Moonshots & Breakthroughs

Through our interviews with inspiring entrepreneurs, we highlight bold and ambitious ideas that have the potential to revolutionise the future. These ideas might seem impossible now, but if not us, then who? Together, we can shape a more equitable and fair world for everyone.

Jen and Janine discussed developing an online or virtual version of Janine's renowned horse whispering leadership program, which could revolutionise how soft skills and communication techniques are taught globally by making the program accessible to more people regardless of location. Additional breakthrough ideas involve applying Janine's methods of equine communication to build stronger relationships between diverse groups and overcome cultural barriers. This has the potential to foster greater understanding worldwide. Conducting research to validate and better understand the psychological and physiological impacts of Janine's unique approach could also help transform many more lives on a larger scale by advancing how careers and leadership skills are enhanced.

Imagine if...

  • Leadership development programs utilised augmented or virtual reality to allow for fully immersive experiences with digital animals. This could make interactive, experiential learning more widely accessible.

  • Entrepreneurs partnered with educators to develop accredited courses based on successful business models. This may help validate unconventional approaches and integrate them into mainstream curriculum.
