KeyNote
You Are More Than Your Job Title
As Elon Musk predicts, the future may see intelligent machines taking over many human jobs. But the greatest challenge won’t be the loss of income—it will be the existential crisis as people lose their sense of value and purpose, which so often stems from their occupations. This keynote guides you in rediscovering your purpose beyond the confines of your job title. It empowers you to embrace your full self—your passions, strengths, and unique contributions—and to bring that fullness to any table you sit at. By doing so, you can influence the world around you while staying grounded in your true identity and purpose. This talk reminds you who you are and why you’re here, ensuring you lead with authenticity and impact in every aspect of life.
