Join us for this 75 minute Australasia/Asia timezone friendly talk by author Niloufar Khonsari!

In this book talk, Niloufar Khonsari will share reflections from her new book The Future Is Collective – an exploration of how we might build workplaces that feel more aligned with our values. Drawing from over two decades in social justice movements and nonprofit leadership, Nilou will offer stories, lessons learned, and a few practical frameworks for sharing power more intentionally. This won’t be a step-by-step workshop, but an honest conversation about moving from strict hierarchy toward more participatory and caring ways of working.

Together, we’ll reflect on questions many of us are carrying: How do we create workplaces where people genuinely feel valued and trusted? How do we align our internal practices with the change we want to see in the world? And what does leadership look like when it is rooted in care? Expect a thoughtful, grounded, and relatable conversation – one that offers inspiration, some concrete takeaways, and space to imagine what’s possible for your own organization or community.
