Speaker Dom Price Type Live Conversation About this conversation Innovation is the buzzword of the moment, and let’s be honest, as an economy and society, we’re pretty terrible at it. So let’s dissect, talk myths, and then talk action. More About The Speaker Born to Joy in the harsh Manchester winter of '77. Well travelled, slight maverick who always speaks his mind. Currently, the Team Doctor and Head of R&D at Atlassian, the Australian tech company that breaks the mould. Conversation Notes - Innovation exists in the right environment: we need to create the space, time and freedom to explore that. - Most organisations dangle the carrot, but they stop people getting it. - Experiment and engage in your pursuits to overcome the barriers. - Organisations need to match the right people with the right environment – and that’s a two-way process. - The challenge for diversity is finding the right proxities, without making it tokenist. - The key to a successful and high performing team is balance. - Selfless leadership: the best leaders are creating leaders, who are creating leaders.

Recorded live from 200 George, Soren Trampedach chats with best-selling author, commentator and presenter, Jamila Rizvi about the transformation of leadership in the new world of work, as well as the human capacity for resilience and the need for belonging.
Host - Jon Yeo – Head of Curation, TEDxMelbourne Speakers - Yasmin Poole (Youth Advocate), Kyle Redman (newDemocracy Foundation) and Andrea Carson (Political Scientist & Journalist What is Democracy? Recently we've seen democracy take some wild and extraordinary turns. With left and right politics looking more similar than different, it has allowed extreme politics and the vocal minority to hold the interest of the community. Whether we like it or not, it has forced us to think about democracy and wonder if it works in most countries. Has traditional democracy become complacent? Are the needs of the people now too complex for democracy to truly understand the community's needs and respond quickly? We ask the question - What IS democracy today and does it actually meet our needs? With so much news and opinion coming from social media and a few media networks, who has the responsibility in curating these extreme views and yet still allow the vigorous conversations required of a modern democracy?…

Speakers Tamara DiMattina, Olivia Tyler, Tonia Bastyan Type Live Conversation About this conversation “Emerging economies can’t follow the rulebook of the past by forging a path to industrialisation using fossil-fuel technologies”.1 Climate Change is real and inevitable, and business as usual is over. How do we save the planet, and make sure growth continues to lift billions out of poverty? How do we move forward in a clean, green way? “Society is becoming more and more eco-conscious, demanding ethical practices, responsible behaviour and innovation to cut excess. And in response, brands are creating products, services, packaging, and new systems that are as desirable and functional as they are eco-friendly.” 2 We are now on the cusp of quite an exciting tipping point where investors, customers and the broader community are expecting and (rewarding!) those organisations and brands that are operating well and support regeneration: “restoring ecosystems, rebalancing our climate, and building economies that thrive, while allowing people and the planet to thrive, too.”2 In this interactive panel, we discuss how brands are playing a decisive role in creating a new sustainable way of doing business and find out how your business can join the only way forward.

Speaker JoAnna Ferrari Type Live Conversation About this conversation In the face of uncertainty and risk, how do we respond to change and challenges? How do we grow our confidence and abilities to achieve our goals and desires? According to JoAnna Ferrari – “The Transition Specialist” -, it is about tapping into what she’s called “The Champions Mind”: the ability to instantaneously accessing all your resources and come up with the right response and resolutions. We all have this Champions Mind within us – always have – what keeps us stuck and unable to use it when we need it, is listening to our other mind, our scared learned mind. So many of us crush our own dreams, we shy away from opportunity and reduce our own ability to go after the things we really want in our lives. But what if we could simply break this pattern? What if we can literally free ourselves to grow, win and succeed at anything even in the toughest of situations? What if the quickest way to face change and beat fear is by learning to change and adjust you, not the situation? More About The Speaker JoAnna Ferrari, ‘The Transition Specialist’, has transitioned or reinvented herself over 21 times during her life. She has transitioned from child to entrepreneur at 15, from sales to executive at 34, from executive to international speaker at 38, moving her life and family from Chicago to Australia at 46 to be the CEO of a major business. None of these transitions would be as big a change or challenge as she encountered at 53 in her gender transition from male to female. JoAnna Ferrari teaches audiences how to harness the power of transitions with models and formulas she designed called ’Trans-Behavioural Science’ developed from drawing on her 30 plus years as a successful business leader combined with her incredible life experiences. JoAnna has consulted business over 140 countries, has been the interim CEO and executive of corporations in three countries and has 17 years as a professional speaker around the world.

