MEET JOS
What Happens When Jos Takes the Stage
"A life-transforming hour."
— Singularity University
Many of us are trying to make sense of what comes next, without losing ourselves along the way.
The ground keeps shifting under them: how they work, what they can count on, what a career or an expert even means. None of it moves in a straight line and AI is only part of the story.
In a room with Jos, all of it becomes something they can actually use, not just nod along to: clarity, a little courage, and a way to stay human while everything speeds up. Most leave lighter than they came in, thinking about something they didn't expect to.
Jos is a speaker, and an artist, writer, and performer (some of her keynotes feel closer to an experience than 'just a presentation'). Real stories, real research, and at some events, live music.
Google, YUM! Foods, Workday, DellEMC, PwC, Breda University of Applied Sciences, Boskalis, and many more have all invited Jos to share her work with their people, in rooms around the world.

Why The World's Top Brands Book Jos
Clarity in an Exponential World
There's no shortage of people ready to explain technology right now. The harder part is deciding what to do about it
…and that's where Jos comes in.
Shaped by an artist, her keynotes tend to stay with people. A room that walks in overwhelmed walks out clear on what matters. And they go back ready to lead with people first, technology second.
"Today cast a new light on strategic questions. Received a framework to structure these issues — very helpful."
— NHL Stenden
UNIQUE APPROACH
Stories and Data to Make the Future Real
Your teams get their hands on the tech themselves, with live demos, real experiments, and a bit of play.
That's the fun part, and the point of it: by trying things out, we figure out which tools are worth using and which to skip, for the work we actually do.
The ones who walk in a little skeptical walk out excited to make that call while staying close to what they love in the first place.
"The audience spoke about how helpful and engaging you are. Those apprehensive about AI left the day feeling more confident. Mission accomplished."

Keynote Topics
01
WHY GREAT IDEAS DIE
Great ideas die for reasons we struggle to name and identify from the inside. Eleven chapters of research, plus one collapse of her own, went into naming those reasons. Audiences leave with a system for spotting roadblocks early, and a method for staying creative, critical and curious under pressure.
"Such an informative and enlightening session to change our perspective on the human approach to AI."
— Springer Nature
02
Making Sense of AI
Knowing what AI can do is the easier half. The harder half is deciding what you would actually hand it, and that is a question about values, not tools. Teams that skip the values conversation end up with a stack of software and no strategy. Audiences leave with a way to decide what to hand over, what to keep, and how to tell what matters most in an exponential age.
"Jos makes a difference with her thoughtful approach to issues."
— YPO
03
Refrigerator Stories
We seem to communicate more yet say less, while the things that matter become harder to voice: doubt about the strategy, fear about what an exponential age is doing to us, or a lack of clarity on what actually matters now. Drawing on the psychology behind her solo show, Jos examines what disconnection costs us in a digital age, and what it takes to build teams where the necessary things get said. So what is a refrigerator story? Come and find out.
