Today’s guest is Anna Sircova

Anna is a psychologist, a researcher and the head of the Board of the Time Perspective Network who also teaches courses on the Psychology of Time and Endings.

She is currently living in Denmark but has lived across the globe, weaving together her passions to create an interdisciplinary dialogue around the concept of time.

Today, much of Anna’s work is focused on futurization - incorporating future s thinking into present decisions and behaviour - and exploring the practical implications this could have on areas such as sustainability.

For those that have read my book Futurize Yourself… you know that the topic futurization is very close to my heart so when I discovered that there was one person that did research on it I immediately contacted her to give a talk on TEDxVilvoorde and to be a guest on this show. and I’m super delighted that she accepted.

Today’s guest is Alex Brouard also known as Alex Si

Alex Si is a former IT engineer who has futurized himself into being a magician-mentalist, corporate speaker, emcee of professional events, and ambassador for the McBride Magic & Mystery School (Las Vegas.)

In his performances he uses a pure blend of science and art

With his knowledge in neuroscience and psychology he helps participants make better decisions by avoiding the traps laid by your brain.

And he brings that message in an inspiring, energising and wonderful way to make events more magical and the content memorable (even when online)

I saw him at work last week and can tell he knows how to pack a punch

You’re all probably wondering what a magician and mentalist can offer on the topic of Futures Thinking in personal development. Well let’s hear it from the man himself.

Interestingly, when I asked her to be a guest on the WTF… What, the future?! podcast she replied: 'what do I know about the future?' but I insisted. Because as an event organiser - which is always about the future” I think she has a lot to share about the future. e

But  I also wanted to know what future she had defined for herself.
