Optional live session: embracing the system thinker's mindset. What will you do next?
After a decade in cancer research in prestigious institutions, and over a decade creating educational programmes for pharmaceutical companies and healthcare organisations, I came to appreciate the value of a holistic view when dealing with complex situations.
I realised that systems thinking offers something unique and powerful that everyone can benefit from, and can use to make their life and the world around them better.
So I have combined my experience in systems thinking and my expertise in communications and adult education to demystify systems thinking and make it more accessible to all.
Systems thinking completely changed the way I view the world, the way I work, and the way I live. It opened up new doors and new opportunities I never even knew existed. I hope it will do the same for you.
