  • Change Your Mindset About Personal Finance

    Thomas Yeung, Founder, Jurnex

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Financial

    Even if you’re financially stable, have you ever thought about your savings and felt some mixture of worry, regret, or distance? Such feelings can cause massive stress, and it’s one of the key reasons why people make panicked investment decisions. That’s why it’s so critical to change your mindset about investing. MORE >

    In this talk, I cover the importance of achieving a growth-mindset about money. I want the audience to say "goodbye" to viewing their nest egg as a burden. Instead, I'll have people see their savings for what they are: assets that can help you build even greater wealth.

    And once you learn a growth-mindset about money, you’ll find so many possibilities to generate wealth for years to come.

  • The Changemaker Atlas: A Field Guide for Navigating Organizational Life

    Adriano Pianesi, MBA, ACC, Founder and CEO, ParticipAction Consulting, Inc.

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    The Changemaker Atlas is a practical and visual framework for anyone who wants to make meaningful progress inside complex organizations—without waiting for permission or perfect conditions. MORE >

    Developed by Adriano Pianesi, this field guide reimagines organizational life as a landscape to be explored rather than a system to be controlled. It helps leaders, managers, and teams map where they stand, identify what’s holding them back, and chart a realistic route toward impact.

    The Atlas introduces four territories every changemaker must traverse:

    - Islands of Preparation – where clarity, purpose, and readiness are built.
    - The Province of Compelling Leadership – where influence is earned through trust, not title.
    - The Land of Engaging People – where collaboration, energy, and dialogue take root.
    - The Territory of Measurable Results – where small wins become visible progress.

    Through stories, tools, and reflection exercises, The Changemaker Atlas teaches readers how to navigate organizational politics, surface hidden resistance, and lead from the middle. It combines the science of adaptive leadership with the art of facilitation and the mindset of a traveler—curious, observant, and ready to learn from the terrain.

    Whether you’re a team lead, project manager, or executive, this guide offers a map to turn everyday work into a journey of influence, growth, and contribution.