Speaker Suzanne Boccalatte Type Live Conversation About this conversation We’re living in a time of unrivalled connectivity with near limitless access to information at our fingertips—this is an attention-grabbing culture and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. It’s been said we now suffer from constant restlessness, feeling that we need to do more, to move faster and break things to succeed. This is the heart of our modern times. Have we lost the ability to slow down and find pause and concentrate—essential to be creative and successful? The solution is not unwavering pure focus, but our ability to learn how to manage the distractions around us. We need to practice this both online and offline. We will always find things to distract us, whether it was the television last century, the Internet or something else in the future. Today we are suspicious of the pause, and often see it as unnecessary or self-indulgent, as opposed to being essential to finding balance and resilience. Yet our greatest art, music and ideas for every technological breakthrough — originated here in those moments of unencumbered contemplation and concentrated attentiveness. Now try it for yourself, pause and smell the flowers, I dare you. More About The Speaker Suzanne Boccalatte has led a multifaceted creative life as a designer, artist, educator, publisher and writer. She is Professor Art & Design at UNSW. In 1990 she founded Boccalatte, an award-winning design practice, working with some of Australia’s most significant cultural and arts brands, with a mission to create work that encourages curiosity, foster culture and enrich society. She publishes and co-edits Trunk—an award-winning compendium with contributors from the global creative community, the next volume is on ‘Breath’. Suzanne has always enjoyed working in the cultural and creative industries where shifts in attitudes and mindsets emerge first. Conversation Notes - Attention is a resource, and we only have so much of it. We’ve become suspicious of the pause instead of embracing it. - The technological revolution has promised us more time, but now we’re busier than ever. - We feel that we’re in a constant state of restlessness, in a world with a deep sense of fragmentation and isolation. - We need to learn to be alone, without feeling like we’re lonely. - Our best ideas and thoughts come from our own company, when we’re in deep consciousness. “For us to be truly successful and be amongst ourselves, we need to take more pause. We need to pay attention to our experiences and our senses.” - Suzanne Boccalatte Suzanne's Linkedin: Suzanne Boccalatte Suzanne's Website: boccalatte.com Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

