Kian Gohar's 2024 talks & topics

Go Forward to Work

Based on his Wall Street Journal bestselling book Competing in the New World of Work, Kian will present practical steps every organization can take to create a successful hybrid workplace for the future of work. With vivid storytelling drawn from a 2-year research project with Harvard Business School and interviews with 2000+ executives from around the world, Kian will reveal key leadership traits, team behaviors and organizational attributes needed in this new hybrid world of work. He will dispel the old “myths of work” that no longer apply, and will reveal very specific “High Return Practices” necessary to succeed in this new era: from collaboration and inclusion, to agility, resilience and foresight. By applying these lessons, any organization can build their workforce into “Exponential Teams” that are nimble and radically adaptable for the future and win the war for talent in the Great Resignation.

How to Build a Moonshot

Drawing from his expertise building literal moonshots to space for the XPRIZE Foundation, Kian will present audiences with a step-by-step guide on how to shift their mindset about what’s possible and build a one-way ticket to their future. He’ll explain how to identify one’s most audacious dream, how to tackle the most important obstacles, how to challenge conventional thinking, and make one’s wildest dreams come true. This inspirational and motivational keynote will empower everyone in general audience sessions to leap forward into their future, knowing that their impossible, is I’m-possible.

Thinking Like a Futurist

What will the world look like in 10 years and how will technology and innovation change the future of every organization? In this futurist keynote, Kian will highlight the major technology trends being developed in technology labs and changing every major industry. Kian will explore advances in the convergence of technologies like AI, robotics, blockchain, web3, and crypto, and will give audiences concrete takeaways to build their exponential future.
