Technological change is coming at a speed that few governments, businesses or individuals are prepared for. Those who will succeed will be the ones who can most rapidly and confidently adapt to new ways of working.
Kathryn believes that anyone can access the skills and jobs of the future, if they are given the right conditions. She talks about these conditions in her keynote “the permission to learn”, informed by her experiences educating over half a million people worldwide in future skills at Decoded and her own personal lifelong learning journey which took her from studying the languages of the past to the languages of technology.
Kathryn has delivered over 500 keynote talks for brands such as JP Morgan, WPP, Meta, Alphabet, SAP, Salesforce, Kering, Ministry of Defense, LinkedIn, Adobe, BP, Enel, M&S, IBM, Chanel and Allianz. She has delivered speeches for the Oxford and Cambridge Unions, UK Government, US Congress and the governments worldwide.
Through her public speaking, Kathryn has inspired tens of thousands of people across the world to overcome their fears and embrace the digital world.
