KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Todd is a leading expert on adaptability and managing the transition in a complex and unpredictable global economy.
Most economists focus their efforts on PREDICTING the future. That’s 20th century thinking. Because today’s economy is so volatile and uncertain, the forecast is going to be wrong. Rather than predicting, I believe effort is better spent PREPARING for any possible economic outcome.
Keynotes tailored to your audience
Empower your audience with insights and strategies to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Understand the Macro Disruptors
The economy is a volatile and unpredictable place – especially now. Tariffs are upending the global trade order that dominated the past 75 years. Geopolitics, financial market instability, extreme weather events, government debt and technology are radically reshaping the economic landscape. While we can’t change any of these, we can get a better understanding of how they are affecting industries.
Tools to Navigate the Chaos
A chaotic world – where events are volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous – are leaving business leaders feeling anxious and vulnerable. The good news is that there are tools we can put into place to help us navigate the turmoil. These tools are practical, actionable steps that leaders can use with their teams. The chaos doesn’t go away, but we can find stability and calm nonetheless.
Traits of Successful Adapters
What happens when NASA scientists take spiders into zero gravity? The result is both surprising and creative! Inspired by the spiders’ story, my research into successful human adaptors – businesses, non-for-profits and individuals – reveals a collection of common traits and habits. By studying these traits and putting them into action, business leaders will be better prepared to adapt quickly and successfully when crisis strikes.
