Finding Clarity in a World Designed to Distract You<\/b><\/p>\n
In a world where everything competes for our attention, how do we find the space to think clearly, make meaningful decisions, and recognise what we can truly influence?<\/p>\n
Join us for an inspiring evening of conversation, reflection, and celebration as economist, leadership strategist, and author Chisom Udeze<\/b>\u00a0launches her new book, Hostile to Thinking: Finding Clarity in a World Designed to Distract You<\/i>.<\/p>\n
More than a traditional book launch, this event invites us to explore how we navigate an increasingly noisy and complex world, and how we can reclaim clarity in our personal lives, workplaces, and communities.<\/p>\n
At the heart of the book is the Three Clarities framework<\/b>, built around three essential questions:<\/p>\n Who Are You?<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Understanding your identity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Where Are You?<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Recognising the context and systems around you.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n What Can You Actually Influence?<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Identifying where your power lies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Drawing on lived experiences, real-world case studies, and practical insights, Chisom and our guest speakers will explore the relationship between individual agency and the systems that shape our everyday lives.<\/p>\n Whether you’re a leader, professional, entrepreneur, parent, or simply someone seeking greater clarity in uncertain times, this evening offers fresh perspectives and meaningful conversations to take with you.<\/p>\n Chisom Udeze<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Economist, Author, Executive Director of Diversify, and CEO of Chiije<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Miriam Petra \u00d3marsd\u00f3ttir Awad<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Senior Adviser, The Icelandic Centre for Research (RANN\u00cdS)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Jon Gunnar Thordarson<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 CEO & Founder of Bara tala<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Paula Gould<\/b>\u00a0\u2014 Founder of Float and Gather & Co-Founder of WomenTechIceland<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Chisom Udeze<\/b>\u00a0is an Oslo-based economist, leadership strategist, and founder with nearly two decades of experience working with organisations including the European Commission, the United Nations, and The Economist Group.
