DECISION-MAKING
IN THE AGE OF AI
A Framework for Navigating Uncertainty and High-Stakes Choices​
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we work and lead, but it can’t answer the most important questions leaders face when the future is uncertain. In this keynote, Parul Somani shares a human-centered framework for navigating change and making confident, values-aligned choices in an AI-enabled world. Drawing on behavioral science and her Path of Least Regret® approach, she helps leaders cut through noise, reduce decision paralysis, and move forward with clarity, resilience, and conviction—even when outcomes can’t be guaranteed.
NAVIGATING UNCERTAINTY IN A CHANGING WORLD
A Human-Centered Approach to Leading With Intention
Change is constant, and as AI accelerates the pace of work, leaders are being asked to adapt without clear answers about what comes next. In this keynote, Parul Somani reframes uncertainty as something to navigate with intention, resilience, and clarity. Grounded in behavioral science and her Path of Least Regret® framework, she focuses on the human experience of change and offers practical tools to stay grounded, lead with confidence, and guide others through ambiguity—recognizing that while AI may change how we work, leadership shapes how people experience that change.
THE POWER OF CONNECTION
How Relationships Help Us Navigate Uncertainty and How to Strengthen Them
In a world of constant change and uncertainty, relationships are often the difference between feeling overwhelmed and moving forward with resilience. In this keynote, Parul Somani explores why strong relationships and a sense of community are essential not only for effective leadership and resilient teams, but also for personal well-being and fulfillment. Drawing on behavioral science, leadership experience, and her Path of Least Regret® framework, Parul shows how connection acts as a stabilizing force during times of change and offers practical guidance for strengthening relationships, building trust, and fostering community at work and in life.
