  • Personal letter from your Future Self – a written message back to “you today”, surfacing insights, values, and quiet realisations.​

  • Polak Game – an embodied group exercise revealing each person’s natural stance toward the future (optimistic, pessimistic, powerful, powerless) and how to harness it.​

  • Trends Radar – a dynamic, movement-based exploration of critical global trends, surfacing where participants may have blindspots.

Benefits

  • An enhanced sense of personal and collective agency.​

  • Awareness of which trends they are tuned into… and which they may be missing.

About the Host

I am unusual in enabling people and businesses develop far-reaching insights into both their inner worlds and the wider world in which they are building their future. I have specialised for over 15 years in transformative processes supporting empowered mindsets and resilient strategies in challenging and conflict-affected contexts. I draw on extensive experience as a member of the Association of Professional Futurists, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, and Founder-Director of the futures thinking agency Flux Compass, as well as author of two progressive books on business strategy and culture with Palgrave Macmillan: 'The Brand Strategist's Guide to Desire' and 'The Innovation-Friendly Organization'. I can help you build preparedness for disruption and finding constructive ways forward. I have worked with corporates and multilateral groups, in universities, business schools and with multilateral organizations across the world, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, the UK and Europe. I have a 1st-class degree from Oxford University and a Master's in Gender and Comparative Politics from SOAS, London.

Client Requirements

I meet clients where they are (literally!) through highly tailored experiences. Sometimes a projector and mic is useful, but I have also delivered workshops outside. I mostly use circle formats or breakout tables, and additional floor space to bring in movement is always an advantage. Good natural lighting also supports creative thinking.
