Dr. Davis McAlister Speaking Topics
Many executives are facing a crossroads: embrace artificial intelligence or risk being left behind. Yet, fear, confusion, and misinformation often stall progress. This keynote cuts through the hype and hysteria to offer a pragmatic, human-centered approach to understanding and adopting AI. It’s not about replacing people—it’s about empowering them.
AI now touches hiring, safety, and everyday decisions. When it misfires—bias, hallucinations, false flags—the damage is immediate: reputations, careers, and trust collapse overnight. Drawing on military interrogation principles, crisis leadership, and real‑world AI use in talent systems, Dr. Davis McAlister shows leaders how to keep humans in the loop, pressure‑test assumptions, and build resilient orgs that don’t break when tech does. Your team will leave with a practical playbook to reduce risk, communicate clearly, and make better decisions—in real time.
Talent acquisition is more than filling positions—it’s about building a workforce that supports organizational growth and resilience. In this session, we will dive into comprehensive talent strategies that address emerging trends in recruitment, engagement, and retention. Attendees will gain insights into utilizing AI for streamlined recruitment processes, creating a candidate-centered experience, and fostering a strong employer brand. We’ll also explore the importance of internal mobility, skills-based hiring, and developing succession plans that maintain continuity in key roles. Additionally, this session emphasizes workforce development as a retention strategy, focusing on upskilling and growth pathways for employees. By the end, participants will be equipped with actionable insights to attract, engage, and retain talent, driving sustainable success.
Delve into the inspiring journey of Dr. Davis McAlister, dissecting the challenges he overcame and the strategies he employed to achieve remarkable success on his journey from being a homeless teen to a successful military career and on to where he is today. Assess the applicability of these success keys, including goal setting, within your own professional context, envisioning their potential impact on your journey. Craft a comprehensive implementation strategy to unlock untapped potential within your organization and drive collective success.
This session explores the crucial role of resilience in leadership and its direct impact on emotional intelligence, problem-solving, and team dynamics. In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing business environment, leaders must cultivate a mindset that embraces adaptability, clear communication, and a solutions-oriented approach to overcome challenges and lead their teams effectively.
