SPEAKING
To date, I’ve spoken at more than 1,500 major conferences and similar events. Everything from major convenings like World Economic Forum summits in Davos and Dalian, China, through to high-octane boardroom sessions and talks to universities, business schools and village halls.
PUBLICATIONS
No single skill has shaped my working life more than writing—and I’ve been fortunate enough to be involved in the publication of many books, reports and articles. My latest books are Tickling Sharks (Fast Company Press, June 2024) and Green Swans (Fast Company Press, April 2020).
JOURNAL
I’ve been an energetic blogger since 2003—and in this space, once again, my entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. This website and the associated blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.
