What's my edge now? That's what leaders are asking as they try and spark innovation and organizational transformation in an AI-driven revolution. It's a paradox: we have access to the most powerful technology in human history yet we have a fear of becoming obsolete. The problem isn't AI, it's that most leaders have been conditioned to compartmentalize the very things that make them irreplaceable. An anthropologist and former senior executive at Google, Abigail shows leaders how to lead with more originality and impact by leveraging all of their passions, skills, and experiences, their expansiveness. You're not a single instrument. You're a musician who knows how to play several, and expansiveness is knowing which one the moment calls for. The future belongs to leaders who dig into their expansiveness to create something no algorithm can predict and no competitor can replicate.

Too many people don't think they're capable of generating the breakthrough ideas their organization desperately needs. They're wrong. Creativity isn't reserved for the naturally gifted, it's wired into all of us. The problem isn't that people lack creative capacity. It's that they've never been shown how to find it, trust it, and activate it. In an era of AI, that capacity matters more than ever, freeing us to refocus on what humans do best. Abigail Posner shows every person in the room how to unlock their innate creative potential, handing them a toolkit spanning anthropology, neuroscience, real-world business examples, and AI-powered analysis. Audiences leave equipped with concrete tools to activate their creativity immediately.

Everyone is using AI to do the same things faster. Almost no one is using it to think bigger. The creative potential of AI is vastly underestimated and almost entirely untapped. Your boldest ideas have always been there, but ingenuity can only go so far when it's buried under the mental load of everything else. AI changes that. It takes on the rote and the analytical, freeing your most original, emotionally intelligent thinking. Abigail Posner reframes AI as the latest in a long human tradition of using tools to expand what we're capable of, and gives people a concrete way to use it differently. Audiences leave knowing not just why AI is a creative force multiplier, but exactly how to deploy it that way.