1 Ep 33: The Coder vs The Predictor: How The Brain Drives Focus - Dr Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd 50:27
Speaker Dr Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd Type Live Conversation About this conversation How do we make sense of reality and how does our brain process the world around us? The answer to these questions may not be as simple or straightforward as you think. During this Florence Guild conversation Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath will take us on trip through the brain, shedding light on the power of stories to drive our perception and focus; and how we can change them in order to beneficially guide our own (and others’) focus. The ideas explored during this session can help advertisers better grab attention, branders build stronger memories, and trainers better impact their students & clients. More About The Speaker Jared Cooney Horvath (PhD, MEd) is an expert in the field of Educational Neuroscience with a focus on human learning, memory, and attention. He has conducted research and lectured at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, the University of Melbourne, and over 100 schools internationally. Jared has published 5 books, over 30 research articles, and his work has been featured in numerous popular publications, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, WIRED, The Economist, and ABC’s Catalyst. He currently serves as Director of LME Global: a team dedicated to bringing the latest in brain and behavioural research to businesses and organisations. Conversation Notes - The stories we use to make sense of the world – in terms of how it works or how it functions – drive who we are and how we live. - These stories drive our perceptions, rather than the other way around. - This is the fundamental power of focus. - The concepts we use affect the coder in our brain, which affects the character in our body. - Our concepts not only affect the way we see things, but what those things mean to us. “You can literally see, feel and hear the world the way you think it should exist, not the way it actually exists” - Dr Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd Jared's Linkedin: Jared Cooney Horvath Jared's Twitter: @JCHorvath Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Michel Hogan Type Live Conversation About this conversation Brand is stuck in a time warp of thinking as “ing” or “re” dominated by marketing and advertising models and interests. This does not help organisations to sustainably navigate the complex relationship between what they do, how they do it and why they do it. Let’s begin with a mind-shift about a brand as a result of the promises you keep. Of all an organization’s (or individual’s) actions and decisions. Built on a foundation of their purpose and values. And delivered through people’s experience. Because when you take what you care about and use it to help shape the promises you make, you’re more likely to keep them. When you put your purpose to work in even the unheroic actions and decisions, they’re more likely to reflect it and become reasons to believe. So, what promises are you making and how are you keeping them? More About The Speaker Michel Hogan is an independent thinker and adviser. After 15 years in the US, Michel returned to Australia where she continues her practice helping individuals and organisations make promises they can keep and keep the promises they make with a robust, resilient brand as the result. Michel is a regular contributor and sought-after commentator on brand, organisations and people’s experience, writing weekly for SmartCompany.com.au and is the author of Between Making Money and World Peace; A Brand Blogthology on Purpose, Values and Keeping Your Promises. Conversation Notes - A brand is the result of promises that you keep, or those that you don’t. - A brand is a result. It’s an achievement, not a creation. - The fundamental ingredients to any brand are the purpose and values behind it. - We live in a world where people get hired for what they do, but get fired (or leave) for who they are. - It is so rare to walk into an organisation and for someone to tell you what they do and how it connects to what they care about. “How and why you make promises is really important. Too many organisations make promises and work out how to keep them later” – Michel Hogan Michel's Linkedin: Michel Hogan Michel's Twitter: @michelhogan Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Sérgio Brodsky Type Live Conversation About this conversation Aggressive urbanisation and middle-class growth have compromised the delivery of appropriate public utility services for urban residents' wellbeing worldwide. Enters Urban Brand-Utility (UBU), the emerging thinking and practice reframing brand communications as a catalyst for sustainable development via people-public-private-partnerships and radically innovative use of media. UBU applications happen when brand communications touchpoints elevate their role from being mere messengers to delivering public utility services that supplement cities' infrastructure, alleviating urbanisation’s growing pains. By enhancing instead of interrupting people's moments this approach is a response to the decay of the advertising model, offering the conditions for ingenious advertising to step up from eye-catching stunts onto an infrastructure of creative, urban resiliency. To enable a virtuous circle, cities would then arrange for tax breaks, rebates, R&D contributions or other types of incentives. This way, marketing budgets are effectively turned into marketing investment funds where returns are reaped by brand, monetary and societal metrics. More About The Speaker Sergio Brodsky (LL.M, MBA), internationally experienced marketing strategist, regular columnist at Marketing Magazine, scholar of the prestigious The Marketing Academy and Chairman of its Alumni program. Sérgio is a sought-after speaker regularly featured on local and international circuits. Sérgio began his career as an IP lawyer before pivoting towards brand strategy, media and innovation, internationally. He is passionate about cities, culture and the role of brands and technology in society. Follow him on Twitter: @brandKzar Conversation Notes - When it comes to a brand it’s not about what ‘matters’, it’s about what doesn’t matter. It’s the intangibles, it’s the meaning. - Fundamentally, return on investment will always be a key consideration. Going forward, this will mean creating value beyond the billboard. - The DNA for any advertising campaign is a big idea, which often comes from a big ego. This idea is only expressed once we’re interrupted. - Advertising does not change behaviour, it only prompts our behaviour. The context upon which the advertisement takes place changes behaviour. - Brands that are good for people are also great for business. “If you only build your brand, you will die. If you just sell your product, you’ll become irrelevant. It’s an orchestration of both, you need to sell your stuff and your story.” - Sérgio Brodsky Sérgio's Linkedin: Sérgio Brodsky Sérgio's Twitter: @brandKzar Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speakers Dr Tim Rayner and Diana Renner Type Live Conversation About this conversation As leaders, we are rewarded for our knowledge and expertise. However, our knowledge may also limit our perspective. In new, unfamiliar and uncertain situations, what we know can restrict our ability to think differently and see problems in a fresh light. The more we harness received knowledge, the less we learn about the situation, and the narrower our point of view becomes. In these volatile and uncertain times, it is vital that leaders learn to see problems in the broadest possible light. Leaders need to cultivate a new relationship to uncertainty – one that is attentive, authentic, and generative; that involves letting go of knowing and control; and contributes to their ability to see the broader system. Instead of rushing to close down the experience of uncertainty, leaders must learn to sustain the experience and turn uncertainty into an experience of raw possibility. The art of focus in uncertainty is about zooming in and zooming out. More About The Speakers Dr Tim Rayner Dr Tim Rayner is the Director of Education and Culture at The Merrier. He is an internationally-recognised philosopher and action educator with over 10 years experience working in social entrepreneurship and leadership development. Tim’s recent book, Hacker Culture and the New Rules of Innovation, explores the impact of software hacking and startup culture on 21st century business innovation. He teaches ‘Leadership, Teams and Scalability’ in the MBA (Entrepreneurship) Program at UTS Business School. Diana Renner Diana Renner is an organisational consultant, teacher and award-winning author. As the director and co-founder of the Uncharted Leadership Institute and the creator of Not Knowing and Not Doing Labs, Diana helps individuals and organisations develop new skills to navigate uncertainty and make progress on complex challenges. Diana is the co-author of Not Knowing: the art of turning uncertainty into possibility, awarded 2015 Management Book of the Year in the U.K. and translated in 10 languages, and Not Doing: the art of effortless action, published in 2018. Conversation Notes - Uncertainty has a lot to do with the culture surrounding expertise and leadership within our society. - As humans, we’re naturally wired to want to know and experience everything. - Emotions are not simply our responses to the world, emotions are the response to the way our body cognitively responds to the world. - Our brain loves taking shortcuts, but sometimes it prevents us from looking at things with fresh eyes. So when we stop looking, we miss out. - Uncertainty is a doorway to discovery, so long as we embrace it. “Mystery is an enticement and an invitation to learning” – Dr Tim Rayner Tim's Linkedin: Tim Rayner Tim's Twitter: @timrayner01 Diana's Linkedin: Diana Renner Diana's Twitter: @notknowinglab Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Professor Joe Urbany Type Live Conversation About Work Club Global Work Club Global is for people and organisations who want to break free from the rigid, conventions of traditional working. Those who have freedom of movement, curiosity of mind, diversity of thought and courage of spirit to transition effortlessly between work, life and leisure. Work Club provides collaborative working spaces to stimulate and energise its members and encourages conversations to spark creativity. About this conversation As commoditisation inevitably hits industries, organisations struggle deeply with differentiation and financial growth. Opportunities for competitive advantage, though, are often missed because of consistent misalignment between firm decision-makers and what customers actually value. We’ll discuss how “disruptive customer insights” can be applied to drive growth through differentiated strategy, innovation, enhanced customer experience and ultimately deliver financial results. More About The Speaker Joe Urbany, Ph.D. is Professor of Marketing in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame, Illinois. He was previously Associate Dean of Graduate Programs in the College. He received his Ph.D. from Ohio University. Professor Urbany’s research and large volume of published work focuses on managerial decision-making, competitive strategy and buyer behaviour. He also consults to a wide range of organisations. He has been cited by several media outlets, including U.S. News and World Report, USA Today, MSNBC, the Wall Street Journal, and in other international media. Conversation Notes - Disruption is not only about change, it’s about opportunity. - Disrupt the value that customers feel they deserve, and what they actually receive. - The way you beat competitors is to understand customer decision making better than they do. Do this by conceptualising customer needs and work out how that relates to what is provided in your offering. - It’s very important to get very focused on each customer and each competitor, that’s where you get the depth of insight and actionable opportunities. - There’s nothing more motivating than someone thinking you’re something you’re not. There’s also nothing more motivating than someone not recognising something you are. “We tend to think of disruption as an ‘external’ focus, but we need to disrupt our internal organisation first. That’s where it all begins.” Joe's Linkedin: Joe Urbany Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speaker Jamie Skella Type Live Conversation About Work Club Global Work Club Global is for people and organisations who want to break free from the rigid, conventions of traditional working. Those who have freedom of movement, curiosity of mind, diversity of thought and courage of spirit to transition effortlessly between work, life and leisure. Work Club provides collaborative working spaces to stimulate and energise its members and encourages conversations to spark creativity. About this conversation Technologist and entrepreneur Jamie Skella has spent two decades designing, building and advising of businesses across blockchain, IoT, and even future food. Formerly Executive Director at MiVote, a not-for-profit democratic movement, Jamie has since gone on to co-found one of Australia’s first blockchain projects, Horizon State. A company focused on redesigning how societies collaboratively make decisions using emerging technology – and how to arrive at high-quality decisions – Horizon State has built a community empowerment and secure voting platform that delivers unprecedented trust through the integrity and post-unforgeable attributes of distributed ledger technology. More About The Speaker Jamie Skella joins Florence Guild to explain Blockchain in simple terms, walk us through the Horizon State story, and gets us to think big picture about the opportunity that blockchain enabled disruption presents – as well as the risks and opportunities that come along with it. Decentralisation and disintermediation is on the horizon, whether you’re ready for it or not. Conversation Notes - Blockchain can be framed as a digitised and synchronized notebook, designed to replace how society organises itself. - It provides for an equitable and disintermediated society where we can redistribute wealth and potentially even save the environment. - In the long-term, the banks will need to make way for the rapid influx of change. - At this stage, developer tools are young and a lot more quality design work needs to be in place. - The accountability and transparency present in the system will always counteract the criminal element.

