364 David Whyte: Time and Invitational Leadership

David Whyte is a poet philosopher, and is the author of twelve books of poetry and five books of prose, including his latest, Consolations II, the Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words, which further explores what David calls “the conversational nature of reality.”
His 2017 TED talk has had over 1.2 million views where with his signature charm and searching insight, he meditates on the frontiers of the past, present and future, sharing two poems inspired by his niece's hike along El Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. 
David Whyte’s sessions have been woven in to long term executive leadership programs with organisations such as Mattel, Standard Chartered Bank, The Gap, Boeing, AstraZenica, and Novartis, and he is an Associate at the Said Business School. 
He draws from hundreds of memorised poems of his own, and other beloved poets and he speaks to his body of work he has developed working with organisations for over 25 years, around Conversational Leadership, speaking to audiences all of the globe with his inimitable gifts. He has also hosted a live online series, Three Sundays, every other month since 2020.
David holds a degree in marine zoology and has traveled extensively, including living and working as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leading anthropological and natural-history expeditions in the Andes, Amazon, and Himalayas. He is the recipient of two honorary degrees: from Neumann University in Pennsylvania and Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia.
David grew up with a strong, imaginative influence from his Irish mother among the hills and valleys of his father’s Yorkshire and now makes his home in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. 
It was truly an honour to have this conversation with David, coming to us all the way from Costa Rica, as he prepares to visit Australia again. As we commenced the year with tragedy again dominating our screens, and the sense that the ground we’re upon just got that little bit shakier, David’s wisdom is like a balm.
Many people who have had the fortune to be in the same room as David would implore you to take that opportunity if it ever arose – and so do we.
His masterful storytelling, poetry and philosophy truly transforms.
We’re hosting three workshops across Byron Bay and Sydney with David in February, head over to our website at Community to learn more and book.
