This unique Curiosity Talk brings together distinguished environmentalists for a thought-provoking conversation in the month of World Environment Day as they share their perspectives on some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. They discuss the opportunities for individuals and communities to make a meaningful difference. As seasoned professionals, we have witnessed tremendous change across decades and understand the power of long-term thinking. What can an agricultural innovator, a sustainable construction leader, and a transformation consultant learn from one another? Whether they work with farms, cities, factories, or boardrooms, each speaker is fundamentally dealing with the responsible management of resources for future generations.

What 25 years at the intersection of money and human behaviour teaches you about the money mindset to get financially flexible. Careers today don't follow a script. They pause, pivot, accelerate, and sometimes restart entirely — often at moments we didn't choose. Yet most financial thinking is still built around a world that no longer exists: linear careers, predictable retirements, stable trajectories. Prashant Agarwal has spent 25 years studying how people actually navigate money across the messy, unpredictable reality of modern professional lives. As a global strategist, money mindset coach, and the creator of CLIFF — Comfortable Living In Financial Flexibility — he has built a framework specifically for people navigating non-linear careers and longer lives. CLIFF isn't just the title of his book. It's a way of thinking about money that Prashant developed over 15 years of working with professionals at exactly the kind of inflection points this audience knows well. In this candid online conversation, Prashant shares what he's learned, what most people get wrong, and what financial flexibility actually looks like when you're in the middle of a transition — planned or otherwise. And as a bonus: every attendee will receive Prashant's free CLIFF Blueprint — a practical, take-home framework you can apply to your own financial picture immediately after the session. Come with questions. Leave with a sharper, more honest picture of where you stand — and a blueprint for what to do about it.

About the Session: Life need not peak only at youth. Better, deeper and more meaningful experiences can come with age. Age need not necessarily be seen as a loss of function. Age can bring more reflection and a renewed sense of purpose. It also means we need to view mental well-being as a vital aspect of healthy aging. This includes emotional balance, cognitive stimulation and retaining that sense of purpose. Aging can bring life changes including declining physical health, loss and other changes, which can increase a risk of loneliness and psychological distress. Key Takeaways: Looking after mental well-being involves staying connected, engaging in meaningful activities, staying physically active and nurturing a positive outlook. One also needs to know when and where to reach out for help. Being valued, connected and mentally stimulated improves quality of life and resilience.
