A.I. Clarity: How To Cut Through Confusion and Lead With Confidence

PERFECT IF YOU NEED:

A.I. Strategy • Leadership Development • Future Of Work • Digital Transformation • Team Alignment • Strategic Communication • Practical A.I. Adoption

A.I. isn’t the threat — confusion about A.I. is.

Your people have conflicting ideas about what it is, how it works, and whether it’s coming for their jobs. That confusion creates paralysis, anxiety, and wasted time debating instead of executing.

This keynote cuts through the noise and gets everyone on the same page.

Using a simple three-part framework — 1) Understand, 2) Connect, 3) Elevate — optimistic futurist Josh Allan Dykstra gives leaders the clarity and confidence to lead A.I. transformation without the chaos.

You’ll learn exactly what A.I. actually is (and isn’t), how to think strategically about where it fits in your work, and powerful principles that will guide your A.I. transformation at every level.

YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO:
  • Understand A.I. Without the Hype – Cut through the confusion with three essential truths about what A.I. actually is. This clarity eliminates fear, stops the endless debates, and gets your team moving forward with confidence instead of paralysis.
  • Connect Your Team for A.I. Transformation – Discover why psychological safety is your secret weapon in the A.I. age. You can’t trust A.I., so you need to trust your people. Learn how to build the trusted, aligned team that turns A.I. disruption into opportunity.
  • Elevate Beyond the Noise – Learn why the future belongs to leaders who create space for wisdom, not just speed. Discover how to rise above A.I. chaos, cultivate depth and strategic clarity, and become the leader who helps others navigate what’s next with calm and confidence.
WHY THIS MATTERS TO ME

The story behind this keynote...

I hate bandwagons.

When everyone became an “A.I. expert” overnight, I ran the other way. Let’s be honest: nobody really knows what’s going to happen next in the A.I.-sphere. Even after closing #lovework, I resisted giving the A.I. talk everyone expected from a tech CEO + futurist. But you can’t dodge the future forever when you’ve made a career pointing at it.

So instead of creating a surface-level A.I. spiel, I went dark for a year. Studied. Listened. Learned. Let the hype die a little and some real patterns emerge. Then I tested early versions, watching what actually landed with real leaders facing real problems and doubled down on what moves the needle: mindset shifts that help you thrive when everything’s just plain frickin’ weird.

What you get isn’t another chatbot tricks tour. It’s battle-tested wisdom for leading humans (and machines) through the beautiful chaos of tomorrow.
