From the newsroom to navigating the unknown, Andrea Clarke has lived a life at the edge of change. As a former television reporter and foreign correspondent in Washington, D.C., she’s faced high-pressure moments, ethical dilemmas, and unexpected challenges—and turned them into lessons for leaders and teams.

Andrea shares the stories behind her work as a futurist, author, and speaker, revealing how she helps people anticipate disruption, build resilience, and shape intentional futures. From losing a job abroad for whistleblowing to lessons from her dad handling a plane engine stall mid-flight, Andrea’s experiences are as gripping as they are insightful.
