Esther Jacobs on Life as a Digital Nomad: dream or nightmare

Our world is changing. New technology provides access and connectivity to everybody, faster and cheaper flights enable us to go wherever we want. And there is a growing ‘army’ of location independent entrepreneurs who are creating their dream life, using these new possibilities.

Is this a trend or revolution? A growing number of companies seems to adhere to the ‘revolution theory’ and are adapting a flexible or even ‘remote only’ policy. Some are very successful because of that. But beware: being a pioneer is not always easy.

How can you free your inner ‘digital nomad’ and/or attract those entrepreneurs to (or within) your organization?

This talk will inspire you to see a different world of possibilities and will help you answer the question whether this ‘remote’ movement is a threat or opportunity to you or your business…