Speaker Dr Natalia Nikolova Type Live Conversation About this conversation We are at the outset of one of the most turbulent periods of what Joseph Schumpeter termed creative destruction. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, internet of things, and big data will impact every organisation and every job. The only way to survive this creative destruction is to be part of it. For established organisations, this means fostering a culture of innovation and intrapreneurship that supports innovative initiatives and practices within existing organisations. For individual workers, the implication is to invest in skills and capabilities that will enable them to develop an entrepreneurial, future-oriented mindset, and the ability to work with people from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. Both are not easy to accomplish. In this event, Natalia shares insights from academic research and industry best practice on intrapreneurship as well as my personal experiences of cultivating students’ skills and capabilities necessary for the future of work. More About The Speaker Dr Natalia Nikolova is a Senior Lecturer in Management at the University of Technology Sydney Business School and the Director of UTS’ newly developed, innovative MBA. Her research focuses on organisational practices, strategy, innovation and leadership and seeks to provide students, the business community and the public with a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with the future of work. Natalia specializes in designing learning experiences and courses that prepare students for the future of work through the development of ‘enterprise’ skills, such as complex problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, teamworking and project management skills. Conversation Notes – Work is changing so rapidly, we cannot assume our skills will hold forever. We need to be opening to constantly acquiring new skills and opening ourselves up to new experiences. – Education providers need to plan for the future of work, adapting the platform they teach on, the content they’re providing and their business models going forward. – Businesses need to adopt an innovation process, ascertaining how to better meet customer needs and implement financial support initiatives – As an employee, we need to be open to collaboration with new backgrounds and perspectives. It’s about being comfortable being uncomfortable. – Leadership within organisations plays a big part in this, particularly by drawing on the skillsets and agendas from different technical understanding within the team. Natalia’s Linkedin: Natalia Nikolova Natalia’s UTS Profile: Natalia Nikolova Quote “We have to be open to new experiences, we can’t rely entirely on our skills and knowledge.

