Speaking Engagements
We speak to leaders and teams looking for a new perspective on the challenges and opportunities ahead of them. Drawing on behavioural science, strategic foresight, and human-centred design, we turn complex ideas into talks that are practical, grounded, and genuinely helpful. Every engagement is built for your audience, your context, and the questions your organization is actually asking.
Our Topics
These are a few of the conversations we return to most often, though they're just a starting point. Each talk can stand on its own or be shaped around your event, and we're always glad to develop something new around the themes that matter most to your audience.

“An incredible side effect (or maybe by-design effect!) of our engagement with Rising Solutions was team building and employee engagement. They demonstrated our values in action and invited others to join in.”
— Molly Henry, Alight
