EP 10: Hope, Agency and Being a Pathway Agnostic - Rowena Morrow

Rowena Morrow covers the three main foresight career paths, student/teacher, independent consultant and organisational futurist. She discusses how to succeed in those roles, how Hope Theory is one of the cornerstones of her practice and how Foresight is most useful to clients, by not talking about foresight directly.
