Leading Through Systems: The 2025 Cosmic Conference Opening Keynote

We’re kicking off the 2025 Cosmic Conference with an opening keynote you won’t want to miss.In this episode, Marilyn Zakhour, CEO & Founder of Cosmic Centaurs, introduces this year’s theme and makes the case for why systems thinking is an essential skill for leaders navigating complexity.Over the past year, many leaders have shared how they feel stuck in firefighting mode, solving urgent problems only to see the same issues resurface. What these stories reveal isn’t a failure of leadership, but of the systems we rely on.In her keynote, Marilyn explores how shifting from heroic problem-solver to systems architect can liberate leaders from recurring challenges and open the way for decisions that are not just effective, but also scalable and sustainable.This episode also sets the stage for a six-week journey across Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Beirut, and online where the Cosmic Conference will dive deeper into how leaders can sense, influence, and redesign the systems they lead in.📅 September 15 – November 4, 2025 📍 Dubai • Riyadh • Abu Dhabi • Beirut • Online
