Making Global Connections

Leigh Bureau speakers travel internationally all the time. With customers based in all corners of the world, we believe it makes sense to align existing travel plans with new speaking opportunities. This makes sensible use of the speakers time and it helps that the travel costs can be shared for customers.

Here below is a sample of some forthcoming trips for a selection of speakers — if you have an interest in creating a 'tie-in' to one of these dates or you would like to enquire who may be visiting your region soon please give us a call on +353 12302322 or send an email to Europe@leighbureau.com.

Nassim N. Taleb
Bestselling Author of The Black Swan and author of the new book Antifragile; Expert on Risk and Uncertainty

The world's foremost thinker on
probability and uncertainty.


Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, randomness, human error, probability, and the philosophy of knowledge. He transformed his interests into three successful careers — as a man of letters, a businessman-trader-risk manager, and a university professor. His books, Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in 31 languages with more than 3 million copies in print. In his newest book, Antifragile, Taleb tells us how to live in a world that is unpredictable and chaotic. And how to love randomness, uncertainty, opacity, adventure and disorder while benefitting from a variety of shocks. Taleb specializes in uncertainty and errors in human knowledge, teaching us how to deal with unpredictability. Nassim is a Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering, New York University Poly Institute.
