Journey Further invites you to their event

How To: Be More Pirate with Alex Barker — Journey Further Book Club [live]

About this event

The time has come when breaking the rules is the right thing to do.

Faced with chaotic leadership, growing inequality, business disruption and an impending climate crisis, Sam Conniff's 2018 bestseller 'Be More Pirate' was the rallying cry so many needed to hear. Now he has handed over the mic to Alex Barker and the thousands of people who have turned the book into a movement.

Enter the stories of the real life pirates 🏴‍☠️

Join us for a Journey Further Book Club [live] with author and pirate, Alex Barker.

As part of our current theme of problem-solving, host Isabelle Wilkinson will be asking Alex:

  • What it means to 'be more pirate'
  • What to do with that nagging feeling that there must be a better way to do things
  • How we can rewrite our own rules - at home, at work and beyond
  • How to think more creatively about problem solving

How to join the conversation:

We will be using polls, live chat and Q&A throughout to ask Alex your questions, and bring you into the discussion.
