I really enjoyed your presentation. I have seen a few futurists before, as well as some "experts" talking about AI and Leadership, and they all left me feeling that I hadn't learned anything. However, I was extremely engaged by what you had to say and am actively trying to incorporate your insights into how I work.

At the Acumen networking event, I was thoroughly impressed by you, a speaker whose discussions on being ‘Future Ready,’ AI, and resilience captured my attention. Your ability to engage and inspire made me immediately share your details for various CMS events and potentially the Future Ready Leaders program in London.

Working with you was a joy. We briefed you carefully about our intended audience's likely concerns which you carefully integrated into a draft presentation. You were happy to finetune and adapt to ensure that we were completely satisfied. The three chosen themes could have all been the subject of a full day in their own right, but you managed to encapsulate the key issues in a lucid and fascinating 30 minutes.<br><br>Your visuals were excellent, enhancing what we heard. You're a fluent and thoughtful speaker. who went the extra mile to do a great job. It is rare to find a keynote speaker so willing to listen and adapt to our needs.

Keynote by Matt O'Neill:
“Future Ready for 2030” is based on a simple belief: that success in the coming decade will be built on embracing human collaboration with AI in seamless harmony.
In this keynote, instead of competing with machines (or indeed fearing them), we’ll discover how to partner with them to boost productivity and innovation. We’ll cover emerging AI capabilities whilst also highlighting the timeless human skills - creativity, ethics and emotional intelligence - that will matter most in years to come. AI gives us a new set of tools and skills from which we can all benefit. With a little openness to change, we can all excel at work and discover new abilities to take into the rest of our lives, too.
