Josh Allan Dykstra Speaking Topics

  • A.I. Clarity: How To Cut Through Confusion & Lead With Confidence

    A.I. isn’t the threat — confusion about A.I. is.

    Your people have conflicting ideas about what it is, how it works, and whether it’s coming for their jobs. That confusion creates paralysis, anxiety, and wasted time debating instead of executing.

    This keynote cuts through the noise and gets everyone on the same page.

    This keynote cuts through the noise and gets everyone on the same page. Using a simple three-part framework — 1) Understand, 2) Connect, 3) Elevate — optimistic futurist Josh Allan Dykstra gives leaders the clarity and confidence to lead A.I. transformations with clarity.

    You’ll learn exactly what A.I. actually is (and isn’t) going to do to your organization, how to think strategically about where it fits, and powerful principles that will guide your A.I. integrations at every level.

    YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO:

    • Understand A.I. Without the Hype – Cut through the confusion with three essential truths about what A.I. is actually going to do for your organization. This clarity eliminates fear, stops the endless debates, and gets your team moving forward with confidence instead of paralysis.

    • Connect Your Team for A.I. Transformation – Discover why psychological safety is your secret weapon in the A.I. age. You can’t trust A.I., so you need to trust your people. Learn how to build the trusted, aligned team that turns A.I. disruption into opportunity.

    • Elevate Beyond the Noise – Learn why the future belongs to leaders who create space for wisdom, not just speed. Discover how to rise above A.I. chaos, cultivate depth and strategic clarity, and become the leader who helps others navigate what’s next with calm and confidence.

    PERFECT IF YOU NEED:

    A.I. Strategy • Leadership Development • Future Of Work • Digital Transformation • Team Alignment • Strategic Communication • Practical A.I. Adoption

  • Stop Forcing Change, Start Fueling It: How To Create Transformation That Energizes

    Only 12% of change initiatives succeed… and that number hasn’t improved in a decade.

    Your teams are drowning in transformation projects. Leadership transitions. Tech upgrades. Process overhauls. Cultural shifts. Every single one requires people to change — and 88% of them fail.

    The problem isn’t your strategy. It’s not your budget. It’s not even A.I.

    The problem is fuel.

    We’re trying to push change through systems that are running on empty and then we wonder why nothing sticks. We’re measuring everything except the one resource that makes transformation possible: Human Energy™.

    Here’s what most leaders miss: Change never happens without energy to precede it. Yet we design transformation projects as if humans run on willpower alone. We pay attention to strategy but ignore the fuel that powers execution.

    This keynote reveals the breakthrough research on flow states, energy optimization, and workplace design that explains why some changes soar while others crash — and gives you a practical framework to ensure YOUR changes succeed.

    YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO:

    • Properly fuel your changes — Most change isn’t a strategy problem, it’s an energy problem because we don’t know how to fuel our changes. You’ll learn how to identify “human energy debt” and why you can’t push transformation through systems running on empty.

    • Optimize humans for change — When people increase time in flow just 20%, productivity doubles. You’ll learn the simple question that reveals where your people’s energy actually lives and how to help them spend more time there.

    • Design the missing ingredient into your systems — your job isn’t to blame the people, it’s to fix the system. You’ll see real data from 600+ employees showing measurable results in 90 days, and learn how the best leaders enable flow and eliminate friction.

    PERFECT IF YOU NEED:

    Change Management • Flow States • Human Energy™ • Leadership Systems • Future Design™ • Strategic Transformation • Organizational Resilience
