Dr. Catriona Wallace Speaking Topics
With the release of Generative AI in November 2022, the world changed forever.
Technology’s intelligence and consciousness is advancing at a rate faster than humanity’s and we must now ask the following questions:
- Is AI technology useful, harmful or both?
- Who is guiding technology and its relationship to humanity?
- Where are we headed?
- Are we okay to passively continue with AI development knowing that it poses an existential risk, on par with nuclear war and pandemics?
- And … given there are no real laws or regulations that govern AI – what can we do?
Furthermore, just as we are getting our heads around this powerful AI technology, we are faced with the imminent arrival of Extended Reality, Metaverse and Quantum technologies.
In this important and highly topical keynote address, Dr Catriona Wallace will discuss: the current state of AI; humanity entering into the early stages of transhumanism; the power and invasiveness of AI and Metaverse worlds – the good and the bad; technology ethics and responsibility; and strategies for how we might direct technology for humanity’s good.
Key topics include: 1. AI and the Metaverse – what are they? Good or bad? 2. Technology vs human intelligence and consciousness 3. The age of Transhumanism, the future of technology and humanity 4. Development moratoriums & re-strategizing technology for good
In this keynote, Dr. Catriona Wallace unveils a radically new leadership framework built for today’s volatile world. Drawing on her groundbreaking book Rapid Transformation, she introduces a triadic model: Ancient Ritual, Altered States of Consciousness, and Transformative AI. Through this lens, leaders are empowered to shift rapidly — from reactive to visionary, from burnout to purpose.
Key Themes:
- The three pillars of Rapid Transformation
- Initiation, integration, and embodied leadership
- Leading in the face of AI, war, climate collapse, and mental health breakdown
- Shamanic and animist approaches to resilience and collective leadership
Ideal for: Executives, leadership teams, boards, future-focused strategists
AI is not just a tool — it is a transformative force. But will it evolve in the image of our trauma… or our wisdom? In this provocative keynote, Dr. Wallace explores the frontier of Transformative AI — systems designed to catalyze insight, not just efficiency. This talk includes case studies on AI, AI-powered ritual, the 7 Principles of Transformative AI and tools for leaders to align technology with human and planetary flourishing.
Key Themes:
- What is Transformative AI?
- Designing AI with ethics, consciousness, and care
- Navigating existential risk with expanded intelligence
- The 7 Principles of Transformative AI
- Tools to lead a Transformative AI practice
Ideal for: Tech and business audiences, AI developers, ethical leadership forums
The world faces four converging crises — AI proliferation, climate collapse, mental health breakdown, and polarization — that demand more than strategies; they require transformed leaders. Dr. Catriona Wallace shares how ancient rituals, altered states of consciousness, and her Rapid Transformation framework can expand leadership capacity, deepen ethics, and drive systemic change. Drawing on her Shipibo shamanic training and global leadership work, she reveals practical ways to harness neuroscience-backed ritual and collective wisdom to meet this moment with clarity, courage, and purpose.
Key Themes:
- Ancient ritual and altered states as tools for transformative leadership
- Responding to the four global challenges with expanded ethics and resilience
- Collective healing and regenerative systems thinking for complex times
Ideal for: Cross-sector leadership summits, HR and leadership development, global forums, and transformational events
