In this keynote, Lynn Zebeda, a visionary social entrepreneur, will guide us in imagining what the transition to a regeneration-focused society could look like. Together, we’ll explore a future where our systems are not only sustainable but truly restorative, offering a new paradigm for the way we live and work.

Lynn will take us on a journey from the macro vision of global transformation to the actionable steps we can each take in our daily lives—whether through our individual choices, the systems we help shape, or the movements we align with. This talk is a powerful call to rethink our roles as citizens, consumers, and changemakers in an ever-evolving world.

Lynn has worked with partners on five continents ​on reimagining society. She is the co-founder of Catalytic and previously Dr. Monk as well as an international public ​speaker, community curator, and board member of a range of organisations ​in the impact space.

Gain practical tips on how to surf the waters of change with more ease and explore the three common personal and professional transitions as described by William Bridges:

Endings: Every transition begins with one. Yet how we recognize them is key to how we can begin anew.

The Neutral Zone: A seemingly unproductive time-out when we feel disconnected from the past and unconnected to the present. How can we make the most of it?

The New Beginning: To make a successful new beginning requires more than simply persevering. It requires an understanding of external and internal signs and inner signals that point the way to the future.

Having turned her career upside down in her late 20s, navigating four international moves, switching between being a full-time employee, a full-time mom, a part-time entrepreneur and a contractor, Manuela Damant has at times more and at others less successfully managed her own transitions in the past. She’ll share some of her own pitfalls so you don’t need to make the same mistakes. And she’ll also share the wonderful opportunities in new beginnings.
