Born Human: Why Being Curious, Creative, & Connected Will Future-Proof You and Your Business.

Greg urges you to develop curiosity, rather than fear. To consciously develop positive emotional and cognitive responses to disruption. To rekindle your creativity—and the creativity of those around you. And, to emotionally connect with your inner purpose: The 'why?' behind the 'what' and the 'how' of what you do. These intrinsically human capabilities will help you to survive, and thrive, in a world where change is the new normal.

Answer: You need to experiment. This session explains how to design and deliver individual and team experiments in an organisational environment.
