Spotlight On: New Speakers and Books, Inside Our Boardroom, and Celebrating Black History Month

Who's New?

Bill Taylor, Amanda Lindhout, John Ibbitson, and Krishanti Vignarajah

We’re pleased to now be representing Fast Company co-founder Bill Taylor, who brings audiences groundbreaking new ideas and techniques to compete, innovate, and succeed; Amanda Lindhout, a journalist renowned for her message of forgiveness after surviving 460 days in captivity in Somalia; John Ibbitson, who explains what the implications are for your business when it comes to national and international politics; and Krishanti Vignarajah, who was the policy director to First Lady Michelle Obama — her unique insight on what it takes to drive innovation, leverage diverse talent, and lead successful teams is truly exceptional.

 

A Look Inside Our Boardroom

Throughout the year, we’re lucky to welcome many of our speakers to our boardroom, where they update us on what’s new, share insights from their latest projects and presentations, and answer our many curious questions. Take a look at some of the speakers who have joined us, from the likes of Award-Winning Comedian Ron James to Amazon Survivor Yossi Ghinsberg.
