A transformative look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we value empathy, creativity, and connection in the workplace.
In a world shaped by artificial intelligence and constant change, success isn’t about replacing people, it’s about rediscovering their value.
While AI can streamline tasks, only humans bring empathy, creativity, and connection. This keynote explores how the future of work belongs to organizations that blend smart tools with even smarter teams, where technology scales, but people shape the soul of the business.
Audience Takeaways

Leave inspired to lean into empathy, creativity, and purpose as your organization’s greatest advantage.
In a world rushing to modernize, too many companies are losing the very thing that made them matter. Their soul. We’re seeing the rise of “generic” at the cost of “genuine.” In this keynote, Brandon Matthews takes audiences on a thought-provoking journey into what it means to keep your culture alive in an age of convenience and cost-cutting. It’s not just about your brand. It’s about vibe, values, and why people fall in love with you in the first place.

Today’s workplace is stuck in a standoff: employees are doing the bare minimum to survive, while employers are desperate for people to step up and take ownership.
This keynote unpacks the roots of the “minimum effort mindset” and offers a path forward where organizations create safe, purpose-driven cultures and employees are inspired to bring their best. It’s not about doing more for less. It’s about building a workplace where going above and beyond makes sense for everyone.
