The Future of Love
Yesterday, today, tomorrow... Love has no age. It is as immutable as the tides that bring sweet words to lovers, and immortal as the sun that enchants them as it slips into their souls and bodies. Beyond this timelessness, our portrayals of love are conditioned by the theater of our lives. Our ways of living, doing, thinking, and even smiling make them evolve. The scientific, technological, and societal upheavals of today raise new questions for the love of tomorrow: – With love just a click away, minds meet before bodies. Tomorrow, will our loves be more cerebral? Being less constrained by our bodies, will we be freer in our loves? – Dating sites are testing algorithms to propose the right partners. If these scientific constructions succeed in putting feelings into equations, will love become a measurable value? – With pornography being freely accessible, it plays a major role in the discovery of sexuality for the younger generation. With these foundations, how will they build their love lives? – Connected objects and robots are arriving. They claim to play a predominant role in our intimate lives. Will they provide us with unknown pleasures, or will they be sweeteners that give the illusion of love? – Will the increase in life expectancy diminish the hope for the eternity of love between two beings, or will it give us time to learn to love better? – The excesses of reason from the Age of Enlightenment gave rise to romanticism. Today, our professional, personal, and even intimate lives are increasingly conditioned by binary machines and mathematical exploitations. Do our technological abuses herald a new romanticism? – As the survival of companies depends on creativity and innovation, they are turning towards collaborative work. Will love follow the movement? Will couples avoid sinking into boredom by being more collaborative? – Since the decoding of the genome, genetics is advancing at the speed of light. Will couples survive the programming of their baby? By asking questions, the talk attempts to sketch the love of tomorrow.

Inventing the Future like Jules Verne
Jules Verne was a genius visionary. At the dawn of the steam engine, he imagined the electric submarine, video conferencing, the space capsule, holograms, cryogenics... To project himself into the future, he was curious, staged emerging technologies, drew inspiration from current events, took cues from nature, and had a sense of humor... So rather than cobbling together a method to invent the future, why not adopt the one that this fabulous author used? It has the advantage of having proven itself. This return to the past is a tremendous springboard for imagining tomorrow. For more information: www.methodeajules.com We can customize the book 'La Méthode à Jules' for you if you want to gift it to your collaborators. Strengths of the talk We create a bridge between the past and the future that opens minds.
The Jobs and Skills of Tomorrow
The jobs of tomorrow will result from the intersection of three elements: - Technologies: artificial intelligence, genetics, quantum... - Societal challenges to be addressed: climate change, aging population, the need to feed a growing population... - Innovations: these are the building blocks that construct the future. Aspironaut, resilience expert, nudger... The talk presents these elements and selected jobs from the 170 jobs featured in the Dictionary of Tomorrow's Professions. Ambidexterity (the ability to juggle between know-how and interpersonal skills), fragility (the ability to leverage the fragility of complex systems), machipathy (empathy for machines)... I then discuss the skills of tomorrow. Since messages resonate better when the audience is active, I can also offer a conference-workshop. Game cards allow for the invention of tomorrow's jobs in your sector. To learn more about the approach, I invite you to visit the website dicodufutur.org. If you are interested, we can send you the digital version of the Dictionary of Tomorrow's Professions. The Dictionary of Tomorrow's Professions can be customized with your branding and offered to your employees. Strengths: Humor, poetry, and a twist that open minds and help reflect on a desirable future of work.
