In today's environment of constant disruption, organisations face strategic whiplash — lurching from one urgent priority to the next while losing sight of their long-term mission.
The consequences are clear: decision paralysis, wasted resources, and teams retreating into silos rather than collaborating on solutions.

Booking Graham as our keynote speaker was a game-changer for our company retreat. His presentation on 'Mastering Your Futurist Mindset' was a perfect blend of insight, humour, and practical advice that resonated deeply with our team.
Graham's unique ability to demystify complex ideas about uncertainty and decision-making left our employees feeling both challenged and inspired. The interactive elements of his talk, particularly the exercise on creating vivid future visions, were especially impactful.
Our team is noticeably more proactive in their approach to long-term planning, and there's a palpable shift in how we discuss and prepare for future challenges. Graham didn't just deliver a talk; he catalysed a transformation in our company's strategic thinking.

I needed to find a speaker who could genuinely inspire our team to think differently about the future. Dr Graham Norris exceeded all expectations.
His talk to our annual conference on cultivating a futurist mindset was not only engaging and thought-provoking but also incredibly practical. Graham's ability to break down complex concepts into digestible, actionable insights landed really well. Our colleagues left the session buzzing with ideas and a renewed sense of confidence in their ability to navigate uncertainty.
What set Graham apart was the lasting impact of his presentation. Weeks after the event, I continue to hear from attendees about how they're applying his strategies in their daily work. Many say they feel more optimistic about the future and empowered to make decisions with greater conviction. The tools Graham shared for reframing uncertainty as opportunity have been particularly transformative. His blend of humour, expertise, and relatability created a memorable experience that has genuinely shifted our organisation's approach to many aspects of our work. Thank you, Graham

What do you love most about your job?
Helping people solve problems. Almost all organisational problems boil down to people, and as a psychologist I'm fascinated by how we can change mindsets to improve productivity and wellbeing.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After more than 20 years in journalism and marketing, an MBA and a doctorate, I wanted to create something impactful that could help as many people as possible think more productively and confidently about the future.
Why should our clients choose you?
1. No one else combines the insights of psychology with the techniques that futurists use to transform mindsets toward strategy, decision-making, change, wellbeing and motivation.
2. I'm incredibly easy to work with. I used to organise events myself, so I understand the hard work and worry that goes into putting them on. I work with clients like you to make events awesome.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Whatever you need. In-person, online or hybrid are all fine for me.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Covid-19 is so passé. Bark needs to keep up with the times!
Away days and off-sites
As a psychologist, I can help teams escape the mental noise of their day-to-day jobs and get the most out of off-site events.
My talks focus on how the audience can think more strategically about the long-term future and make better decisions with conviction, despite the uncertainty.
In particular, I explore with the audience members:
- The increasing psychological challenges of uncertainty they face every day.
- How they can shift their mindsets to take advantage of the opportunities change and uncertainty create.
- The steps they can take to ensure their decisions will have maximum positive impact.
