Bio

I'm a 4x best-selling author, TED and keynote speaker, professionally trained futurist, and the founder of The Future of Work University. I believe that we all deserve to work for organizations where we actually want to show up each day and everything I do is about trying to create and inspire those types of organizations. I've written four best-selling books which are: The Future Leader (Wiley, 2020), The Employee Experience Advantage (Wiley, 2017), The Future of Work (Wiley, 2014), and The Collaborative Organization (McGraw Hill, 2012). My work has been endorsed by the CEOs of Cisco, T-Mobile, Unilever, Mastercard, SAP, Best Buy, Schneider Electric, Whirlpool, Kaiser, Domino's Pizza, Audi, KPMG, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and many others. I frequently speak at conferences and events all over the world on leadership, employee experience, and the future of work. In addition I work with some organizations around thought leadership programs and advisory and frequently contribute to media and business publications such as Forbes, the WSJ, USA Today, INC Magazine, The Harvard Business Review, CNN, and many others.
