Leading in the A.I. Age: Turn Disruption Into Strategic Advantage
A.I. Strategy • Leadership Development • Future Of Work • A.I. Transformation • Human-Centered Design • Sustainable Business Growth
Most leaders think A.I. will solve their workplace problems… it won’t.
A.I. amplifies whatever we already have. Broken processes become broken faster. Dysfunctional teams become dysfunctional at scale. And energy-draining systems? A.I. just makes them more efficient at burning people out.
This keynote helps your team master Future Design™ — the art of building human-centered systems where technology amplifies human potential instead of replacing it, turning inevitable disruption into sustainable competitive advantage.
You’ll learn to design workplaces that energize instead of drain, and lead teams into a future worth building. More importantly, you’ll leave with practical frameworks that actually change how your organization operates starting Monday morning.
- Cut Through A.I. Noise and Design Energizing Focus – Quiet the chaos, clarify what actually matters, and architect work systems that fuel momentum and excitement instead of anxiety and burnout. Participants experience 29% more productivity and 16% less burnout as leaders apply these frameworks.
- Master Tomorrow’s Leadership Archetypes – Discover the three personas future-ready leaders embody: the Air Traffic Controller (coordinate complexity with clarity), the Scientist (experiment fast, fail smart), and the Tech VC (make bold bets and double down on what works). Organizations see faster innovation cycles as managers get comfortable with rapid experimentation.
- Future-Proof Your Career – Position yourself as an irreplaceable architect of tomorrow. Josh will show you how to spot emerging opportunities, reinvent yourself with confidence, and become the go-to leader who helps others navigate what’s next. Leaders run more energizing meetings that people want to attend.
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.
