With record retirements, widening skill gaps, and the rapid rise of AI, organizations are facing a defining moment: react to change—or lead it. This keynote will explore how learning and development leaders can prepare their organizations to do the latter. We’ll unpack how to retain institutional knowledge, modernize leadership development, and integrate AI without sacrificing the human connection. Because while AI drives efficiency, people still follow people. L&D professionals will leave with the inspiration and insights to elevate leadership development in their organizations—focusing not just on tech-savviness, but on trust, adaptability, and emotional intelligence.
