Speaking & Partnerships

Keynotes with jokes and a point.

I speak about AI, career reinvention and turning big plans into real work. The talks are practical, story-led and funny on purpose, because people remember what made them laugh.

The Human Advantage

Who checks Barry's work, and other questions about AI and our data

The AI Leap London 2026 · September 29, 2026 · London, Ontario

AI is moving fast. Most organizations aren't built to keep up. My argument: AI transformation is really an organizational problem, and data, governance, people and process decide whether AI actually works. Barry is the well-meaning AI assistant doing his best. The question is who's checking his work.
