Lead the Change: Future-Proofing Leadership in the Age of AI

You’re not just running a business—you’re leading it into the future.

AI isn’t coming. It’s here. And while tools like ChatGPT are getting all the headlines, the real opportunity isn’t in the tech—it’s in the transformation of leadership.

This isn’t about becoming a coder. It’s about becoming the kind of leader who knows how to guide teams, scale smartly, and future-proof your culture using AI as a force multiplier—not a threat.

Whether you’re already experimenting or just AI-curious, this session gives you the clarity, courage, and capability to lead your business forward.

In this keynote or workshop, we’ll explore:

  • The New Role of Leadership in the Age of AI – Why mindset, not tech-stack, is your biggest strategic asset

  • What to Automate vs. What to Elevate – A framework for integrating AI without losing your human touch

  • The AI Adoption Curve – Where your team is now, and how to bring them with you

  • Building a Culture of Co-Intelligence – Blending human creativity with machine capability

  • Ethical Guardrails and AI Literacy – So you lead with confidence, not chaos

This session is built for EO leaders ready to lean in, lead forward, and stay exactly where they want to be—ahead of the curve.

StoryPower 2.0: How Leaders Can Use AI to Tell Stories That Move Markets

The tools have changed. The rules of influence haven’t.

Great leaders don’t just build companies—they build belief. In an AI-driven world, storytelling isn’t dead. It’s more powerful than ever. But now, the storyteller has a co-writer… and that co-writer is a machine.

This keynote empowers leaders to leverage AI to amplify—not automate—their message, enhance their impact, and own the narrative in a noisy, fast-moving market.

From investor updates to brand launches to rallying the team—storytelling has never been more essential. Or more scalable.

In this keynote or workshop, we’ll dive into:

  • Why Every Leader Needs a Story Stack – And how AI can help you build it

  • Crafting Narratives with Machines – How to prompt, shape, and refine your message using AI

  • The Narritect’s Edge – How to structure stories that lead teams, customers, and markets

  • From Thought Leader to Narrative Architect – Tools to elevate your voice and expand your reach

  • Guardrails and Guts – Using AI responsibly while keeping your voice authentically yours

This isn’t just a talk—it’s a transformation. From passive content consumers to confident Narritects, your members will walk away ready to tell stories that matter—and scale.

Artificial Intelligence: right here, right now

We are at an exciting technological time - possibly the most pivotal since Microsoft Windows was introduced. Artificial intelligence in our industry is revolutionary. While some agencies were embracing AI before 2023, the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 was the watershed. But, of course, that was only a few months ago, so if you're not on this train today, don't worry, the train has barely left the station.

Based on Nick’s upcoming AI book.

In this workshop or talk, we’ll explore:

  • AI State of Play

  • AI Myth Busting

  • AI Dilemmas, Ethics & Regulations

  • AI - Doing it Responsibly

  • AI Use Cases


Busting the Myth that Working Harder Leads to Success

Sure, you could work harder. In fact, for many years, that was the correct factor for success. But if you think that will work for you today, you're out of luck. Nick Leighton takes us on a speaking journey from being hijacked in Pakistan to having tea with Royalty in England. With keen observations of how society and commerce have changed due to COVID-19. With a genuine understanding of different generations (sorry, Millennials, maybe you were right), Nick shows us what is new so that business leaders can make a rapid change today for a better future tomorrow. You're welcome.

Goals Suck!

What’s your Champagne Moment? What is the one thing you want to accomplish in the next 12-months?

During this session, you'll find out why champagne moments are so important and be guided through a process to identify yours. You will learn how this process will benefit yourself, your family, and your business. You will know how you can coach others in your organization to success – a method you can use yearly.


What’s the Point of it All?

When I first work with someone, I ask, "Why do you come to work?" Often, much to their surprise, they don't have a good answer.

We'll cover the who, what, and why of your inner self and successful business to identify your purpose. By understanding yourself, your business, and your reason for being, you establish a mindset and a vision that will carry over into everything you do, from big-picture strategies to day-to-day routines.
