Future Dreaming, a conversation with Dr David E Martin
July 20, 2021
Tuesday @6.00pm
Future Dreaming is a remarkable documentary that will challenge the way you think about humanity.
In 2015, ‘The Unstoppables’ took 120 of Australia’s top entrepreneurs on a floating think tank cruising around Antarctica with the sole purpose of creating and influencing a better future.
Whilst on the expedition, film director Kaya Finlayson recorded a conversation with the renowned thinker Dr David E Martin, to explore the narratives that drive our economic, social and political thinking and unpacks the assumptions that underlie those conditions.
Join us on Tuesday, July 20 at Olderfleet for a viewing of the documentary, hosted by co-founder of ‘The Unstoppables’ Geoff Gourley. Geoff is a leading Global Social Innovator, Entrepreneur, Impact Investor, NED and former Board member of the UN in Australia.

Six steps to a moonshot mindset
September 23, 2021
Thursday @5.00pm
This online event is free for all Work Club members. Use the code: FLORENCEGUILDXSU at the checkout.
From the impossible to the possible, ‘moonshot thinking’ has inspired innovation throughout history. To continue to create, we first need to imagine. Sometimes we even have to start over. Most organisations operate with a solid Unique Selling Proposition.
The brave organisations, the ones impacting lives on a global scale, Moonshot. So, set your mind to an impossible idea and use technology to bring it into reality. You need courage and persistence. You need to think big. Moonshot thinking is choosing to be bothered about how you can make it real. So think differently. Change things. Be the change. Be audacious. Find the way. Be unstoppable. Have impact.
