Igniting the Fusion of Technology and Humanity

This keynote is perfect for the technically skilled audience, who are navigating the changes brought on by Generative AI, managing the crossroads of business and IT, and being challenged to deliver adaptive leadership approaches. Learn why technology must be the servant, not the master in a world of business vying to automate everything.

Adapting to the Ever-Changing Workplace

There has never been a time in recent history where being adaptable is more important. This is equally true for leaders and organizations as it is for individuals. In this talk, we dissect how to navigate through change, address changing perspectives, stabilize to build confidence and trust and remain connected. Being adaptable requires agility; learn how agility plays out in three levels of the organization.

Real, Not Retro The Leaders We Need Today
