In this highly energizing talk Vicki takes us on a journey through what’s broken in order to open up our individual and collective mindset to see the possibilities for innovating a whole new path forward.

Navigating the Way Forward - A Dialogue
Most people are locked into a way of thinking that keeps giving us more of this same world, including keynote speeches. Rather than broadcast to the audience, Vicki rethinks the keynote to bring out a dialogue that is co-created, personalized and timely. Pick your favourite interviewer - a senior executive, a precocious thinker, one of your internal innovators - and unleash the questions. This dialogue style is the way forward and ends up being highly relevant, insightful and meaningful to the people in the room because they help to form the discussion.

Audience reviews:

  • Vicki is a compelling speaker with an inspiring, important message for the world. In addition to delivering a more traditional keynote, she was incredibly comfortable engaging with the audience and answering impromptu questions during the Q&A session. Her poise, intelligence, and Canadian wit make her the perfect speaker for any occasion.
