ABOUT ADA PARRIS

I’m a strategic futurist, artist, and board chair exploring how technology, ecology, and consciousness co-evolve.As Chair of Mental Health First Aid England, Fellow of the RSA, and author of Leadership Legacy (Wiley, 2026), I help leaders and organisations turn uncertainty into foresight and complexity into coherent transformation.I’m the founder of The Presence Lab™ and creator of Source Patterns Intelligence™ and the TERRA Framework™, methodologies that help leaders navigate complexity through presence rather than control.Recognised by Forbes Brazil among the world’s most influential futurists, my work brings together foresight, embodiment, and ancestral wisdom to guide people and systems through irreversible change, in boardrooms, communities, and the digital landscapes we’re still learning to inhabit.My new book, Leadership Legacy: A Manifesto to Create a Mindful Future and a Thriving Planet, explores how we can lead with coherence when technology, ecology, and consciousness converge.Through The Presence Lab™ and the TERRA Framework™, I help people and organisations move through transformation with integrity, imagination, and care. I study how technologies, cultures, and institutions behave as living ecosystems, not machines to control, but relationships to tend.My creative practice spans immersive sound installations, community ritual, and ceremonial art, exploring how we sense futures before they arrive. Recent works include Dystopian Dreams, Electronic Graves (IAB Italia, 1,500 participants) and Entangled Imaginations: Earth Echoes (Friends of the Earth partnership).I collaborate with senior leaders, institutions, and creative organisations ready to reimagine leadership not as control, but as presence. As stewardship. As renewal.The question I ask, of myself and of others, is simple:What type of ancestor do you want to be? a•••@adahparris.com adahparris.com Book a conversation: https://calendly.com/adahparris/30minute
