Practical keynotes for a complex world
The future belongs to And-Also thinkers
The old maps no longer work. Many teams are struggling to navigate competing priorities: work or life, productivity or wellbeing, artificial intelligence or human connection.
The most important challenges rarely have a single right answer. Rather than either-or, the future belongs to and-also thinkers.
In this thought-provoking keynote, Daniel introduces the Productivity Paradox, helping audiences navigate complexity, make better decisions and adapt to change.
Helping teams use powerful technology in a deeply human way
AI is transforming how we work, helping us achieve more in less time. The question is how we use that speed, and what to do with the space it creates.
Based on Daniel Sih’s new book, Wise AI offers a different path: helping teams harness the best of AI while making space for deep work, deep thought, deep rest and deep relationships.
The goal isn’t simply to work faster. It’s knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and how to use technology in deeply human ways.
How to unplug, unwind and build rhythms for sustained performance
Something has shifted in the way we work. We’re more connected than ever, yet increasingly distracted. The very technologies that boost our productivity are leaving us wired, tired and struggling to focus.
What if your team could improve both productivity and wellbeing by making space to think deeply, rest fully and focus on what truly matters?
Based on Daniel Sih’s award-winning book Spacemaker, this keynote helps teams rethink their relationship with technology and build healthier rhythms of connection and disconnection.
Helping parents raise wholehearted humans in a digital world
Parenting is tough today. We’re concerned and confused about the impact of smartphones, social media and now AI on our children’s development.
The answer isn’t to reject technology, but to set the right pace. Children need strong foundations of learning, focus, relationships and wellbeing before diving into highly interactive technologies.
Based on Daniel Sih’s award-winning parenting book, this keynote helps parents and school communities make confident decisions about screens, social media and digital habits.
Together, we can raise wholehearted humans who enjoy the fullness of life with and without a screen.