Speaker Christina Gerakiteys Type Live Conversation About this conversation What will it mean to live in an ExpONEntial society? Is ‘one’ a singular or a collective? Will we upload consciousness and merge with AI, or is The Singularity our uploading into a collective consciousness? Nothing is certain beyond our own values and behaviours. Yet if we look to nature we realise we each play our part in an improvisatory whole. Honey bees have an extraordinary social structure. Each bee has a defined function within the hive. A honey bee colony is a well-run organisation. And the ocean is made up of immeasurable numbers of singularly powerless droplets. Together they create a powerful mass that covers over 70% of the planet. The power of one can be dictatorial. Or it can be the collected unity of voices, steering the world to compassion and love. Will we become a society of singular units, or a collective? Do we exist as individuals or as individuations of a collective whole? More About The Speaker Christina Gerakiteys is a creativity and innovation catalyst. Her purpose is to ignite hearts and minds to what is possible, so individuals are empowered to create an incredible life.

Speaker Mark Zawacki Type Live Conversation About this conversation The world’s population is currently 7.6 billion inhabitants, which according to WHO is expected to increase dramatically to approximately 9.8 billion inhabitants by 2050. That’s a lot of new mouths to feed and those hockey stick growth projections we all saw as kids is now actually happening. In this talk, Mark will address the myriad of severe challenges in feeding ‘the next 2 billion’ people, some emerging solutions with their respective advantages & disadvantages, and the worldwide leadership imperative required to address such a truly global challenge. More About The Speaker Mark Zawacki is an advisor, researcher and investor. Based in San Francisco, he’s worked in over 80 counties to date in a wide variety of sectors including financial services, retail, media, telco, manufacturing, healthcare & pharmaceuticals and government. He has spent a considerable amount of time in the past few years researching the global agriculture sector and assessing it’s state of readiness to feed 9.8B inhabitants. Mark has previously resided in Australia (twice) and remains a very frequent visitor. His Australian clients have included CBA, Telstra, AMP, the NRMA, Challenger, Clearview Financial, Financial Wisdom and Colonial First State. He’s also been an Advisor to Cure Brain Cancer Foundation in Australia. Conversation Notes - As countries get richer they consume more resource-heavy foods – thus placing more pressure on the global food distribution system. - The solution stems from two markets: which production methods could assist an increase in supply or which consumption means could manage demand? - An assessment of the scalability and viability of initiatives such as rooftop gardens, container farms, vertical farms and urban farms is often overlooked. - In the last five years there’s been dramatic improvement decision-making but going forward, solving the waste problem is not addressing the issue. - “On an individual level, if we all ate lower on the food chain – it would have a profound impact on the health of the world population”.

Speaker Mikey Ellis Type Live Conversation About this conversation Companies do a lot of work and spend a lot of time and money on employee engagement. Whether it be surveys, workshops, motivational speakers and off-sites, it is believed that engagement translates to productivity and profit. In this podcast, Mikey explores what’s worked and what hasn’t for Vinomofo, with a focus on what it takes to have your team truly engaged and aligned with the company’s mission. More About The Speaker Mikey is an experienced educator, facilitator and speaker specialising in human behaviour and building revolutionary company culture. “Imagine if we could bring our true, genuine, authentic self to work, to do work that is an expression of our purpose – creating workplaces where this is the norm, that’s what’s exciting to me.” Conversation Notes - Company culture is not something that is defined and upheld by a small group of people – all employees become co-creators of culture - As culture evolves, and we should allow it to do so, it needs certain frameworks and guidelines - Whether it’s defined or not in our mission statement or values, culture is what people ‘feel’ - You need to have a clear set of employees to step back and say: ‘is what we do in alignment with what we’d say we’d do?’ - As employees make the progression into leadership, you have to upskill them to deal with people and processes - Don’t expect people to do what they don’t want to, help them find their unique fit in a cohesive workplace Mikey's Linkedin: Michael Ellis Mikey's Twitter: @mikeyellis13 Quote “The key to a successful company is having the right people in the right time working for the right thing.

Speaker Kristen Hansen Type Live Conversation About this conversation Drawing from the latest neuroscience research, Kristen will summarise the findings in a framework called NeuroTREAD – how to think, regulate, engage, adapt and develop with the brain in mind. Think – Interpret core brain functions and what impacts effective decision making. Regulate – Recognise the brain’s emotional triggers, response to stress and build resilience. Engage – Develop strategies to understand the brain’s emotional and engagement responses to build engaged teams. Adapt – Lead teams effectively through change by utilising the brain’s “neuroplasticity” while recognising the resistance to and capability to change. Develop – Develop the keys to the brain’s ability to learn and develop through a brain-based coaching technique and regular feedback strategies. More About The Speaker Kristen Hansen is the founder of EnHansen Performance, supporting managers to build leadership, resilience, adaptability, creativity, coaching, self-management and engagement skills Kristen draws from her Post Graduate studies in Neuroscience of Leadership and 20 years of management roles with major Australian organisations. Kristen has been an accredited Executive Coach with the International Coaching Federation, a Master Trainer in Emotional Intelligence and accredited in PRISM Brain Mapping. Kristen works with major corporations like Telstra, Google and NRMA in the areas of leadership, sales and performance. Conversation Notes - Neuroscience adds traction to personal and leadership development, as it is underpinned by science. - We need to be in a reward state to optimise performance, rather than a threat state. It’s about asking “how do I get my both my own and my teams brain operating?” - Great leadership is about not only creating a positive self, but also an environment for others. - When you have a busy brain, you’re less likely to have those reflective ‘aha’ moments. - Help others gain perspective during conversations: ask them what outcome do you want, what thinking are you doing, what decisions have you made, what are you feeling?

