What if being lucky was a skill you could master and share? Join London School of Economics innovator and entrepreneur Christian Busch to learn how to seize unexpected opportunities.
Modern life is full of chance encounters, changing plans, delayed journeys, human errors and other mishaps, but what if we used this unpredictability to our advantage?
Dr Christian Busch has spent a decade exploring how, if acted upon, unexpected encounters can enhance our worldview, expand our social circles and create new professional opportunities.
From couples who first interacted during chance encounters to businesspeople who invented multi-million ideas after a best-laid plan misfired, Christian has studied hundreds of subjects who improved their lives by learning to see opportunities in the unexpected.
In this talk, he will reveal an essential life skill that we can all develop in a few simple steps: the serendipity mindset. By learning to identify, act on and share serendipity, we can use uncertainty as a pathway to more joyful, purposeful and successful lives.
A serendipity mindset can help you to:
• Make accidents more meaningful
• Find meaning in a crisis
• Create “smart luck” – for yourself and the people you love
• Find your next job (and rethink your career)
• Always expect the unexpected
Don’t miss this “wise, exciting and life-changing” (Arianna Huffington) talk from a leading entrepreneur as he shares insights into the new science of success.

The Serendipity Mindset is a bracing and hopeful antidote to a world addicted to efficiency and control’ Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of When and Drive
