Looking to the Future
A disappointing season has seen my team West Ham get relegated to the Championship. Whilst you can try to figure out the reasons why it all went wrong, the focus really needs to be on the future and how to rebuild and bounce back.
In this time of uncertainty organisations sometimes contact us to look for a speaker who can talk on the Future of Work and how to be better prepared and be more future ready.
These are just a few of the futurist speakers we work with if you are looking a speaker on the future of work.
Matt O’Neill is a globally recognised futurist, keynote speaker, and author who has delivered over 300 talks across four continents.
Matt O’Neill doesn’t just talk about the future; he helps leaders live in it without losing their way. With over 340 events across four continents, Matt has become the go-to voice for organisations that are tired of the “doom and gloom” AI narrative. He believes that while technology is moving at a breakneck pace, the most successful companies will be the ones that double down on being human.
His background is rooted in the real world of entrepreneurship and innovation. He isn’t interested in abstract theories: he is interested in what works. Through his MattOS and FIRE frameworks, Matt gives teams a practical way to handle disruption with a sense of agency and, crucially, a bit of optimism.
