The FUTURE OF WORK isn't a destination. It's a moving target.

The pace of change has never been faster—and it will never be this slow again.

In this era of constant disruption, adaptability is the new competitive advantage. And the organizations that thrive won’t be the ones that react the fastest. They’ll be the ones who ask better questions, shift their mindset, and design systems that unlock human potential at scale.

Keynote speaker Heather E. McGowan delivers powerful keynotes that help organizations do exactly that.

Referred to as "the oasis" when it comes to insights on the Future of Work, Heather came to this topic—well before it was formed—from deep experience in both academia and corporate innovation.

Heather doesn’t just speak to what’s changing—she equips your people to shape what comes next.

Her keynote experiences go beyond trends and predictions, offering frameworks for how to think, lead, and collaborate in ways that build resilience and fuel innovation.

Whether you're navigating the rise of AI, shifting talent expectations, or rethinking how work gets done, Heather helps audiences see change as a strategic advantage, so they can Solve Tomorrow’s Problems starting today.
