Simon shares how Leaf Lab is redefining learning through free, hands-on, real-world experiences that teach students critical skills like value stream mapping, collaboration, and critical thinking. Drawing from personal stories and professional experience, he explains why the traditional education model is failing, what future-ready skills actually look like, and how we can build adaptable teams that thrive in today’s digital, fast-changing work environment.
