In 2016 Nik Gowing co-authored interim
findings of the "Thinking the Unthinkable" study.
The work is currently scaling up because of
global anxieties about the new pressures on
leaderships. It is based on hundreds of top
level confidential interviews and conversations
with corporate and public service leaders, plus
hundreds more conversations with millennials.
Findings so far reveal candidly why so many
leaders face new difficulties identifying what
looms in the disruptions of the "new normal".
New vulnerabilities are confirmed. The
findings are scary.
Nik Gowing was a main presenter on BBC
World News 1996-2014 having previously been
at ITN for 18 years. He has been a member of
the councils of Chatham House, the Royal
United Services Institute, and the Overseas
Development Institute, the board of the
Westminster Foundation for Democracy, and
the advisory council at Wilton Park. He is also
a board member for the Hay Literature Festival.
Nik has been a Visiting Professor at Kings
College since 2014 and at Nanyang University
(NTU), Singapore, since 2016. From 2014, he
was a member of the World Economics Forum’s
Global Agenda Council on Geo-Economics.

MotivationalSpeakersA successful motivational speaker will inspire and galvanise an audience, yet beapproachable enough for them to be able to empathise. They will have achievedgreat things, but they need to ensure that the audience is left believing they too canachieve greatness.

In Depth: Simon Weston.Only a handful of people would have recognised
the Simon Weston who headed out for the
Falklands Conflict back in June 1982. But the
face of the Simon Weston who returned from
the bombing of the Sir Galahad is recognised the
world over, not for his disfigurement from 46%
burns, but for the optimism which he radiates. His determination has inspired courage and thewill to excel in countless others, while hisirrepressible humour, his infectious enthusiasmand his immediately engaging personality havemade him the number one choice of manyorganisations who invite Simon back to speaktime and again.
Simon is an amazing motivational speakerwhose sheer presence lights up a room, and heis equally at home on hosting duties at an awardsceremony or prize giving.
