KEYNOTE TOPIC #2

Hello Tomorrow: Dare To Make The Future You Want

PERFECT IF YOU NEED:

Inspiration & Motivation • Future Visioning • Team Alignment • Organizational Design • Innovation Mindset • Strategic Optimism

It’s easy to give up on the future. Somewhere between childhood dreams of flying cars and our adult reality of endless crises, we lost our sense of wonder about what tomorrow could bring. 

But here’s what the doomsday prophets won’t tell you: the future isn’t something that happens TO us. 

It’s something we get to design.

But we can’t build tomorrow with yesterday’s thinking. We can’t create breakthrough innovation with broken-down optimism. And we definitely can’t lead others toward a future we’re afraid to imagine.

This inspiring keynote challenges leaders to reclaim a romance with tomorrow and master Future Design™ — the art of transforming from tomorrow’s passenger into its architect.

You’ll fall in love with the future again, think like the builders who designed the “World of Tomorrow,” and turn your boldest visions into actionable blueprints.

YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO:
  • Reclaim A Romance With The Future – Rediscover that childlike excitement about what’s possible and learn why optimism is your most powerful competitive advantage in an uncertain world.
  • Think Like Tomorrow’s Architect – Master the mindset shift from reactive survivor to proactive designer, and learn how to spot emerging opportunities before they become obvious to everyone else.
  • Build Your Blueprint for Tomorrow – Get practical tools to transform your biggest dreams into step-by-step plans, and create a future so compelling that others can’t help but want to build it with you.
WHY THIS MATTERS TO ME

The story behind this keynote...

I learned about the importance of “future design” growing up as an artist in a rural hunting/football town, population: 1,311, in the middle of nowhere in the very center of the United States. 

In my family, I have no rich relatives, no political connections, no corporate executives… just two amazing, working-class parents who believe hard work, imagination, and persistence can build the life you want to live. 

When I finally found my tribe (in high school, two brothers moved to town and shared my love of music), we cranked up our electric guitars in the garage and made terrible music that, to me, sounded like freedom. 

That’s when I discovered the magic of designing the future: when you dare to create something that doesn’t exist yet, you don’t just make art — you make possibility.
