HONESTY THAT IGNITES ACTION

WATCH ADI SPEAK

4 SIGNATURE TOPICS

Handcrafted for your audience.

RADICAL OWNERSHIP
Limits as Fuel. Self-respect under pressure.

People say “I can’t.” Most of the time it means: “I’m scared of what happens if I do.”

Scared to set the boundary. Scared to disappoint someone. Scared to want more. So they keep the peace, swallow the truth, and slowly lose self-respect.

This talk is about stopping that trade. Not “own your mistakes.” Own your power. Find the part you can control—even when it’s messy, political, or unfair—and move. When you do that, you get something people are starving for: choice. And with choice comes freedom.

What they learn:

• How to spot the exact fear hiding behind “I can’t”

• How to find the real lever (the one action that changes the whole situation)

• How to set a boundary and hold it without rage or collapse

• How to tell the truth without making it a war

• How to take the one step they’ve been delaying for months
  
  

Best for: high performers who are quietly stuck, leaders carrying everyone, teams playing it safe, anyone done with their own b.s.

ORIGINAL INTELLIGENCE
The Human Edge in the AI Era

I spent a week yelling at AI for certainty. It couldn't give it to me. But I kept asking—because chasing the "right" answer felt easier than trusting myself.

AI has no stake. It doesn't feel consequences. It can't read a room. It has no relationships to protect. You do. But when you hand off your judgment expecting brilliance or certainty, you weaken what makes you irreplaceable: your sense of what's right, your courage to say it, your connection to real people.

This program strengthens your original intelligence—judgment, courage, and connection—while showing you how to use AI as a tool, not an authority.

What they learn:

• How to make calls when certainty isn't available

• How emotion drives decisions and follow-through

• How to use AI well without outsourcing your power to it

• How to stay accountable and build connection when automation makes avoidance effortless
  
  

Best for: Leaders navigating AI adoption, teams moving fast and losing the human part, future-of-work audiences, organizations betting on human capacity

BELONGING WITHOUT PERFORMANCE
Real Inclusion. No acting.

People already know diversity is "good." That doesn't change hearts. This talk does.

Through unexpected, relatable stories—like about my grandma who believed a breeze could make you sick—people experience (not just hear about) why different perspectives matter to THEM. You witness two people having completely opposite experiences of the same moment. You realize you don't have to defend your beliefs to value someone else's. You can own your view, feel safe shifting it, and understand others—all at the same time.

When belonging is real (not performative), people can be wrong, ask questions, fail, and learn. That's where growth happens. Not from DEI compliance training. From feeling it.

What they learn:

• How to spot the “same moment / different reality” gap before it turns into conflict

• How to create safety to be wrong and learn without lowering standards

• How to build belonging without forcing sameness (no theater, no scripts)

• How to change what people do in hard moments, not what they say in trainings
  
  

Best for: Teams navigating difference and conflict, organizations tired of checkbox DEI initiatives, leaders who want real culture change

ENTREPLOYMENT
Entrepreneurs on Payroll

Your people aren’t quitting. They’re complying—and compliance never built anything great. They feel like cogs, so they act like it. And you can't pizza-party your way out of that.

Most companies treat people like renters, but renters don't fix leaks—they call the landlord. Entreployment turns renters into owners who fix leaks because they're connected to the work, the outcomes, and each other.

This talk shows how to build a culture where stepping up is safer and more rewarding than coasting. Where people solve problems without waiting to be told. Where ownership isn’t a personality trait—it’s designed into how work happens.

What they learn:

• What makes people act like owners

• Why most “empowerment” dies in the real world

• How to reward ownership and kill blame

• The guardrails that make autonomy work

• They leave with a first draft of their team's “Ownership Rules”
  
  

Best for: Organizations and leaders struggling with quiet quitting, engagement gaps, talent loss, leadership teams trying to get their "culture" right.
