AI & LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE SPEAKER
I speak about AI fluency and the human side of AI adoption: how people change the way they work, and what leaders ask of them. And I think we sometimes underestimate what we’re asking of people.

My aim is to draw people in, share a perspective they hadn’t considered, and help them take a meaningful next step.
Better judgment starts with better questions.
We’ll look at what to trust, what to question, and where we still need to learn. I want leaders to feel comfortable asking those questions themselves, and making room for their teams to do the same.
For leaders making decisions about how their teams work with AI.
WHAT PEOPLE CAN TAKE AWAY
Identify where AI can help, where an answer needs checking, and what you need to keep learning.
Let’s talk about your audienceBefore you call your team resistant to AI.
Someone can see the value of AI and still return to what they know. We’ll look at what makes change difficult, what support is missing, and where leaders might be getting in the way.
For organizations trying to turn AI access into thoughtful everyday practice.
WHAT PEOPLE CAN TAKE AWAY
Ask a more useful question about stalled adoption and find a practical next step for your team.
Let’s talk about your audienceWHAT I BRING TO THE ROOM
I’ve failed as a CEO. Twice.
I’ve also interviewed more than 150 executives on Executives After Hours, written The Crucible’s Gift, and lived on four continents. Those experiences shape how I see people and how I meet them where they are.
When AI asks someone who knows their job to become a beginner again, leadership matters. So does being comfortable admitting that you’re learning too.
