I was recently asked to participate in my third TEDx conference through the good people at TEDxLangleyED.
Their theme in 2016?
The Future of Education - Innovation & Inspiration
I decided to take the opportunity to discuss the link between what companies need in terms of graduates ... and what schools of all shapes and sizes in the K-16 spectrum ought to be producing.
The title of the talk was "How Schools Can Save Companies From Collapsing" and you can watch it in its entirety below.
A huge thanks to John Pusic and Suzanne Hoffman for their invitation to speak and their continued quest to innovate and inspire. They are truly both innovators and inspiring.

Dan challenged us to have clarity of purpose, both as individuals and as an organization. He related inspiring stories drawing on his experience in business, technology and academia. As he said, โThere is no ownership without belonging.โ
Christian Pantel, D2L
Fantastic engaging talk for our global partner summit. Thank you so much, Dan!
Barb Kinnard, CEO Response Biomedical Corp
Dan not only brought his presentation to life with his charisma, but also content, style and presentation finesse. Our members were especially interested in his thought provoking and top of mind topic on the future of work and how weโre going to be leading the next generation of leaders.
Cheryl Goodwin, CPA
Dan is a conference organizerโs ideal speaker. Not only did he inspire and energize our group, but he also masterfully adapted his content so it resonated with the audience and our conference theme. As a bonus, Dan is able to nimbly navigate to adjust to a reduced time slot when other speakers went over time without sacrificing the impact of his session.
Director and General Counsel
Dan accomplished what we set out to do, which was not only to be inspirational, but also to leave everyone with tools and food for thought / self-reflection to improve their personal and professional lives.
