Most leaders think A.I. will solve their workplace problems… it won’t. Read More >

A.I. amplifies whatever we already have. Broken processes become broken faster. Dysfunctional teams become dysfunctional at scale. And energy-draining systems? A.I. just makes them more efficient at burning people out.

This keynote helps your team master Future Design™ — the art of building human-centered systems where technology amplifies human potential instead of replacing it, turning inevitable disruption into sustainable competitive advantage.

You’ll learn to design workplaces that energize instead of drain, and lead teams into a future worth building. More importantly, you’ll leave with practical frameworks that actually change how your organization operates starting Monday morning.

• 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. Participants experience 29% more productivity and 16% less burnout as leaders apply these frameworks.
• 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). Organizations see faster innovation cycles as managers get comfortable with rapid experimentation.
• 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. Leaders run more energizing meetings that people want to attend.

It’s easy to give up on the future. Somewhere between childhood dreams of flying cars and our adult reality of endless crises, we lost our sense of wonder about what tomorrow could bring. Read More >

But here’s what the doomsday prophets won’t tell you: the future isn’t something that happens TO us. It’s something we get to design.

But we can’t build tomorrow with yesterday’s thinking. We can’t create breakthrough innovation with broken-down optimism. And we definitely can’t lead others toward a future we’re afraid to imagine.

This inspiring keynote challenges leaders to reclaim a romance with tomorrow and master Future Design™ — the art of transforming from tomorrow’s passenger into its architect.

You’ll fall in love with the future again, think like the builders who designed the “World of Tomorrow,” and turn your boldest visions into actionable blueprints.

In today’s chaotic business climate, leaders are drowning in uncertainty. A.I. is upending entire industries. Remote work is reshaping everything. Markets are volatile, and change never stops coming. It’s exhausting — and trying to navigate this with yesterday’s playbook is a losing game. Read More >

But what if uncertainty didn’t have to paralyze us? What if it could energize us? To thrive in this era of disruption, we must master the most powerful skill of tomorrow: Future Design™.

In this bold and inspiring keynote, futurist Josh Allan Dykstra reveals how to turn chaos into opportunity — equipping your leaders and teams with practical tools to become un-disruptable, think around corners, and build a future they love.
