VISIT LOGOLAND
Colin has worked for, with, and in support of dozens of companies and organizations over the years. With some focused on the bottom line across borders and time zones. Others on innovations to disrupt markets. Nearly a hundred moving us toward net zero energy, carbon, water, and waste. And a few dozen more harnessing the sunshine of the greater good.
Colin speaks about what fascinates and inspires him, and how that can energize approaches to organizational and personal development. He loves a curious crowd, a spirited discussion, and the opportunity to open doors and minds.
INSPIRING
Since Colin’s popular TEDx in 2015 he has become an in-demand speaker for audiences and organizations looking to be, as Mel Robbins (The 5 Second Rule) once encouraged him, “entertained, educated, and inspired.”
He recently gave the opening keynote for the CHARGE North America conference, was a panelist on nature-based solutions at the Net Zero Conference, moderated a fireside discussion on innovation in Reykjavik, and gave a master class on bioinspired business at the University of Helsinki.
Colin is currently Visiting Faculty at Reutlingen University’s ESB Business School, and has guest lectured most recently at the College of Wooster and universities including UCLA, USC, DePaul, and Loyola Marymount.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER, MODERATOR, & LECTURER
Colin has been interviewed on international TV, radio shows, and podcasts on topics including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), entrepreneurial business practices, nature-inspired innovation, and the progression of what-ifs that spark and refine innovation, particularly in the built environment.
Colin has been a professional writer since early in his career as a syndicated columnist and magazine editor. He went on to hone his craft in NYC advertising agencies. He’s been writing and editing here and there on this and that ever since, recently including articles, essays, curricula, and academic abstracts.
