The keynote where your audience finally gets it.
Plain-language AI, delivered with warmth and authority — the session people mention in the post-event survey and use Monday morning.

Most AI talks impress the room. Few equip it.
Every conference has an AI session now. The audience watches the demos, nods at the future, and leaves with a phone full of screenshots and no idea what to do with any of it. Dawn delivers the other kind of session: the one where people lean forward, laugh in recognition, and walk out with skills already forming. She builds every talk toward one test — can the person in row twelve do something with this tomorrow?
An AI speaker who still has a day job.
Dawn works inside a corporation — 31 years in finance and management, and counting — and she uses AI in that work the same week she stands on your stage. Your audience gets a speaker who is living what she teaches, with the real examples and the shortcuts to prove it. No futurist, no vendor: a working professional who found the way through and drew the map.
Three talks. One promise: your audience leaves able.
I Make AI Make Sense
From AI anxiety to genuine understanding in one sitting.
The plain-language keynote for general audiences. What AI actually is, what it can do for the work they already have, and the first moves to make this week. Equal parts clarity, comedy of recognition, and hands-on capability — the session that turns your most skeptical attendees into your most vocal fans.
Amplify What You Already Know
The antidote to the fear economy.
For audiences of experienced professionals. Why decades of expertise are the real AI advantage, and how to turn what they already know into results a beginner could never produce. Built on The AMPLIFY Method — the audience leaves holding the framework, ready to run it on their own work.
Access Is the Easy Part
The leadership talk about the gap between buying AI and adopting it.
For executives, HR, and L&D audiences. Why AI investments stall after the announcement, what the ability gap quietly costs, and how organizations turn tools into workforce capability. The talk decision-makers quote in their next budget meeting.
Every talk is tailored to your audience, your industry, and your event's goals — and every one sends people out with skills, never just inspiration.
Built for your stage.
Keynotes, breakout sessions, workshops, fireside chats, panels, and virtual stages. Dawn works with your planning team on tailoring, tech, and timing — and makes the planner's job the easy part.
