Keynote Speeches on Leadership Storytelling in the Future of Work
Step viscerally into the Future of Work.
Those who think that the Future of Work is about generative AI are only seeing half of the picture. Our new world of work requires flexibility, innovation and culture change — each of these are perspectives, attitudes, and emotional-relational realities, not just cognitive frameworks or metrics to be managed.
To move into this future, today’s business leaders must step into a new form of relationship with ourselves. We must develop new ways of seeing, sensing, and communicating that combine data-driven analysis with the evolved human capacities for connection, collaboration, and re-imagination.
Jordan Bower’s keynote speeches move audiences to experience this new world. More than communicating ideas, Jordan’s keynotes skillfully demonstrate how this new world of work functions and feels.
Combining research-backed analysis with storytelling prowess, theatrical skills, and a facilitator’s deep understanding of group and human dynamics, Jordan will go beyond delivering a practical toolkit — he’ll help you imagine new possibilities, and show you how to go about achieving them for yourself.
Keynote Topics
Always customized, Jordan's speeches discuss cutting-edge topics around leadership communication and the Future of Work. Past keynotes have included:
