Speaking...
Marilyn's presentations support audiences
to navigate the challenges of these times with insight, hope, courage and inspired action. She explores leading edge ideas
in such a way that stimulates thought, builds awareness and challenges us to think differently – both about the issues
and what we can do about them. Her talks weave compelling stories, insights and perspectives that connect deeply with the
hearts of her audience, inspiring in them a sense of possibility and wisdom-based action. Below are just some of the topics
that Marilyn is asked to present on. Each subject can be delivered in different formats - 45-minute keynote sessions, teleconference
presentations, interactive seminars or multi-day learning programs.
Creative in Chaos: Thriving in Uncertain
Times
How do we make sense of - and navigate in - the
times that we find ourselves in? As the world experiences waves of turmoil and uncertainty, none
of us is immune from fear and concern about the future. But how we view change, transition and chaos affects our personal
and collective future more than we sometimes realize. In this session we explore how you can maximize balance and positive
impact during chaotic times.
Transforming
Leadership: Being the ones we've been waiting for
Increasing numbers of people
are frustrated with existing leaders and the old maps of leadership. Yet in this time of shifting priorities and landscapes,
how do we create a new paradigm of leadership, one which can guide us towards more conscious, wisdom-based solutions?
Join me for this talk to explore how you may be the leader you are seeking.
The Real Sustainability
Issue: Your Own Fire
Why is it that social change
leaders so frequently put their impact at risk by ignoring their own sustainability? In this session we explore some of the
unique stressors and challenges faced by transformative leaders and the dangers of ignoring them. You will come away with
a clearer understanding of the many small things you can do to strengthen your own resilience and sustainability – and
thereby improve your impact and effectiveness.
