Insights on leading with Empathy, Courage and Curiosity in a Complex World
Engage with two luminaries of the head and heart—author and educator of modern wisdom, Ariel Burger, and Co-Founder and Creative Director of Small Giants, Berry Liberman. Together, we’ll explore the intersections of memory, learning, and our shared responsibility to repair the world.
Drawing on his firsthand experience of the practices and teachings of Nobel Prize Winner Elie Wiesel, along with his own rich leadership in peace, Ariel weaves together profound insights into how we can stay present in the moment we are living in.
His storytelling inspires us to lead from a place of empathy, courage, and curiosity—showing how small, intentional actions can create ripples of transformation. Ariel shares his wisdom and practical tools for working towards a more compassionate and interconnected world amidst polarisation and conflict.
The free wisdom webinar is supported by our friends at Australian Ethical.
Meet Ariel Burger:
Ariel Burger weaves his spirituality, story-telling, pedagogical insights and artistic capacities to develop strategies for social change. Beautifully written in his own words, Ariel’s mission “... is to help counter superficiality with nuance, to replace estrangement with encounter, and to empower people to be creative and kind citizens of the world.” He is also the founding director of the Witness Institute, a space, body of work and community deeply inspired by the legacy of Ariel’s teacher Elie Wiesel. We highly recommend reading Ariel's 2018 book ‘Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom’
Meet Berry Liberman:
Berry Liberman is a pioneering impact investor, businesswoman, philanthropist, storyteller and filmmaker. As co-founder of Australia’s first B-Corporation, the Small Giants Family Office, Berry and her husband Danny Almagor create and support media, investment, and education initiatives with the purpose of moving towards a Next Economy model: supporting human flourishing within our collective natural limits.
Berry was the editor in chief and publisher of Dumbo Feather for 12 years and is the creative director of Small Giants Academy, an educational initiative providing courses in progressive business, investing, and leadership.
She is an accomplished speaker, interviewer and thought leader on the Next Economy. Berry’s radical curiosity and intelligence are as expansive as her big-hearted love for people and planet alike. With warmth, humour and deep relatability, Berry urges leaders from all sectors to face a changing economy before it’s too late to have that choice.
Small Giants is located on the traditional lands of the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
