Giles’s TEDx Talk
Giles’s mission: “Help humanity reconnect with nature’s wisdom, and in particular by activating the logic–of–life for leaders.”
Giles’s one-line message to the world: “What is within us is within everything. And let’s learn to open our eyes, our ears, and our body-mind to the song-lines and the synchronicities of life so that we learn to read the book of life, to co-create and participate with the book of life, and in so doing step into what it means to be truly human.”
