TALKS & WORKSHOPS
talks and hosted workshops on the ground in 25 countries across industries and sectors.
TALK TOPICS
While customised talks are most often requested, Dave has developed a few keynote themes that always work well and can be adapted for your context & industry.
-
This is about creating stories that people need to participate in to bring about. i.e. if storytelling is about what happened in the past, storymaking is about what can happen in the future.
-
Social Campaign Strategy: How to build community-led movements and campaigns.
-
My trends talk aims to give people a sense of hope, excitement, and curiosity about the emerging future and their role in it.
-
Moving from extractive growth, to sustainable growth, to regenerative growth and development. This idea applies to everything from the way we live our lives, run our businesses, to the way we develop economies.
-
Hardly ever requested, but if I get asked to choose my own topic, this is the one I put forward because I love it. It is what it says.
Facilitation
Dave learned the art of facilitation at the University of Cape Town's Graduate School of Business, where for over a decade I have hosted workshops and gatherings for their Executive Education unit. He has also chaired high level panels with top leaders in forums like UNESCO in Paris and the World Economic Forum in Davos. His toolkit includes techniques to ensure people are not only engaged, but have the chance to do their best thinking and sense-making together.
