“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

- Why do you think so many leaders ignore what’s ahead… they listen to you, acknowledge it, then ignore it and go back to status quo?
- 'The future has a foot in the past and the present'… how do we capitalise and take a step to make use of that thought?
- What should leaders be looking for to prepare for the future?
- Liz has said, “The future is over sold and under imagined?” What’s that mean?
- What's the future of work, the workplace, and the working careers of employees?
- If there is one trend in the business world that Liz is curious about that leaders should be following, whats that?
- What’s going to bankrupt our business in the next two years?
- What are the attributes of a leader who is preparing themselves for the future?
- How Amazon write press releases about the future, and then publish them in order to create the future?
- How do I know if I am future-ready?
