A 4-Sessions dive deep into the Exponential Mindset. An interaction series to consider the SDGs from an exponential growth strategies perspective.

The world is developing at exponential pace. 2020 and the COVID19 era was/is a preview of hyperacceleration. Most of the world got pushed from predicting the future/getting ready for the future into fast forward development and change. People caught in a linear mindset are overwhelmed with this unprecedented momentum. This program will help the participants understand and transform to an exponential mindset – the foundation to not only “survive” but actually steer and shape the future of this planet.

The Exponential mindset is led by a different belief-system, problem-focused and people-obsessed. With an understanding of available technology and the lack of time to solve the grand global challenges, the only enabler to achieve our goals is a different mindset. Focusing on the GLGs, the Exponential Mindset Series is a set of tools to easily adapt and transform the participants’ way of thinking and -behavior.

Exponentialists are the new social dynamos. They understand the power of exponential growth strategies and lead our world to a better future by a) identifying problems that positively impact the lives of millions of people and b) understanding and living new moral ethics and treating people differently.

Niki Ernst is The Businesstherapist – an Exponential Trainer, and together with Eveline Wandl-Vogt (Ars Electronica Research Institute, exploration space, PROVIDEDH), they have developed this unique series of webinar, online workshop sessions and a call-to-action unconference. We are focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals, facing the Good Life Goal (GLGs).
It is a series of talk and interaction to introduce the world of exponential thinking to look at solving Sustainable Development Goals from a different angle.
