Signature Keynotes
Three perspectives on AI, work, and opportunity
Adina’s signature keynotes explore AI from three connected perspectives: how work is changing, how professionals can build career advantage, and why the opportunities created by AI are not being shared evenly. Each keynote can be tailored to the audience, sector, and level of AI experience, and may include audience interaction, real examples, and live demonstrations to connect the ideas to the people in the room.
Keynote #1
AI and the New Rules of Work
AI is changing more than the tools people use. It is changing how work gets done, how tasks are divided between people and AI, and what organizations expect from different roles. Rather than focusing on predictions about jobs disappearing, Adina explores how work is already evolving and what these changes mean for human expertise, judgment, and responsibility.
Participants consider where AI can contribute, where people still need to lead, and how the two can work together effectively.
Best suited for: Professional and industry conferences, business and leadership events, professional associations, and university audiences.
Keynote #2
The AI Career Advantage
As AI becomes part of everyday work, knowing how to use AI tools will not be enough to create a career advantage. Adina explores how professionals and emerging professionals can use AI to learn faster, strengthen their skills, and adapt to changing roles while continuing to build the expertise, judgment, and human capabilities that create value.
The keynote focuses on how to use AI not simply to work faster, but to become more capable, adaptable, and valuable in a changing workplace.
Best suited for: Professional associations, alumni and career events, universities, and organizations focused on professional development.
Keynote #3
Who Gets Ahead in the AI Era?
AI adoption is not happening evenly. Who benefits from AI can depend on profession, industry, organization size, gender, geography, and access to the right tools and support. Adina explores what drives these differences, including exposure, confidence, organizational culture, and resources, and why they matter for careers, competitiveness, and opportunity.
The keynote examines what helps people and organizations move beyond simply having access to AI to actually using it in ways that create value.
Best suited for: Business and leadership events, women’s networks, workforce organizations, universities, and policy or multilateral forums.
Keynote #4
What Should Students Still Learn?
When AI can research, write, and solve problems in seconds, education faces a more important question than whether students should be allowed to use it: what do students still need to know and be able to do for themselves? Adina explores how educators can decide what students should learn independently, where AI can support learning, and when using AI effectively should become part of what students are expected to learn.
The keynote focuses on protecting the development of knowledge, judgment, and critical thinking while preparing students for a world in which AI will increasingly shape how work gets done.
Best suited for: Education conferences, school districts, universities, teaching and learning centres, and professional-development events for educators.
