What if your wide-ranging interests and nonlinear path were your greatest superpowers?

In a time of rapid change, AI disruption, and intersecting global crises, the world needs a new kind of changemaker. This energising session explores why generalists - those with curiosity, range, and the ability to work across boundaries - are uniquely placed to lead the transition to a regenerative future.

Drawing on her own career as a self-proclaimed 'Regenerative Generalist', Jessica Ferrow shares fresh thinking on skill-stacking, cyclical working, and leading with purpose in uncertain times. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of possibility and practical tools to reimagine your own career path.
