We had the chance to spend some time at The Wall Street Journal’s #FutureofEverything Festival in NYC this week, taking in some thought-provoking sessions across broad topic areas like finance, health, technology, retail, wellness, education, the climate, and more. With a jam-packed schedule of notable business leaders and innovators, here are three things that we connected with: 💫 Tech for good. In the fast-growing autonomous #logistics category, CEO of drone delivery company Zipline, Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, discussed the future of #autonomous aviation and its influence on #healthcare access 💉 . Amid the debate of whether technology is enhancing lives or a detriment to society, it’s hard to argue with the impact of reducing in-hospital maternal deaths by 51% in parts of the world, delivering vaccines and critical health supplies to hard-to-reach places, all while operating on zero emissions. Keep an eye on this space 👀 . 🎼 The impact of music and the arts on wellness 🧘♀️. Amid an agenda filled with content on AI, climate, and finance, it was refreshing to hear renowned opera singer, Renee Fleming, discuss the latest research on the neuroscience 🧠 of music. In her new book, Music and the Mind, Fleming explores the transformative effect of music on memory, mood, and cognitive function. “Aesthetic experiences are part of our DNA” and have a profound impact on the mind, body, and soul, not to mention the economy. In a world that can at times feel over-oriented towards STEM, don’t sleep on the #arts. 💡 The power of “Yes, And.” With their expansion into NYC, The Second City's CEO, Ed Wells sat down with #WSJ to discuss the future of comedy. In an unexpected surprise, a Second City cast member led an exercise to demonstrate their “Yes, And” principle in action. Designed to encourage acceptance and trust, foster teamwork, and enable free flowing #creativity, we were struck by how the simple framework can help marketers approach problem-solving with more of an openness to connect and build on ideas versus stifle them. #ideasthatconnect #b2bmarketing #foefestival #wsj

Founder | Award Winning CEO & Director #SBS | Keynote Speaker | EdTech Specialist | Digital Transformation | Executive Coach | Creative Leadership | Sketchnotes
What can you tell me about ‘attention span’? Is it solely applicable to education? Is it associated to a generational divide? What about contextualization, environmental, and socio-economical factors? Not only is this the exact topic I’m interested in applying to explore in a PhD later this year, but I can also tell you that it was a ‘hot topic’ of discussion at #sundaySPARKs tonight! We discussed things like the ‘TikTok Era’, consumption versus creation, engagement over instruction, etc. There is research that was shared at tonight’s audio-only edChat, and serious questions posed about the structure of the school day, professional development experiences, and agency and choice across purposeful growth. Sometimes we are many at sundaySPARKs, where I’m barely able to keep up with navigating the XSpaces. Then some Sundays, like today, the conversation is so powerful that people are left with more questions than they initially joined with. Craig Shapiro’s leading an X chat in 10-mins, to dig a little deeper into this discussion across his X-space community chat. Why not join the #teachpos conversation in the North American time zone? https://lnkd.in/ekWPRUT6 The beauty of international conversation, is an opportunity to break free from silos, explore diverse thought leadership around important topics that are driving the future, and bridging borders to create empathetic connectedness in a world that often seems so broken. Whether you’re part of the corporate sector, education sector, or just curious about how we can collectively create greater global impact - join these impactful conversations! I’m live in X-Spaces most Sunday nights, at 11amPST-2pmEST-7pmBST-6amAEST (Monday am), and I would love to learn from your perspective and celebrate your voice! Join us? Please reshare to invite your community to join in these wider discussions, and turn-ON your notifications to join us next Sunday -> https://lnkd.in/eWYqSnVf #future #audio #conversation #impact #technology #thefutureisnow Kaylee Cammie Greta André Faye Oli Emma Jason Dr.

