Speaking Tracks

Talks that get people talking.

Custom content shaped to your audience and goals, with a few throughlines: be curious, be informed, and always be willing to be a beginner.

Track 01 · Heads

AI Leadership

The ground keeps shifting under every leader right now. This talk is about leading without pretending certainty: setting direction, making room to experiment, and staying ahead without claiming to see the whole path.

Executive briefing · Panel · Keynote
Track 02 · Hands

Applied AI

What's real, what's hype, and what to do Monday. A hands-on look at today's tools — what they can actually do, where they break, and how to fold AI into the work you already have. Co-intelligence, not another tab.

Keynote · Breakout
Track 03 · Heart

AI Mindset

Most rooms meet AI braced for impact. This talk unclenches them. Curiosity over fear, play as a real learning strategy, and the line I repeat from every stage: we all need to stay students right now.

Keynote · Breakout · Panel
Formats

Built for the room you have.

Every audience arrives with people at different temperatures — some curious, some skeptical, some quietly worried about their jobs. Reading that mix is half my job. I'll shape the session around that.

Keynote — the main stage

A custom keynote that sets the tone — energizing, practical, and tuned to your theme and audience. Best for a full room that needs one clear, memorable throughline.

Breakout — the focused session

A deeper, smaller-group session on the topic your people most need to move on right now — more room for questions, examples, and real specifics.

Not sure which fits? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

Looking for hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves sessions where your team builds alongside me? That lives on the training page.

Beyond the stage

I'll help you fill the room.

Twenty years in marketing before AI means I don't just show up and speak. I promote the session to my own audience, hand you announcement copy and graphics you can actually use, and keep engaging after the event ends.

In their words

“I learned more here than I did from any other AI talk offered.”
