I first heard Cam Calkoen speak about 'Dream big, achieve more' not even a year ago and I still remember the effect he had on his audience and me. 

Many motivational speakers have become so because of a life-changing event - lost limbs in accidents, reformed drug addicts, been in a gang and/or prison, beaten, raped as a child. This inspires them to become change agents through motivational speaking. Cam was born with Cerebral Palsy, his life has been "normal' since birth & would have carried on in whatever direction he chose to take it. The fact that Cam chooses to extend himself-way out of his comfort zone and have done the two things doctors said he would never be able to do, and to a very high level (running & speaking ) means the message he delivers is very powerful and unique. 

In a few words "Cam delivers a unique message that inspires people to believe things are possible way beyond their thinking ".

Hilary Walton and Ryan Ashton (best known as Ryan 'the lion' Ashton) from 'A Few Quiet Yarns' discuss people, technology and culture -  but not just business culture change. With a mission to co-create a better world for everyone to co-exist the conversation reaches into broader diversity and inclusion as well as the digital divide, the #MeToo movement, and other injustices like child abuse. The main drive of the discussion is to live a more "woke life",  a more humane life,  one that challenges the status quo when it needs changing.

Ryan also talks about how A Few Quiet Yarns (AFQY) www.afqy.co.nz, the no-selling tech-networking event, has evolved as simply a business idea to connect CIOs and the tech industry to start to change behaviours for positive good. Ryan has so many great stories to take away from this episode - enjoy.

Hilary Walton and Sarah Bowden from Microsoft discuss how to create a digital culture in teams. Sarah's take on it is through personalising experiences through technology to generate fun and belonging. We discuss the importance of prioritizing our health and wellbeing and making it ok for others to do the same. We also discuss supporting people, teams and businesses through enabling technology.

Sarah wanted to share with our listeners a couple of key resources to help them at this time of drastic digital transformation.
