Finding Certainty in an Uncertain World
April Rinne, Futurist and Change Navigator

April Rinne

Level Up your vision for the future. Imagine if you’d understood the implications of smartphones in 2006, hybrid work in 2015 or generative AI in 2022! April Rinne, author of the book Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change, will help you develop the skills needed to spot emerging trends early, understand their potential and apply your insights. 

Growth and success hinge not only on understanding the macro forces that will affect your firm and your clients, but even more so on your mindset toward uncertainty and your tolerance of the unknown. Rinne points the way to a fresh perspective that will position you to “be the flux” – ready and excited for whatever changes are ahead. 

April Rinne is a Harvard Law School graduate, a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum, and a Fulbright Scholar. Earlier in life she was a global development executive, an international microfinance lawyer and a hiking guide. She is also a certified yoga teacher.
