New Ways of Thinking, Leading and Working
Our world has changed.
The environment we operate in has become more complex and uncertain. Requiring a fundamental shift in thinking – from a fixed mindset to a growth Mindleap.
Why? We can only work in new ways if we can also lead in new ways. Leading in new ways requires thinking in new ways. By developing new thought patterns. New leadership habits.
Resulting in a modern set of skills ready for the future of work. Ready for today.

Inspire
Inspire forward with new possibilities
As a Futurist living on the edge of the world, Dave Wild has presented on stages and screens across the globe from San Francisco to South Auckland to Sydney. He’s inspired and informed audiences at industry conferences, government meetings and team events for clients such as Microsoft, L’Oréal, Toyota and Red Cross. Inspiring and energising audiences with future insights and tools that open minds to new possibilities ahead.
Shift
Gain momentum by shifting perspectives
Facilitation is a complex process. In a changing world it’s only getting more complex. Fortunately it’s the complexity of facilitating that inspires the way we work. If you’ve ever been in a meeting that drifted off topic or seemed to go on forever – yet still failed to result in clear actions – you know all too well the advantages of expert facilitation.
Upskill
Adapt to transform the future
Adaptive. Digital. Collaborative. Diverse. Inclusive. If you look at the critical shifts happening within modern workplaces, they’re all designed to enable organisations to become more responsive. To better understand, anticipate and adapt to the changing needs of your customers, communities and stakeholders.

We create the future with organisations across society
from disruptive startups and social enterprises to industry leaders and government agencies
“Dave challenged us to move our modes of thinking towards longer-term future possibilities and away from just the obvious and immediate. Dave’s impact on our organisation has been profound. We have aimed to develop a more free-thinking, creative approach to problem-solving and really try to continuously imagine what the future could look like and determine how Bluelab will evolve and thrive in that future state.”
“What I love most about Dave is his flexibility in adapting to the requirements of the culture of the organisation and the desired outcomes. He offers fresh perspectives and exposes you to global trends and innovations. Dave brings a huge array of tools and I have seen him take people through a journey where even people who don’t consider themselves to be creative or innovative start making connections and generating new ways of thinking to start doing things differently for their business.”
“My experience of Dave is that he inspires and delivers. One of his key strengths is his flexibility – he can work with a wide range of people and organisations and at different scales, timeframes and on disparate problem spaces. Nothing scares him, nothing bores him. Dave couples a high energy, hands-on and inclusive style with a sharp strategic brain. I have always had fantastic feedback about the impact that Dave has made.”
“Dave Wild is a genius. A futurist, strategist and provocateur. One of the things I love about his style is his ability to project thinking into the future in a pragmatic, relatable way – he connects the information to the audience, making the future relatable and relevant to their world. He is generous with his knowledge and keen to help other people navigate their path to better thinking. He’s one of those people that you can relax and let loose on a group knowing it will go well and deliver outstanding results.”

Courses
Our world needs leaders with a greater ability to flex. To adapt their viewpoints. To more rapidly assimilate new information from diverse perspectives. Adapting their decisions and strategies ahead of the environment, not after the world has already shifted.
In times of change you’ll often hear others saying that you need a new mindset. However to shape your future the last thing you need is a mindset. In fact that’s the problem.
Instead what’s now required from our leaders is the ability to Mindleap…
