For most of us, we live our lives through calendars, planned structures and meetings that we sometimes get burned out or reach a plateau. For Davin Youngs, CEO and Facilitator at VOXUS, tapping into a force that is both creative and unpredictable can steer you back into motivation, improvisation, and growth, and that is our human voice. The VOXUS team brings years of experience coaching and working with the human voice through singing. They bring people into this experience through singing where they end up having a lot of fun and walking away changed. Davin shares there is a vocal story that we have and experiences we can draw from through singing, because more than ever, you find people seeking experiences that remind them of what it is to be human again.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join The Coca-Cola CMO Leadership Summit Podcast community today:cokecmosummit.comFacebookTwitter

As leaders we desire knowledge and control because it signals safety and certainty. What if the ability to “hold on loosely” with clear vision and values could create new solutions we never even imagined? What if our ability to be completely present to each other and our current circumstances could allow creative interactions that yielded far more powerful results? To be human is to improvise, yet this skill involves authentic response guided by practice vs. triggered reactions that can leave us without trust and connection. Co-creation and interactive play tap into what is fundamentally human within us and creates a space for incredible invention. With all the talk of navigating an ever changing landscape, our ability to cultivate the best of our humanity is what allows a future that harnesses the best of both worlds. In this talk/ workshop/experience, Kelly and Anne will share their expertise and powerful personal journey of learning to play the scene that you’re in as work and life presents new situations that require our presence and response. Improvisation can offer new ways of authentic relating and creating that help us foster organizations that are truly connected. Our connection, candor, and presence to every circumstance can allow us to shift paradigms and imagine new ways of creating an evolved future together.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join The Coca-Cola CMO Leadership Summit Podcast community today:cokecmosummit.comFacebookTwitter

On June 12, 2014, Elon Musk decided to take all this patents for the Tesla and opened them up to the world.

What drives this type of growth and is this something that we have to expect going into the future? Author and keynote speaker Frans Johansson explores the answers to these questions in order to understand what it is that this new normal is driving towards.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join The Coca-Cola CMO Leadership Summit Podcast community today:cokecmosummit.comFacebookTwitter

So much information is flooding in on us every second that it’s getting harder and harder to tell information from misinformation, hearsay from fact, fake news from true. The result of that is that the world is coming to us as a never ending series of shocks. Nobody predicted last year that Britain or England was going to vote to leave the European Union. None one imagined that Bob Dylan was going to be awarded the Nobel Prize. This February at the Academy Awards, the most important prize of the evening was misannounced for the first time ever in history. It was almost as if it was an announcement that we are living in the age of inattention. We often hear these words thrown, “I’m really sorry, but things are crazy around here.” If that’s the case, essayist and novelist Pico Iyer says things are not going to get uncrazy. The only thing that can bring sanity to that situation is you. Discover strength through stillness as Pico talks about stepping out of your life just briefly to get the bigger picture and be reminded of exactly what matters to you most.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join The Coca-Cola CMO Leadership Summit Podcast community today:cokecmosummit.comFacebookTwitter

The concept of innovation as we knew it is effectively and functionally dead. It’s meaningless. It doesn’t really mean anything anymore and it’s lost its meaning mostly because we beat the crap out of it for about twenty years, telling everybody to do it. Then we realized, as we started looking through the numbers, that the truth was everyone was getting hung up on two parts of the innovation story. One of that was technology and the other was business model. It was missing this whole other throughline that was happening almost daily in our lives which no one was paying attention to which was the institutional shift. Around 2009 when the recession hit, we all entered into probably the largest mass institutional shift in the history of our species. We are basically in this moment in time where we are setting a rewrite button or pressing the reset button on the operating system of our planet. Venture capitalist, author, and media commentator Leonard Brody talks about The Great Rewrite of the innovation story after the 2009 recession, specifically in the sports and entertainment business.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join The Coca-Cola CMO Leadership Summit Podcast community today:cokecmosummit.comFacebookTwitter

One of the greatest challenges of this age of disruption that we’re in is it’s about speed and technology. However, there’s an old school thing that people are longing for. More than anything else, we’re longing for humanity. If your company can give your team members and your customers that thing that’s missing, you can have a competitive advantage that will be hard to duplicate. You may even find your own humanity in the process. Keynote speaker and leadership expert Dr. John Izzo talks about the purpose revolution and how employees, customers and even investors are asking a different question today. Dr. Izzo says the world is changing and people want meaning, relationship, and authenticity in addition to the product. We’re now marketing our purpose, not our company. In that process, hopefully, we’ll solve the biggest problems the world is facing and give our children and grandchildren a better world than the one we inherited.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join The Coca-Cola CMO Leadership Summit Podcast community today:cokecmosummit.comFacebookTwitter

We’re all about uncertainty. This place is one big great what if. Every day, people are placing bets on people who are trying to create a revolution, but we really don’t know how things are going to play out. We need to understand what technologies and fads are going to make an impact and how businesses use the technologies that are under development. So often, the things that we try fail and we have to understand whether they failed because it was something we didn’t do right, whether it’s because the product or the technology was ahead of its time, or whether it just didn’t really fit. There needs to be change because ultimately what we want to do is to create change in business and in society. That is what the futurist panel is going to be exploring.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join The Coca-Cola CMO Leadership Summit Podcast community today:cokecmosummit.comFacebookTwitter
