Last year, two thirds of US employees looked up "purpose". A buzzword on the one hand, often abused in corporate lingo, it is still the holy grail when it comes to making use of your lifetime. Especially in a world of uncertainty and transformation, how can you align with your calling every day and bring purpose to everything you do? In this session, we will explore how to connect to your purpose, and how to bring it into your daily work and life. There is no such thing as work/life balance, but you can live a full and fulfilled life - on purpose.

Since the first wave of digitalization, when PCs replaced typewriters, philip has been researching the impacts and changes in the future of work, leadership, collaboration and culture. Over twenty years ago he followed the wave of innovation to the US west coast, where he supported Fortune 100 organizations with transformations around integrating and implementing global enterprise systems. Continuing his research around the world, he worked with startups, NGOs, artists, futurists and scientists to understand which values and behaviors would become essential for the future. He found that it was often perennial wisdom, sometimes thousands of years old, that proved particularly useful in times of change. When everything becomes more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA), it is the higher human functions of individuation and self-actualization that provide guidance and enable bold action. Combined with the latest findings from psychology and neuroscience, systems theory and various innovation methodologies, philip inspires and consults some of the most innovative and future-oriented organizations. He speaks, advises, and - as a partner in LUMAN (http://luman.io) - he consults and trains executives and their workforce in immersive transformational experiences, enabling them not just to be ready for the future, but to actively create it. He lives in Berlin and Los Angeles, travels, speaks and works internationally.
