Leading in the A.I. Age: Turn Tech Anxiety Into Strategic Advantage
A.I. Strategy • Leadership Development • Future Of Work • A.I. Transformation • Human-Centered Design • Sustainable Business Growth
We’re entering a new era of work — one shaped by Artificial Intelligence, rapid change, and overwhelming complexity. But here’s the truth no one’s saying loud enough: A.I. won’t fix our broken systems.
We can’t automate our way out of dysfunction. We can’t innovate with yesterday’s blueprint. And we definitely can’t lead for the future using workplace systems built for the past.
This provocative keynote challenges leaders to master Future Design™ — the art of building human-centered systems that thrive alongside A.I. — and makes the case for architecting workplaces where technology amplifies human potential instead of replacing it.
You’ll learn how to design tomorrow’s workplace, build systems that energize rather than drain, and lead humans (and machines) into a future everyone can love.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
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.
