Many conversations about diversity focus on the clear deficiencies in representation and invitation around gender and race. In this conversation with Ergin Ozdemir, we discuss Ergin’s experiences emigrating from his native Turkey to Sweden and the struggles he had as an immigrant. Ergin also works with companies to show them the value of hiring people on the autism spectrum, a fascinating way to embrace neuro-atypical experiences into the workplace.

Without diversity, we are all poorer. Listen to Ergin Ozdemir demonstrate the richness we can embrace when we connect outside of our own groups.

Ergin Özdemir is a social entrepreneur, diversity advocate, and one of Sweden’s foremost public speakers. His approach to increasing diversity literacy is two-pronged. By working with leaders, employers, and institutions, he increases their diversity IQ so they can build, preserve, and harness the power of diverse teams. At the same, Ergin helps individuals learn how to use their diversity to their advantage when entering the workforce.

Through his presentations and workshops, Ergin uses countless real-life examples and the latest research to show that rather than a burden, diversity in all its senses, offers a competitive edge for every organisation. All that is required is that we widen our view of where our society’s superpowers reside.

Ray de Villiers is an interesting futurist, focussing on the future of work and riding the conversations between technological developments and the human element.

Ray is a speaker and facilitator who focuses on the future world of work. He has a track record of success and failure and believes we need to draw on both of these to develop insight for the best future we can have. In times of flux, it is more important to be asking the right questions than having the right answers. Answers change but questions provide insight into change. Ray helps us frame these questions and put them into language and narrative that helps everyone understand these complex discussions.

I first encountered Gourmet Grubb at the SAFFI conference earlier this year and my curiosity lead me to explore this a little more.

In fact, that is exactly what Goumet Grubb are trying to do – introducing the concept of insect protein to potentially reluctant consumers, in the form of a delicious and curious ice-cream product made from Entomilk, their proprietary insect milk process.

What could improv comedy have to do with futures thinking? Only everything!

Improvisational theatre isn’t necessarily comedic but when the participants relax and have fun, we cannot but experience fun and laughter.

Improv (think ‘Who’s Line Is It Anyway’) is both good for comedy as well as used in team building and training sessions. It teaches people to put aside their preconceived notions, work with their improv partners, and co-create a great experience.

As we think about the future, some of the best advice is to put aside our preconceived notions, work with our colleagues, and co-create an amazing future.

This podcast was huge fun to do, so I hope you enjoy listening to it. But more than that, I urge you to find someone who can help you experience great improv, either live in person or increasingly online.
