EVENTS:
The Dynamic Leadership Forum: August 7 & 8, 2026
Microsoft UK Headquarters, 2 Kingdom Street, London, W2 6BD
FEATURING
TheProfessor L. Fontaine
The Dynamic Leadership Forum: a global, cross‑industry forum bringing together senior leaders and their sponsored rising executives.
DIRECTOR LEVEL AND ABOVE | SPONSORED RISING EXECUTIVES
The day will focus on leadership experiences and insights designed to support the following:
- Leading with impact – Driving outcomes through people and influence
- Authentic leadership – Building trust, presence, and resilience
- Scaling through others – Coaching, sponsorship, and amplifying diverse talent
- Career navigation – Breaking boundaries and accelerating career progression
The foundation of Fontanian Dynamic Leadership refuses the split between the professional and the personal.
During The Dynamic Leadership Forum, you are the subject. You are the topic. The content is you. Nothing is settled in advance, because the material comes from what is alive in the room that day.
Be prepared to confront yourself, to challenge yourself, to be surprised by yourself and to be caught off guard: laughter, discomfort, elation, the full range. Nothing here is handed over; it is conducted, and you are what it runs through. How much reaches you depends on how much of yourself you bring, and how little of it you bring already decided.
While you may be given some tools, the emphasis is on the person holding the tools.

These companion podcasts expose you to perspective-shifting insights from TheProfessor L. Fontaine's book, Your Assumptions Challenged, edited by Nicole King. Each episode features an engaging, AI-generated dialogue that systematically and rigorously analyzes key insights of TheProfessor's core messages. Through these accessible discussions, listeners can explore new ways of understanding their daily experiences and challenging their established assumptions.
Like the book itself, these podcasts are designed for depth rather than speed. Each episode reveals new layers of understanding with repeated listening, allowing insights to crystallize over time. While the conversations are immediately engaging, their full value emerges through reflection and repeated engagement - each listen bringing fresh perspectives to light. These podcasts serve as a companion to each of the Your Assumptions Challenged chapters, enriching the reading experience by making complex ideas more approachable through conversation. Rather than consuming multiple episodes in succession, listeners benefit most by giving each discussion time to resonate and integrate with their own experiences.
Special Series:
These podcasts also feature a Special Series that extends TheProfessor's fundamental approach across diverse topics. While exploring varied subjects, the Special Series episodes maintain the same penetrating inquiry that defines TheProfessor's way of examining life: questioning our most basic assumptions about what we consider "normal" or "right," revealing how our culturally inherited beliefs often work against us, and challenging the automatic responses we mistake for truth or common sense.
Whether addressing contemporary issues, timeless questions, or unexpected connections, each Special Series episode demonstrates TheProfessor's core insight that our default patterns of thinking are often the very things keeping us trapped and creating our own misery.
