What Organisers Get

Ideas with substance

Every talk is built around one clear idea and the practical steps that follow from it. Your audience leaves thinking differently and knowing what to do with it.

Built for your audience

Before each event, I learn who's in the room and what they're facing. The keynote is shaped around your theme, so it never feels like a talk delivered somewhere else last week.

Thinks like an organiser

I've organised events, hosted them and spoken at them. I know what a programme needs from a speaker, from timing and tone to how a talk connects with the sessions around it.

Popular Keynotes

A few of my most requested talks. Each one is adapted to your audience and theme, and I regularly develop new keynotes for the right event.

Who's Flying the Plane?

We've built planes that can fly themselves. We still put a pilot in the cockpit. As AI takes on more of the decisions, this keynote asks what still belongs to leaders: judgment, accountability and trust. Your audience leaves with a practical way to treat data and AI as a co-pilot, and a shift from data-driven to data-informed, human-led.

Best for: HR and leadership conferences, tech events, leadership days

The Missing API Behind Great Tech Leadership

Technical leaders are promoted for what they know. They stall on what they can't yet do: make complex ideas land with the people who fund, adopt and act on them. This talk treats communication as the missing interface between technical excellence and real influence, something you can design and improve. Your audience leaves knowing how to win over non-technical decision-makers without becoming someone they're not.

Best for: developer and tech conferences, engineering and product teams

The Four Dimensions of Confidence

Confidence is usually treated as something you either have or lack. This keynote breaks it into four dimensions you can actually work on: how you think, behave, know and feel. Your audience leaves knowing where their confidence holds, where it slips, and how to build it deliberately.

Best for: leadership programmes, HR conferences, company events

Looking for a different angle? Book a short call and we'll shape a keynote around your event's theme.

Bringing a keynote inside your organisation

A keynote at a leadership day, offsite or company kick-off gives your people a shared idea to rally around. Paired with a workshop, it turns that idea into practice.

About Amit

I didn't start in communication. I spent my early career in startup operations, accounting and finance, surrounded by smart people with strong ideas that changed nothing, because they never moved the people who mattered. That gap is what I've worked on ever since.

Building TEDxUNYP in Prague taught me how ideas travel. Over a decade, I've helped speakers turn their thinking into talks that stay with people, and five of them became TED Editor's Picks. Hosting stages at SXSW London, South Summit and Bits & Pretzels taught me the other side: what holds a room's attention, and what loses it.

Today I coach leaders at Deloitte, NVIDIA and Rolls-Royce for the moments when their ideas need to win people over. My keynotes bring that to whole audiences, at Microsoft, Google, DisruptHR, TechWiserX and Digital Enterprise Show, and on conference line-ups alongside Michelle Obama, Steven Bartlett and Trevor Noah.

One conviction runs through all of it. The talks people remember don't give them more information. They change how they see something, and what they do next.
