What's different about Cameron
Cameron has crafted moving, fact-based stories as a trial lawyer out of Harvard Law School, as a public speaker for the Corporate Executive Board, as a coach to people seeking and crafting identities for career and retirement, and as an entrepreneur pitching startup companies to investors, partners, customers, and media.
Cameron brings audiences and readers the diversity of thought and experience of a writer, an entrepreneur, a lawyer, an executive coach and talent builder, and a passionate student of:
• great writing and literature
• history and psychology
• the world’s wisdom traditions, myths, and religions
• nature and technology
In the last decade Cameron has spoken to audiences and written about disrupting talent, hiring for story, and building teams, storytelling for fundraising and employer brands, the risks, rewards, and ethics of GenAI, legacy and meaning in life, and the courage-making, gratitude-boosting power of the Legacy Mindset.
A little background ...
Entrepreneur & Leader
Cameron has applied the same legacy mindset techniques of bravening
himself to the fear and uncertainty (and high chance of failure)
inherent in reinventing himself in new professions — law, business,
writing, coaching, consulting — and starting up new companies – 12 so
far, each in a totally different industry – while building psychologically
safe, highly engaged teams of diverse thought and experience.
Relationships
Motivated for connection by a divorce, the loss of his mother, and the
social isolation of the pandemic, Cameron embarked on a mission to
connect people during COVID. The social groups he built still meet,
almost five years later, and many of the members have become lifelong
friends.
Meanwhile, Cameron himself has leveraged a legacy mindset to make
some of life’s biggest, scariest decisions: whether to commit to another
human being (shown here), and whether to bring a new life into the
world (pending).
Play and Experimentation
Since he began applying a legacy mindset to his own life, toggling into
the thoughts and feelings of his future self, Cameron has launched into
a creative renaissance of new connections and collaborations, projects,
experiments, and adventures, all of them still subject to failure, but
failure he now fears less than ever before.
Cameron Will Bring the Party
If you invite Cameron to an event where music starts playing, be
prepared—he will likely dance on command, with little concern for his
personal safety.
