Radical Intelligence: The Changing Nature of Work in the Age of Smart Intelligence

Target Audience: C-Suite executives, Emerging Leaders, HR Leaders and practitioners, All Staff Gatherings

The way we work will change more profoundly between now and the end of the decade than it has since the great depression until now. We have entered the age of smart intelligence.

Our ability to learn, unlearn and relearn at the speed of technological change will be our greatest asset and competitive advantage. Amplifying our humanity is what will separate us from machines. We need to become adaptable learners if we want to ensure we have longevity in this fast paced evolution of work.

We can learn a tremendous amount from our First Nations people about what it takes to be adaptable learners and what better way to learn than from a traditional custodian who brings tribal LORE and Cultural Knowledge 65,000 years in the making into today's workplaces. No one leaves this keynote the same way they came in.

Key Takeaways:

• What the age of smart intelligence will change about the way we work.
• The intelligence required to succeed in the age of smart intelligence.
• How to become an adaptable learner.
• A tribal perspective of Listen, Connect and Learn that is more relevant today than it has been in 250 years.
