The leaders defining what’s next have figured out how to connect all the different sides of who they are, strategically and deliberately, to generate ideas and drive impact no one else can replicate. This isn’t bringing your whole self to work. It’s a different game entirely.

In this high-energy, fast-moving talk, Abigail Posner, former Director of U.S. Creative Works at Google and unstoppable creative force, inspires leaders with a framework to stop compartmentalizing their strengths and start activating the full range of their potential.

Through vivid storytelling, real-world examples, and audience engagement, Abigail shows how the future belongs to people who combine disciplines, passions, lived experiences, contradictions, curiosities, and embodied presence into something no algorithm can predict and no competitor can replicate.

This presentation is a charge forward. Audiences walk away ready to lead and work with more potency. Because when you expand, the room expands. And when the room expands, what’s possible changes.

Creativity isn’t reserved for the “naturally gifted” — it’s wired into all of us. The problem isn’t that people lack creative capacity. It’s that they’ve never been shown how to find it, trust it, and activate it. In an era of AI, that capacity matters more than ever, freeing us to refocus on what humans do best: bold ideation, collaborative insight, and imaginative thinking at its most powerful.

In this electrifying, mind-expanding talk, Abigail Posner, a force of nature on stage, shows every person in the room how to unlock their innate creative potential. She hands them a rich toolkit spanning anthropology, neuroscience, real-world business examples, and AI-powered analysis to generate bold ideas and compete in times of seismic change.

Audiences leave equipped with concrete tools to activate their creativity immediately.

Your boldest ideas and sharpest instincts have always been there. But ingenuity, the ability to apply those ideas to solve real problems, can only go so far when it’s buried under the mental load of everything else. AI changes that. It takes on the rote and the analytical, freeing your most original, emotionally intelligent thinking to finally unleash its full force and take what’s possible further than ever imagined.

In this inspiring, provocative talk, Abigail Posner reframes AI as the latest in a long human tradition of using tools to expand what we’re capable of and gives people a concrete way to use it differently. Audiences leave knowing not just why AI is a creative force multiplier, but exactly how to deploy it that way, with their thinking cracked open and a practical framework to put it to work immediately.

Tangible Takeaways: Read Less ^

• Understand how ingenuity – creativity plus the ability to make big ideas actually land – is innate in all of us. It becomes your most powerful force in an AI world.
• Learn provocative new thinking on how AI amplifies human creativity in ways that are still emerging, full of possibility, and overturning what we thought we knew.
• Embrace a new lens, drawn from years of anthropological research on how humans have always partnered with technology to expand their capabilities and what that means for right now.
• Discover a practical framework for activating your boldest thinking so AI doesn’t just support what you do, it takes it further than was ever possible before.
