The Gray Rhino: Author Michele Wucker Tells Us Why We Ignore Obvious Problems and How to Act on Them 

Please join us for a webinar with Michele Wucker, speaker, strategist, and author of “The Gray Rhino: How to Recognize and Act on The Obvious Dangers We Ignore.”  It is the best-selling English-language book in China (the Chinese President displays it on his bookshelf).  Michele Wucker coined the term “gray rhino” to describe obvious risks that are “neglected despite – indeed, often because of their size and likelihood.”  Her gray rhino metaphor has made headlines around the world. Commentators have mentioned it in nearly 300 articles and 40 countries since January. 
 

Michele’s 2019 TED Talk has attracted more than two million views. Our conversation with her will dive into “The Gray Rhino,” to explore her insights on leadership, uncertainty, global economics, COVID-19, and policy-making.
 
Michele is the CEO of her own management and non-profit consulting company. She has previously served as the Vice President for Studies at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, President of the World Policy Institute, and Latin America Bureau Chief at International Financing Review.
 
Michele earned a BA in French and Policy Studies at Rice University and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University.
 
The one-hour webinar will begin at 2:00 pm CST on Tuesday, July 28, 2020. Terri Brady, the Executive Director of Professional Development at Harris, will moderate.  Please join us.
