Luis C. M. O. De Almeida Speaking Topics

  • Technomoderation: Leading, Teaching, and Working Well in an AI-Saturated World

    Artificial intelligence and digital platforms are no longer optional, they shape how we teach, lead, decide, and communicate. Yet most organizations swing between fear and blind adoption. In this practical and thought-provoking keynote, Dr. Luis C. Almeida introduces technomoderation: a human-centered framework for using technology intentionally without surrendering judgment, attention, or values. Drawing from instructional systems, media studies, and real leadership experience, this talk helps leaders and educators move beyond reactive AI policies toward thoughtful, ethical, and productive integration. Participants learn how to reduce digital friction, protect attention, and align technology use with learning outcomes, culture, and mission, without slowing innovation.

  • From Vision to Execution: Leading Change When Resources Are Limited and Stakes Are High

    Many leaders know what needs to change, but struggle with how to execute amid limited budgets, resistance, and institutional complexity. In this grounded, experience-driven session, Dr. Luis C. Almeida shares proven strategies for leading change in real organizations, not ideal ones. Drawing from his work across public and private institutions, HBCUs and PWIs, and multiple leadership roles, this talk focuses on aligning people, communication, and systems to move ideas into action. Participants learn how to clarify vision, reduce organizational drag, and build trust while still producing measurable results. This session replaces abstract leadership theory with tools leaders can use immediately.
