Paul Gibbons is an AI adoption advisor, keynote speaker, and author of eight books on leadership and change. He turns the hardest question in the room — how do people actually change? — into a story your organization can act on Monday morning.
Built for boards, leadership offsites, and all-hands moments where the room needs more than a demo — it needs a way to think.

Bring this talk →Trust, work, meaning, institutions. Why the backlash is coming, what it means for companies deploying AI, and how to lead through it.
