Kanene Holder Speaking Topics
In this dynamic and interactive session, participants will move beyond simply using AI and learn how to strategically optimize AI interactions to align with business goals, brand identity, and mission-critical outcomes.
Many individuals, teams, and organizations integrate AI without a clear framework or systematic approach, leading to inconsistent results and missed opportunities for transformation. This keynote introduces the FutureFixer IMPACT Framework—a structured methodology to ensure AI-driven outputs are intentional, aligned, and effective.
The FutureFixer IMPACT Framework for AI Optimization
I - Intention
Define what success looks like before engaging AI.
What must an AI-generated response (text, image, video, or audio) include to meet your ideal outcome?
M - Make a Specific, Context-Rich Prompt
- Precision matters—clear, well-contextualized prompts yield superior AI outputs.
P - Pick Out Relevant Data for Alignment
- Reference mission statements, brand guidelines, and previous high-quality work to ensure AI-generated outputs stay on brand and on message.
A - Awareness of AI Models & Tools
- Understand the strengths, limitations, and best use cases of various AI models to choose the right one for the job.
C - Curiosity & Creativity in Refining Outputs
- Use AI iteratively—analyzing, adjusting, and enhancing responses to align with your vision.
T - Track & Optimize Performance
- Develop a personalized AI playbook by tracking responses over time to refine prompts, tools, and strategies.
Key Takeaways:
Building AI-Driven Systems
Design AI chatbots, agents, and digital assistants to boost productivity and efficiency in both professional and personal contexts.Choosing the Right AI Model for the Task
Navigate the evolving AI landscape to identify the best tools for research, automation, content generation, and strategic decision-making.Mastering Prompt Engineering for Precision & Alignment
Craft prompts that generate high-quality, contextually accurate, and brand-aligned responses.AI as a Force Multiplier for Work-Life Balance
Leverage AI to enhance creativity, improve workflow efficiency, and reduce burnout—not just accelerate output.AI Ethics & Responsible AI Use
Implement policies that protect data, uphold ethical standards, and maintain human oversight in AI-powered decision-making.
The rise and reliance on algorithms and AI is transforming not only our relationship to time and effort due to an exponential increase in productivity but also to our relationship to our human potential. AI will force us to redefine the process of creativity and ownership of intellectual property. How do we ensure people are prepared for these existential shifts and reconfiguration of skills, passions and self esteem to ensure people use AI to augment and not replace what is uniquely human?
How can organizations and teams pivot to position themselves for massive growth, momentum and success in a GenAI powered future? From AI to EQ (emotional intelligence), Kanene’s REFRESH®️ framework empowers participants to leverage their strengths to iterate and innovate their winning formula.
