Joining RIMScast today is jazz guitarist, CEO, author, tech entrepreneur, and RISKWORLD leadership keynote, Josh Linkner! As a self-proclaimed creative troublemaker, Josh uses live music as a metaphor for innovative collaboration and will be delivering the Awards and Leadership keynote at RISKWORLD on May 1st, 2023! His performance is unlike any other as he invites audience members to join the band to compose live music in front of their peers (which always ends in a cheering crowd!)

\\u201cThere are costs, to be clear. But I am hopeful that in the long run \\u2026 that the benefits of being focused on ESG outweigh the costs.\\u201d \\u2014 Josh Linkner

\\u201cAt the keynote specifically, I\\u2019m going to use live music \\u2014 specifically live jazz \\u2014 as a metaphor for leadership, for innovation, and of course, for many of the challenges and the opportunities that we have as risk management professionals.\\u201d \\u2014 Josh Linkner

\\u201cI think there is a real desire to be in-person. Obviously, there are many things that we can do remotely \\u2014 as we should. But there are also some things that we can\\u2019t. And there\\u2019s something really special about being present and having human connection.\\u201d \\u2014 Josh Linkner
\\xa0
\\u201cNow, in the world of remote or hybrid work, we\\u2019re often \\u2026 accomplishing a lot \\u2026 but what it lacks is that deeply present human connection.\\u201d \\u2014 Josh Linkner
