40 minutes on why AI changes everything.
40 minutes on why AI changes everything. 3 minutes on what to do about it. That was the keynote. That was the problem.
Some time ago I was at a leadership conference. The room was nodding. The speaker was polished and confident.
After the talk, someone said it out loud: "That was fascinating. But what do we actually do on Monday?"
Nobody had an answer.
I go to these events because I genuinely love them. For me they are not networking. They are where I reflect, learn, and bring something back that I can actually use in my business or with my clients.
That last part matters. I do not just want to be informed. I want to be able to do something.
And I am also a keynote speaker myself. So I left that conference with two feelings at once. Frustrated as a participant. And quietly asking myself: am I doing the same thing to my audiences?
Impressed people nod. Equipped people act.
The question I ask before every talk I give now: what do I want people to do differently on Monday?
Ever left a conference inspired but stuck?
