Colin delivered a powerful and thought-provoking keynote on Rethinking Education that resonated deeply with CIOs from across Canada. His ability to connect emerging technology with the human realities of learning and leadership made the session both inspiring and strategically relevant.

Service to society and helping to support others is core to my personal philosophy. Meeting other innovators like Colin, who live by these words, is encouraging, but I am not overly surprised. As Canadians, our outlook on life and our fellow humans is usually radiant and held in high regard by other members of the global village. The job of a problem-solver is to decipher not just mechanical or digital issues but maybe life itself. I look forward to seeing how we can both make a difference

Colin’s keynote, The Three Houses, was truly special. He spoke to our youth with authenticity, compassion, and wisdom, reminding them that contentment, commitment, and contribution are not just ideas, but choices that shape who we become. The message resonated deeply across the room, and you could feel the connection as young people saw themselves reflected in his words. The response from the audience was overwhelming, and the impact of his message was immediate, and deeply felt throughout the room. His ability to reach hearts while offering guidance that lasts makes him a remarkable speaker and role model for young people.

Colin’s keynote on design thinking was both insightful and highly practical for our MBA students.

His use of real-world examples resonated strongly with students and reinforced the importance of empathy, experimentation, and systems thinking in modern business. Feedback from the session was overwhelmingly positive.