Speaker Tiffany Gray Type Live Conversation About this conversation Insights from the latest research in neuroscience can provide us with a pathway to more fulfilling experiences. Emotions have always been a tricky realm to navigate; until now that is. We now know how understanding the key operating principles of the brain - when used wisely - can be harnessed and utilised as brain hacks. Our brain is constantly being seduced by our environment and as a result our brain changes in ways that we are mostly unaware of. Increasing your self-awareness, understanding your emotional states and learning to read the triggers will help you to take control and direct how your brain changes. Take the opportunity to learn and explore how the brain puts out the call and how your mind decides whether to listen. More About The Speaker Tiffany Gray, Director at PRISM Brain Mapping Australia has had over 25 years working experience in leadership roles; specialising in leading sales, business improvement, human resource, organisation development and change teams. Tiffany has supported her practical work experience with tertiary studies in Bachelor of Business (HR & IR), Graduate Diploma in Innovation and Service Management, Post Graduate Diploma in NeuroLeadership and a Masters in Applied Science. Tiffany is active in finding new ways to enable organisations to change and develop. PRISM Brain Mapping holds the exclusive Australia and New Zealand license for PRISM - the most comprehensive neuroscience-based profiling tool. Tiffany is the only Australian accredited PRISM master trainer (1 of 4 globally). She can provide the latest in neuroscience developments and how to apply them to your work setting to improve business and leadership performance and to increase employee engagement. Tiffany works with leading-edge organisations that are committed to enhancing the working experience of their employees and gain greater bottom-line results. Her areas of expertise include leadership and team coaching and the strategic development and facilitation of change management, coaching, leadership and safety programs. Conversation Notes - We spend a lot of time looking after our physical selves, without actually asking ourselves how we are from an emotional standpoint. - It’s important to understand how to regulate your emotions, understand where you are in the world and what that means for you. - Everyone works below the line, not everyone works above the line: the ability to make decisions, create, innovate, and focus our attention. Stretch yourself. - For each difficult moment or emotion, ask yourself “how can I reframe this?” - We have a physical and emotional response before our cognitive response comes to the fore.

Speaker Grant Herbert Type Live Conversation About this conversation Leaders today are navigating massive change created by constant economic uncertainty, shifting consumer expectations, technological advancement and significant generational differences. Professionals traditionally have high cognitive intelligence (IQ) and technical skill, however, they are not often well trained to deal with issues requiring social and emotional intelligence (SEIQ). A major challenge we see in every organisation is when great technicians are becoming leaders. Time poor and overstressed people often ask us, “How am I supposed to lead others when I am not really sure how to lead myself?” This mindset and lack of “soft skills” can lead to micro-managing or abrasive leadership on the one hand and a loss of self-confidence, translating into a drop in performance, on the other. How many times have you seen a new manager or leader lose their mojo or have a negative influence on the people around them? The cost is high right across the professional arena. In this podcast, Grant shows us why Emotional Intelligence is a crucial skill set to overcome these issues and how to develop them in yourself and others. More About The Speaker Describing himself as an ordinary guy, with an outstanding wife and 5 amazing kids, Grant has a passionate message to share about being authentic and living the life you were created to live. With over 35 years as a leadership trainer and coach, Grant has learned that the key to developing others is to first help them replace the mindsets and behaviours that are currently sabotaging their results. Once that platform is built, they actually implement what he teaches. This ensures you get a high ROI. Whether it is in the corporate boardroom, the business seminar or the conference venue, he inspires in you a desire to change and then shows you how to do so. In his own authentic yet powerful way, Grant guides you through your surface story into the real issues hidden below. Conversation Notes - Emotions are linked to behaviour. We need to have an environment of support and accountability to allow the time and space to change our behaviour. - Regardless of your technical skills, without emotional intelligence you can fall short in your ability and confidence to work with others. - Emotional intelligence is a life-long learning process and continual journey. - By developing social emotional intelligence in leadership, we can reduce stress and conflict and increase productivity and engagement. - Artificial intelligence is coming our way, but we will never be successful if we take out the human element. - As leaders, we need to make sure we’re always coming from a position of cause, rather than effect.

