I am an experienced foresight practitioner completing my postgraduate qualification in Futures Studies at Stellenbosch Business School, Cape Town, South Africa. I hold a degree in film and television and have worked with business leaders and diverse organizations to integrate foresight into their planning, strategy, and learning initiatives. I am passionate about empowering educators and students with the tools and mindsets of futures thinking.

I offer a range of consulting services to support schools and educators in integrating foresight into their practice, including:

• Professional development workshops and training on foresight concepts, tools, and teaching methods
• Executive consulting and resource development to embed futures thinking across grade levels and subject areas
• Facilitation of strategic visioning and planning processes to help schools create a shared vision and roadmap for the future
• Coaching and mentoring for individual educators looking to deepen their foresight practice
• Keynote speaking and thought leadership on the future of education and the importance of foresight literacy

I take a collaborative, customized approach, taking time to understand the unique context, needs, and goals of each client and tailor their services accordingly. I believe in empowering educators as change agents and thought partners, and I work alongside them to build capacity and ownership for foresight integration.

I view foresight as a lens and skillset that can enhance, rather than replace, traditional academic learning. I collaborate with school leaders and educators to find authentic, meaningful ways to embed futures thinking into the class and culture.

In addition to offering foresight education for teachers to implement in the classroom, I work closely with educators and administrators and facilitate deep strategy sessions on the future of teaching itself. In these sessions, we work to understand and unpack the trends, signals, desirable destinations, and future challenges related to teaching in schools during the 21st century.

I am skilled at translating abstract foresight concepts into practical, engaging learning experiences, and I am committed to a strengths-based, inclusive approach that values the diverse perspectives and experiences of all participants.

I offer a complimentary initial consultation to discuss your school or organization's needs and explore potential ways to work together to build futures-ready learning communities.

I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your foresight journey!
