Island of Knowledge Institute, Tuscany (April 2025)
Reimagining Human Flourishing through the Lens of Planetary Self
At the Island of Knowledge Institute in Italy, Everard Findlay was invited to contribute to a global inquiry on the future of civilization and the urgent need to redefine human flourishing. The gathering posed essential questions: How do we inspire transformative action? What narratives empower agency rather than fear? And how do stories — both personal and collective — shape our shared evolution?
Everard Findlay blends branding and social innovation to empower CEOs, heads of state, and thought leaders to invest in a future that benefits citizens, the environment, and society as a whole while building profitability and growth.
Findlay has served on the board of GrowNYC, the Council for the Environment of New York City since 2009 and is currently Communications Chair. He is a founding trustee of The Museum of the Courageous, NeueHouse, tenured board member of Soho House, UNDP Turning Tables, Dartmouth College’s Institute for Cross-engagement, The New York Times’ Friends of TimesTalks Committee and The National Center for Children in Poverty.
