Your Speakers for the Week...

Anita’s career has taken her to all corners of the world, working side-by-side with family-owned businesses, helping them to overcome their biggest challenges. She gives them ideas, helps them build confidence and ensures they have the tools they need to tell their stories and engage with customers, authentically, creatively, passionately and consistently.

For over 20 years, Anita has advised leaders through difficult and turbulent times of change.  She has revitalised brands, inspired executives to stretch, and challenged the status quo with new ideas in fast-changing markets. She has helped family businesses articulate their reason for being, reignited the fire in their belly and shown them a vision of what's possible.

Communication and governance are two of the biggest challenges: Anita says it's often a big step for families to ask for outside help. She is available to listen, ask the difficult questions, offer her experience and expertise, and navigate the challenges with business owners to protect everything that's important to them.  Anita comments: ‘Remember you can always get another business, but you can’t get another family!’

Charlotte Kemp is a professional futurist keynote speaker, author and podcaster. As a futurist, she has developed the Conscious Futurist model to help people move up a spiral of conscious attention to how they co-create the future. A large part of that model is how we cope with disruption, disappointment, and the stress that comes from a rapidly changing world.

We are all natural futurists but we can become better at this when we apply some thinking and models to how we approach the future. This helps to mitigate the stress and anxiety that many people experience as they try to execute their tasks even as the world of work changes around them.

Charlotte is also the Deputy President of the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa and a professional member of the Association of Professional Futurists.
