John leverages his deep experience in innovation and Design Thinking to ask and answer commonly held questions differently:
1) Instead of how to fix weaknesses, how do I leverage my strengths?
2) Instead of trying to reduce stress to perform better, how do I perform better under greater stress (and learn to like it?)
3) Instead of trying to squeeze more years in your life, how do you experience more life in your years (Time Expansion = Time Capital)

Resiliency 2.0 - Applying Design Thinking to Stress and Resiliency.
Instead of trying to manage or reduce stress or get work-life balance back, learn how to perform better under greater stress (and enjoy it)! Explore a new model of resiliency, one where proactive challenges are designed to build capacity for ever greater performance under pressure, while learning the latest neuroscience of recovery. Change your relationship with stress by using the 3R method - Reduce, Recover and Reframe.
Time 2.0 - Applying Design Thinking to the Human Experience of Time.
Time 2.0 - Applying Design Thinking to the Human Experience of Time.
Time, as we experience it, is not linear, yet why do we pretend that it is? Our days and our time are filled with experiences and memories, some stored and retained and some not. What creates a memorable memory? What is the nature of the relationship between memory and time perception? How do we measure the true value of our time? In this mind-bending session, John K. Coyle will apply creative deconstruction to what we think we know about time and you will learn how to slow, stop and reverse the perceived acceleration of time most adults feel and experience the endless summers of youth again.

“John was highly recommended to me by the founders of the IDEO design firm (David and Tom Kelley) and, magically, within 24 hours after the introduction he was at my doorstep in southern Baja (Mexico) and this is where we were starting our Modern Elder Academy. One year later, John did a phenomenal job co-leading (with me) our very first workshop cohort... John offers an unusually wide array of skills as a speaking and design thinking expert: part-personal story, part-research geek, part-experiential. On a personal side, John was a joy to co-lead with. He's very organized, friendly, open to suggestions, and a lot of fun... Lastly, he's an exceptionally dynamic speaker the kind who rivets an audience in such a way that they lose track of time.”
