    Keynote by Speaker Paulina Tenner 

    Leadership in the age of conscious capitalism

    • The way the commercial world is operating is beginning to change and, as usual, startups and forward thinking young companies in the tech industry are catalysing that change. 
    • Having worked with 600+ of those (and spoken with many more) as GrantTree founder, I have enough evidence to believe a bigger scale change in how we shape organisations and live our values in commercial relationships, is taking place.
    • The future of more wholesome workplaces and value driven business is, to a degree, already here.
    • In this keynote talk, I bring up concrete examples of companies large and small who have adopted conscious capitalism principles (including GrantTree itself, which operates holacracy, full financial transparency and employee set salaries). I also give practical tips in terms of where to start to position one’s company at the forefront of this new movement.

    Entrepreneurship and BDSM

    • An attention grabbing talk drawing interesting parallels between the career of an entrepreneur and the world of conscious sexuality practices. A novel, and a very memorable approach to discussing entrepreneurial challenges.
    • The keynote is sometimes featured as part of “Future of sex” conference block.
