Online Workshop

How do we prepare ourselves for “unthinkable” change? How do we ready our teams and organizations for “unimaginable” future events? Find out in this interactive session with New York Times bestselling author and Institute for the Future research director, Jane McGonigal. You’ll learn a new framework for cultivating “urgent optimism” in the face of uncertainty. You’ll practice the art of mental time travel, and learn how to take others to a better future with you! And you’ll take away a practical tool to help others fight “normalcy bias”, and think more creatively and effectively in the face of dynamic global events.
