Adah’s provocations are crucial at this point in time. What happens when technology takes over our lives and as we rely on it more heavily than ever? What kind of ancient human technology are we relinquishing that maybe we should be rescuing? How can we reconnect with our ancestral knowledge and work side by side with nature as a teacher? In this provocative talk, Adah makes us question how we can put together human, tech and nature to build a more desirable future for all species. It is definitely an eye opener for every business leader assigned with the responsibility of being innovative and building tomorrow.

Adah challenged us all to question and to be more deliberate. She fired us all up to really appreciate the opportunity and responsibility we have as communication experts – and to continue to broaden the narratives being created and told.
