A TED-talk on Steroids

top female futurist keynote speaker

Renowned renegade futurist and ecocentrist K D Adamson deconstructs popular narratives about the future, arguing that tomorrow isn’t a technology problem, it’s a value problem, and real alternatives to today’s global systems are on offer.

On stage and screen, in print and in organizations around the globe she challenges our assumptions, offering truly world-changing ideas and perspectives on geopolitics and society, the environment, industry, technology, business and enterprise. She is a global authority on the sustainable transformation of business and expert in future business value creation, organisational transformation, ESG, leadership and the blue, green and circular economies.

An unusual combination of visionary thinking and foresight, with practical acumen and expertise has made her a trusted advisor to leaders and organizations, her stellar client list spanning continents and industries, major global brands, multi-nationals, governments, non-profits & NGOs.

Sharp, funny and straight-talking she is one of the top-rated female keynotes in the world, loved by audiences the world over who have compared her performances to both a TED talk on steroids, and a Tarantino movie where no one died. Organizers love her too, for her professionalism, the huge breadth of hot-button themes she covers, and her gift for distilling them into simple, powerful, concrete and accessible concepts for diverse attendees.

Her live appearances are consistently described as inspirational and mindblowing by audiences who respond to her energy, humour, warmth and charisma on stage and her empowering narrative about the future.
