Josh Allan Dykstra Speaking Fee: $10,000 to $20,000

We’re entering a new era of work — one shaped by Artificial Intelligence, rapid change, and overwhelming complexity. But here’s the truth no one’s saying loud enough: A.I. won’t fix our broken systems. We can’t automate our way out of dysfunction. We can’t innovate with yesterday’s blueprint. And we definitely can’t lead for the future using workplace systems built for the past. This provocative keynote challenges leaders to master Future Design™ — the art of building human-centered systems that thrive alongside A.I. — and makes the case for architecting workplaces where technology amplifies human potential instead of replacing it. You’ll learn how to design tomorrow’s workplace, build systems that energize rather than drain, and lead humans (and machines) into a future everyone can love. YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO: 1. Future-Proof Your Career – Position yourself as an irreplaceable architect of tomorrow. Josh will show you how to spot emerging opportunities, reinvent yourself with confidence, and become the go-to leader who helps others navigate what’s next. 2. Master Tomorrow’s Leadership Archetypes – Discover the three personas future-ready leaders embody: the Air Traffic Controller (coordinate complexity with clarity), the Scientist (experiment fast, fail smart), and the Tech VC (make bold bets and double down on what works). 3. Cut Through A.I. Noise and Design Energizing Focus – Quiet the chaos, clarify what actually matters, and architect work systems that fuel momentum and excitement instead of anxiety and burnout.

It’s easy to give up on the future. Somewhere between childhood dreams of flying cars and our adult reality of endless crises, we lost our sense of wonder about what tomorrow could bring. But here’s what the doomsday prophets won’t tell you: the future isn’t something that happens TO us. It’s something we get to design. But we can’t build tomorrow with yesterday’s thinking. We can’t create breakthrough innovation with broken-down optimism. And we definitely can’t lead others toward a future we’re afraid to imagine. This inspiring keynote challenges leaders to reclaim a romance with tomorrow and master Future Design™ — the art of transforming from tomorrow’s passenger into its architect. You’ll fall in love with the future again, think like the builders who designed the “World of Tomorrow,” and turn your boldest visions into actionable blueprints. YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO: 1. Reclaim A Romance With The Future – Rediscover that childlike excitement about what’s possible and learn why optimism is your most powerful competitive advantage in an uncertain world. 2. Think Like Tomorrow’s Architect – Master the mindset shift from reactive survivor to proactive designer, and learn how to spot emerging opportunities before they become obvious to everyone else. 3. Build Your Blueprint for Tomorrow – Get practical tools to transform your biggest dreams into step-by-step plans, and create a future so compelling that others can’t help but want to build it with you.

In today’s chaotic business climate, leaders are drowning in uncertainty. A.I. is upending entire industries. Remote work is reshaping everything. Markets are volatile, and change never stops coming. It’s exhausting — and trying to navigate this with yesterday’s playbook is a losing game. But what if uncertainty didn’t have to paralyze us? What if it could energize us? To thrive in this era of disruption, we must master the most powerful skill of tomorrow: Future Design™. In this bold and inspiring keynote, futurist Josh Allan Dykstra reveals how to turn chaos into opportunity — equipping your leaders and teams with practical tools to become un-disruptable, think around corners, and build a future they love. YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW TO: 1. Identify Your Edge – Design the unique value only YOU can create in the future economy, and position yourself where opportunity is heading. 2. Delegate Your Drainers – Offload energy-sucking tasks to people, tools, or A.I. so you can focus on future-building work that only humans can do. 3. Own Your Tomorrow – Master the art of spotting emerging patterns and turning uncertainty into your clear competitive advantage.
