As we head into a future of exponential change beyond our greatest imagination, the leadership skills that will be most valuable centre around emotional intelligence - including empathy and resilience. And with many mainstream jobs predicted to soon be taken over by advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, it is more important than ever that we focus on the skills that set us apart …the things that make us human.

According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report, creativity and critical thinking are listed among the top 10 skills needed to succeed in the (future) workplace. At the same time, the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) - transformational skills for sustainable development - are motivated by :

“a belief that what has been largely missing is a keen insight into what abilities, qualities or skills we need to foster among
those individuals, groups and organizations that play crucial roles in working to fulfill the visions. The argument is that we
talk far more about what ought to be done to resolve the problems out in the world, than we talk about how to build
skillfulness among the actors who are in a position to make the visions happen.”

Designed specifically to help leaders of organizations practice the mindset, skills and behaviours they will need to survive and thrive in the future, Sensing the Future is an experiential five-course dining concept that explores the crucial role our senses play in helping us become more conscious and connected leaders…and human beings. Each course practices various leadership skills through activating - or depriving- a specific sense.

Sensing the Future is available for leadership teams in both large and small organizations, as well as for conscious gatherings of individual leaders.

What People Are Saying…

“The Sensing the Future dinner was most certainly an experience never to be forgotten. We take so many aspects of human nature for granted and without question, we often ignore many of our other senses - allowing sight to take over. The degree of creativity we experienced using taste, hearing, smell, touch and team play certainly made everyone think. We were all encouraged/reminded to think much more about all the senses and how they’re used across life experiences.”
-Nicole Yershon, Author, Speaker, Founder & CEO of Nicole Yershon Collective

“Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially the blindfolded part. I was a bit scared at first, but it turned out very positive and impactful!”