Speakers Phill Nosworthy & Dr Angus Hervey Type Live Conversation About this conversation We live in a world of extraordinary possibility. However, it is also a world of distraction, indecision and procrastination. Focus and courage, it would seem are a potent antidote and strategy. Listen to cult favourites Phill Nosworthy and Dr Angus Hervey discuss how to focus on what matters most. More About The Speakers Phill Nosworthy Phill is a researcher, Keynote Speaker and Co-Founder of Switch Learning + Development. He works alongside brands like Microsoft, Universal Music and ING as a speaker, facilitator and social impact strategist and has been described as a The Meaning Maker - a unique professional who creates new paths for the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. Most importantly Phill is a Dad to Zander (human) and Chica (French bulldog fur child) and is still head over heels in love with the girl he fell for in high school. They live in Sydney’s northern beaches, spend around 100 nights a year travelling internationally and love camping under big starry skies next to raging fires. Dr Angus Hervey Dr Angus Hervey is Co-founder of Future Crunch, a platform for intelligent thinking about the future of science and technology, and former manager of Random Hacks of Kindness, a global initiative from Google, IBM, Microsoft, NASA and the World Bank to create open-source technology solutions to social challenges. Former manager of Global Policy, one of the world's leading international political journals. He holds a PhD in Government and a Masters in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics, where he was also the Ralph Miliband Scholar from 2009 to 2012. Conversation Notes Topic: The Intricacies, Aspects and Determinants of Focus. - Fundamentally, if you don’t know what you’re looking for, explore with an open mind. - Think about what you are bringing in to focus. Are you looking for the right thing? Are you looking in the right places? - A key aspect to focus is linking your aspirational self to your actual self. - You can’t focus on what you’re doing or where you’re going unless you know who you are. - Think about how our understanding of tomorrow informs the decisions we make today. - A lack of clarity manifests in procrastination, indecision, emotional turmoil within us. The four C’s form the cornerstones to focus: - Challenges – they satisfy the soul - Connections - the way we connect with others - Contributions - go after something bigger than yourself - Control – look to gain mastery Phill's Linkedin: Phill Nosworthy Angus' Linkedin: Angus Hervey Phill's Website: phillnosworthy.com Future Crunch's Website: futurecrun.ch Quote “Unless we understand who we’re speaking to, it’s impossible to hone in and figure out what we’re looking for or where we’re looking for it.” Dr Angus Hervey Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Kaila Colbin Type Live Conversation About this conversation To wrap up our ‘Antidisciplinary Future’ speaker series, we have partnered with SingularityU Australia Summit and Pause Fest to bring you the future. What do nanotechnology, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and robotics have in common, and, more importantly, what do they have to do with you? Join Singularity University’s Australian Ambassador for a startling look at the dramatic implications of exponential technologies, and some insight into how we might better prepare ourselves to adapt and thrive in a dynamically changing world. More About Kaila Kaila Colbin is the New Zealand and Australian Ambassador for Singularity University. She is also the Co-Founder and Chair of the non-profit Ministry of Awesome, Curator of TEDxChristchurch and TEDxScottBase, Chair of the New York-based Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, Deputy Chair of CORE Education Ltd, a board member of Canterbury Development Corporation Holdings Ltd and a Certified ExO Consultant with ExO Works. Conversation Notes - How is it possible that an artificial intelligence system predicted that Donald Trump would win the US election weeks beforehand? - The doubling curve of computer price-performance explains why today’s smartphones have access to more information than Bill Clinton had the entire time he was president. - It’s not just about computing. This doubling phenomenon applies to any technology once it becomes ‘information enabled’. - The difference in something following a linear trajectory and something following a doubling curve is insane. Our brains are not wired for this. - It is not about what technology is available at any given point in time. That is not the key thing. The key thing is how technology changes over time. - What has to come together for mass uptake of the technology? It’s not just the technology that has to be ready, the regulatory environment has to be ready, the market appetite has to be ready, the investment environment has to be ready. When all those things come together, that’s when we hit that inflection point. - These technologies are now starting to converge. So now we have to consider what happens when something like exponential progression in AI hits exponential in something like robotics or biotechnology. Or bioengineering converges with 3D printing at the atomic scale? When we can literally print matter atom by atom? What happens is that everything accelerates even faster. Kaila’s Linkedin: K Colbin SingularityU Australia Summit’s Website: singularityuaustraliasummit.com SingularityU’s Website: su.org Quote “Every new computer starts at the sum total of all the knowledge of all the previous computers – which is why these things progress exponentially. We’re continually using better tools to build better tools. So, that’s the terror, but it is also the opportunity.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speakers Noga Edelstein and Elke Keeley – Co-Founders at UrbanYou Mike Rosenbaum – CEO & Founder of Spacer Marty Newkirk – Fleet Manager at Car Next Door Type Live Conversation About this conversation The 2-sided marketplace model and the On-Demand Economy are here to stay. The “Uberisation” trend is spreading to more verticals, as consumers become more demanding of “instant gratification” and technology enables delivery of services in a streamlined and cost-efficient way. It is far more cost-effective to share resources than invest in ownership. This applies to physical assets as well as labour. Florence Guild will discuss access over ownership and the new 2 sided marketplace business model with some of Australia’s leaders in the on-demand economy. Meet UrbanYou, Spacer, and Car Next Door and learn how they are taking the 2 sided marketplace to the next level. UrbanYou offers prescreened household service providers to busy professionals. Spacer brings together people with space with people who need storage; i.e. Tinder for storage. Car Next Door brings car owners together with car renters. Conversation Notes - The sharing economy is now becoming mainstream. Many people are used to using Uber and Air BNB. Pretty much everyone, now, is doing it. That wave of change in consumer behaviour has allowed businesses like ours (Car Next Door) to flourish. - Mindset is one of the big things to overcome because of the fact that, in our society, at least for the last 100 – 200 years, individual ownership has been the norm, and everybody has always owned everything that they’ve needed to use. - It is possible to free people from the ‘one car, one person’ mentality. Cars sit idle 96% of the time. - The rise of reviews is both a benefit and a detriment to online businesses. - Everyone loves to have a say. The danger is that businesses or contractors can live and die by their reviews. - The world is changing very quickly and some of the (innovation and regulation) laws were written without the internet in mind and without sharing economy platforms in mind. New sharing economy businesses are keen to work with governments to address changes in things like the Trade Practices Act and consumer laws. The industry does need some regulation around it because everybody would be better off if the guidelines were clear. - The focus is to keep things really simple, have options available, and to give the consumer the best possible experience.

