Quantum Computing for Business

AI software is advancing at lightning speed. But what about the hardware? Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years. But there are physical limitations of how small transistors can be. Introducing Quantum Computing and the fascinating Qbit; a system that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations much faster than classical computers. The wild world of the very, very small and its implications for AI into the future.


The Robots are Coming: Embodied AI and The Future of Work

The robots are here! We examine the rapid advancements in humanoid robots and their AI-powered brains. Figure 02, Atlas and Optimus as well as the exploding Chinese market. Why now? And what does all this have to do with AI? A lot; and it’s not slowing down. The societal impacts of embodied AI, the future of work and the ethical considerations as we share our homes, factories and offices with a new worker.

Stand-up Comedy for Business Communication

Nothing is harder than delivering a “tight five” in a crowded bar. For a professional keynote speaker seeking to level up, stand-up comedy is the perfect training ground. Specifically, learning the tricks and techniques of comedians. Enter the comedic Dojo and learn the secrets to engaging your audience. In addition, we learn how to weave joy and laughter into the workplace to increase engagement and sharpen our focus.

AI topics:

AI-Powered Professional: AI for your work, for your future

What's AI, and how does it work? What is a “Mixture of Experts”, what is “Running Inference”? Together, we learn about the complex world of Large Language Models; we focus on the large text-generators – ChatGPT, Copilot, DeepSeek Mistral, Perplexity - and understand what they can and can’t do and explore what all of this means for us Humans. Tap into the power of the Human-AI Co-Creation methodology and mindset for the Non-Technical Professional.

AI Leadership: the AI Integration Roadmap

No matter where your organization stands on the spectrum of AI understanding and adoption, the process of AI integration follows a fairly predictable path. Having a roadmap to shine a light on what needs to happen and when ensures that all members of an organization gain a solid understanding of AI at the same time. Replace the fear of change with knowledge and empowerment and start building your AI Integration Roadmap today.

AI Sentience: Can an Advanced Algorithm Achieve Consciousness?

Are we on the brink of creating a sentient AI that not only thinks but feels, and knows the nature of its existence? We explore the creepy, eerie emergence of a non-Human consciousness in machines and look at a few unsettling real-life cases and grapple with the ethics, rights, and potential dangers of sentient AI. A matter of time and engineering, a new reality beckons. Is our legal system ready for The Right to Internet, Electricity and the Pursuit of Training Data for Sentient AI?

Multimodal AI: Creative AI for Non-Technical Professionals

What's Multimodal AI, and how does it work? How will this new way of working superpower our skills as a Human professional? We explore AI, learn it’s language, and brain. We understand it’s modes – text, image, music, audio, voice and video – and pull apart the tools to become multi-modal prompt engineers, from ElevenLabs, Sora, Runway, Midjourney, Adobe and more. We examine the power of combined mode Human-AI Co-Creators; it can and can’t do and look at what’s to come.

vanced AI: VibeCoding and Unchained Models

Applied AI for Non-Technical Professionals. What is happening in AI now, and what do you need to know for your work? Take your AI to the next level: build your advanced “stack”, learn VibeCoding and how to build an unchained, in-house model. What you need to know to for the transition ahead: the data, talent and IT requirements, risks and regulations.

Non-AI topics:

Habits of High Visibility Leaders

Inspiring leaders share certain habits; they walk the corridors, are seen at the lunchrooms and participate in the after-work drink rituals. But more often than not, our top-level leaders live in another world; they work at the same company with the same goals, vision, use the same elevators, but are often invisible to the community working around them. Learn how to increase your presence, visibility and interaction with the people making the company run while still meeting the needs of stakeholders, clients, partners and board members.

Burning out, and “Burning in”

An invisible, little-known phenomenon that affects high-functioning teams and is just as dangerous as burnout; it's called "Burn In". It's when we do it to ourselves, perpetuating an unsustainable state of perpetual over-delivery. We do more, take on more, work more hours, deliver more. So often, leaders see low engagement numbers and turn to their Engagement Managers to offer more: more yoga, more mindfulness, more meditation, more coaching. Learn the keys to true workplace wellbeing, building in space for silence and creativity for improved engagement and sustainability.

Radical Listening - Building a Culture of Collaboration

In this time of talent wars and high rates of resignation, keeping employees happy and not quitting is a matter of business survival. Radical Listening means taking every chance you can to ask the opinions of your community on any issue that is open for input. From the small (what sort of muffins do we serve?) to the large (how many days a week do we return to the office?). The key is immediate, visible delivery within 48 hours. This builds trust in the data collection system as a whole and at the same time, creates a more accurate picture of the current state of engagement.

H2H Communication: “Human to Human"

Communication, in the end, is one Human speaking and listening to another Human. Whether this is done on a massive scale across digital channels or in a small room on-site. As the post-pandemic world rebuilds itself and shapes a new path forward, we need to re-examine how we communicate and use the power of our humanity to form a connection. Our ability to be the signal amidst the noise of our current media landscape of pseudo- and hyper-connected social media is what makes us a master communicator.
