Request SpeakerSpeaker Bio
Heather McGowan is a highly-sought keynote speaker and expert covering such topics as the future of work, workplace culture, employee engagement, leadership, diversity and inclusion, and resilience. She is a prize-winning author, consultant, media pundit, and agent of change who has spoken on many conferences around the world where she gives leaders the skills they need to deal with fast, big changes in society, the workplace, and schools.
Heather E. McGowan is a strategist for the future of work. She helps executives get their teams and companies ready for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Third Industrial Revolution was marked by the computerized system and automation of physical labor. This set the stage for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which would be marked by the rapid spread of technological tools into the realm of human intellectual labor.
People must always learn and change to fit their environment, which comes with a lot of information. Heather makes this topic clearer with her sharp graphic frameworks and powerful metaphors, and all backed up by a lot of research. She was named the world’s most influential education voice on LinkedIn in 2017.
Thomas Friedman, a Pulitzer Prize winner and writer for The New York Times, often talks about Heather and calls her “the oasis” when he writes about the future of work. Heather’s training helps leaders and staff prepare for and adjust to roles that aren’t being filled.
Heather McGowan is consistently hired to give keynote speeches at universities, Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, government agencies, AMP Financial, Financial Times, Siemens, Microsoft, Autodesk, Biogen, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, and Accor Hotels, AARP, Zendesk, Tableau, Fidelity, and The World Bank, among others. McGowan is often in the news, especially in the New York Times.
She is also on the advisory board of Sparks & Honey, a brand-focused agency in New York that focuses on culture. McGowan has worked as a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, Becker College, and Jefferson University. At Jefferson University, she was the lead strategist for the school’s first undergraduate innovation-only institution.
In 2019, in Melbourne, Australia, Heather joined the faculty at the Swinburne University Centre For the New Workforce. Heather and her coworkers offer businesses help with trying to adapt to the Fourth Industrial Revolution through their consulting services. She also works for global organizations as a counselor and keynote speaker. Work to Learn is the designation of her think tank because McGowan thinks that throughout the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we will work to learn instead of learning to work as we did during the Third Industrial Revolution (continuously).
McGowan is a writer for Forbes, co-editor of the book Disrupt Together: How Teams Consistently Innovate, and the author of the book’s title. The Adaptation Advantage: Let Go, Learn Fast, and Thrive in the Future of Work, McGowan’s most recent book, came out in 2020. Since then, Soundview has chosen it as one of the best business books of 2021. It reached the top spot on Amazon’s list of books about running a business.
Traditional jobs quickly become worthless because of the rise of automation and the speed with which technology is changing. Heather works in an industry that requires its workers to be creative and able to adapt. She wants to help as so many people get ready for the big changes that are coming.
Heather’s new book, The Adaptation Advantage, gives her creative ideas on how to let go, learn quickly, and do well in the future workplace.