Not long ago we were all too scared to use a credit card to buy a product online yet now we will go and stay in someone’s home overseas whom we have never met before. So, the on-demand phenomenon is not so much, ‘When is it coming?’ It’s here, and it’s expected now.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speakers Justin Passaportis – General Manager, Victoria & South Australia at GoGet Carshare Danielle Sampson – Director of Partnerships and Experiences at Base Commons Type Live Conversation About this conversation While not owning assets has been standard practice for heavy machinery and non-mission-critical functions for decades, recently there’s been an accelerating trend towards outsourcing even day-to-day assets – business wise and in our private lives. In the on-demand economy, accessing is better than possessing. The “Uberisation” trend is spreading to more verticals as technology is enabling delivery of services in a streamlined and cost-efficient way. It is far more cost-effective to share resources than invest in ownership. Florence Guild will discuss access over ownership with some of Australia’s leaders in the on-demand economy. Meet GoGet and Base Commons and learn how they are taking the shared-economy to the next level. Base Commons curates experiences and co-living spaces for a new generation. GoGet brings all the joys of a car with none of the hassles. Conversation Notes - One of the biggest challenges to asset-sharing is breaking down the concept that we need to own things. The concept works, but there is a huge need for behavioural and value shifts to happen first. - Early adopters are the people who are willing to let go of the closely-held idea of ownership in lieu of convenience. They are comfortable in just being able to access the resources they need as they need them. - Shared asset models are already established in other areas such as co-working spaces and membership-based software usage. - What underpins the sharing economy is the aspect of community and a better way of using some of the resources that we do have. - Car share exists as one complement in many as part of a transport system. - - Public transport should still form the backbone of the system. - The concept of the suburban house with the white picket fence hasn’t gone away. Co-living is not the answer for everyone, but we need to see how it can sit alongside the current development process. - The more people who share, the more likely we will have compassion and understanding in society at a broader level – about each other as human beings, but also about our belongings and what they mean to us.

Speaker Danielle Szetho Type Live Conversation About this conversation London, Singapore, New York - these are the markets people think of when they think FinTech. They are rich in talent, have loads of capital, and are homes to some of the world's biggest financial institutions. However, for a tiny nation of 23m, Australia has a strong case to be a world-leading FinTech market. With almost 600 FinTech Startups and growing - more than Hong Kong and possibly even Singapore - Australia's rapidly maturing FinTech ecosystem is getting noticed, attracting strong investment from international VCs and Banks. FinTech Australia's CEO, Danielle Szetho, talks through the evolution of Australia's FinTech industry including the Fintech-friendly policy agenda that has helped it thrive. She also shares insights into Australia's unique FinTech strengths, where the world's FinTech leaders are focusing for the future, and the stories of Australian startups that are storming the world stage. Conversation notes - The Australian FinTech industry now represents 10,000 people. 16% of the start-up sector. - Venture capital increased from $450 million investment in the FinTech sector in 2014 to around $700 million in 2016 and it is still growing. - That’s 250% growth at a time when the rest of the world is going backwards by about 50% in terms ofFinTech investment. - Australia has a very well-regulatedFinTech environment. Forward thinking and very well regarded internationally. There is also a strong trend towards regulatory unification across the world. - Having such a regulated sector inevitably means that the cost for compliance is high. Many of these costs are manual processes that businesses are now using data technology to automate. - Australia has many other industries with similar compliance hurdles such as the medical and agricultural sectors. Australia is becoming increasingly well known for looking at how to leverage the intersections betweenFinTech and other industries. - Blockchain companies are starting to focus on usingFinTech applications for international remittances and trade finance and settlements. - Australian organisations are exploring the core capabilities we have across multiple industry verticals and putting them together to develop specialised niche applications which can also be sold internationally.
