 'R's of community building.

        AI for Good?

        How is AI being used already in solutions to the climate and nature crises?

        How do we embrace 'the coming wave' of AI whilst minimising/maximising our impact?


        What about potentially massive increases in water and energy use of AI?

        How do we increase human connection to each other and nature in the age of AI?

        Rebel Book Club

        What reading 120 books with 10,000 people taught us about work and life.

        'Tsundoku' - the Japanese word for the growing pile of unread books on your bedside table. You too? Curious minds welcome as we start a new kind of book club and way to learn together.

        "One day the world will come to Vorovoro!"

         

        "I met you when I was 7 on Vorovoro Island. I wasn't old enough to appreciate it but the experience easily became the most important of my life. I'm now in my second year of my Environmental Management Degree and I've been obsessed with protecting our natural world since being on the island ." Robbie Cale