#1 Female Creator Worldwide 🌎 | CEO & Founder of BetterMe, Health Coach, Harvard Guest Speaker, Forbes 30 Under 30. On a mission to create an inclusive, healthier world
From Deadpool to Microsoft’s CEO: A Sneak Peek into the Fast Company Innovation Festival Just got back from the 10th annual Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York, and I’m still amazed! This wasn’t just another event; it was a powerhouse of ideas led by a dynamic mix of actors, playwrights, and union leaders, all sharing their secrets to innovation. Here are a few insights that stuck with me: 1/ Inspiration can come from anywhere Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, shared a powerful thought about innovation: build what’s missing in the world. “When I see something I don’t like, I don’t turn my brain off,” reminding us that inspiration often comes from unexpected places. 2/ AI can do anything except recreate a soul Timbaland made a profound point about AI’s impact on music and creativity. While AI can revolutionize industries, it can never capture the soul. He sees AI as “a tool to enhance my creativity, not to take away from my creativity.” 3/ Constraint fuels creativity Ryan Reynolds reflected on the lessons he learned from producing Deadpool on a limited budget. “The more constraints you place on a creative process, the more your thinking becomes asymmetrical. You find inspiration in the most unexpected places.” 4/ Mental health at work starts at the top IKEA research found that 55% of respondents said sleep was their most important "well-being activity at home." LINUS KARLSSON, Chief Creative Officer at IKEA, touched on the importance of sleep. His message? It’s time to rethink the obsession with waking up early and instead focus on going to bed early. From bold talks and panels to lively parties and networking, this year’s #FCFestival was unforgettable. P.S. A heartfelt thanks to editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan for an amazing lunch with such remarkable company! 🙏

"When we start to focus on community and making things better, not just for one person or one family or one group, we are looking at the betterment of improving things for everyone. The value of collective action far outweighs the benefits of individualism". In the first of a series of special episodes, we join you from Urban Tech Republic | Berlin TXL, which is 500 hectares on the site of the former Tigel airport. It is now transforming into one of Europe's biggest urban development projects, a new district of the city that will focus on sustainability and urban technologies; Urban Tech Republic - their research and industrial park, is already open. It is a collaborative infrastructure with laboratories, offices, a production area, and a free art, culture, and activism space. GUT, a world-class events space, is now in the former air freight hall, and a nightclub called Turbulence has been up and running since July. Takeaways: - The importance of collaboration for learning, growth, and innovation - Understanding our roles in collaboration and the need for aligned purposes - The impact of fear and ego on collaboration - Building trust, transparency, and effective communication within teams - The challenges of maintaining focus and commitment in collaborative efforts - Personal experiences of collaboration and overcoming obstacles - The importance of reflection and feedback in improving collaboration #podcast #collabortion #leadership #impactstartups #creativity

This week marks a significant milestone - on March 23rd, we observe yet another anniversary of the onset of the pandemic, an event that fundamentally altered our perception of reality and reshaped our professional lives. As we reflect on this anniversary, I'm curious to hear from my network: How did you navigate the changes brought about by the pandemic? Whether it was adopting new technologies, finding creative solutions to stay connected with clients, or balancing the demands of work and home life in a completely new setting, I believe there's immense value in sharing our experiences. #ronivalrealestate #realestateloscabos #realestateexpert

Doing what’s right for People & Planet | Social Sustainability Agitator | Social Mobility Innovator | Speaker | Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Expert | Strategic Advisor & NED
Attending the Pilotlight Annual Summit this year has been truly inspiring, especially as we delve into a topic that resonates deeply with me: how businesses can do more social good. Ed Mayo, CEO of Pilotlight, opened the event with impactful remarks. He reminded us that the question isn’t whether a business can be good or do good—it’s about embracing the “and.” In today’s world, with shifting brand perceptions, the ongoing war for talent, and increasing regulatory pressures, businesses can no longer afford to shy away from social responsibility. While many organisations are doing remarkable work, we need more systemic change. With the rise of CRSD measures, it's imperative for businesses to enhance transparency in their actions. Collaboration and the formation of strong, lasting partnerships will be key to creating meaningful outcomes for individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Excited to see how we can all push for deeper, more impactful transformations in the business landscape! Well done to the pilotlight team in getting so many great people together.
