297 The Near Futurist with Guy Clapperton

Can you remember watching Tomorrow's World fascinated by advancements in technology and science and being curious as to what would ever become a reality? With a keen finger on the pulse of what the near future holds for us, media trainer and senior journalist Guy Clapperton appears to be ahead of the curve. In a world where anyone can now be a global broadcaster and journalist from their own home, Guy has already been home working for two decades. Guy is ready for tomorrow's world today. He is the near futurist.   KEY TAKEAWAY "It'd be nice to have a look around and see how much of that near future actually happened that I predicted and then keep extremely quiet about the bits that didn't!"   BOOK RECOMMENDATION* Factfulness by Hans Rosling - https://amzn.to/3B0h8OU   ABOUT GUY Guy Clapperton has been training people to talk to the media and to present for 20 years and has been doing so virtually since the late 2000s. This was clunky, with slower internet connections, relatively poor microphones on laptops and if you were lucky you might have a webcam. His objective was and is to ensure the speaker gets their point across and isn't distracted by journalists with agendas and other distractions. A veteran journalist, he has seen many conference speeches, presentations and Zoom courses that were eminently forgettable – talk to him to make sure yours isn't among them!   CONNECT WITH GUY https://www.linkedin.com/in/guyclappertonmediatraining/     ABOUT THE HOST - AMY ROWLINSON Amy is a Life Purpose Coach, Podcast Strategist, Top 1% Global Podcaster, Speaker, Mastermind Host and Property Investor.
