ENGAGING, IMPACTFUL, & ACTIONABLE programs BY GRAEME MITCHELL
Drawing on more than a decade of experience working with leaders navigating complexity, Graeme blends research-backed insight, practical frameworks, and deeply human storytelling to help audiences think clearly and act with confidence in uncertain times. His keynotes focus on separating signal from noise, strengthening judgment under pressure, and restoring the clarity leaders need to make sound decisions.
Every program is tailored to the audience and the moment. Graeme works closely with organizations to understand their challenges and priorities, then designs sessions that meet people where they are and move them forward. His engaging, high-energy delivery ensures audiences leave with more than inspiration. They leave with clear language, useful tools, and practical takeaways they can apply immediately to create lasting impact.
KEYNOTE #1 - Harnessing Hope
The noise is constant. Information moves fast, headlines are sharper, and pressure to respond never really lets up. Over time, this environment chips away at focus, judgment, and confidence. Harnessing Hope gives leaders and teams a clear reset.
In this keynote, Graeme Mitchell challenges audiences to examine the information shaping their thinking and the narratives guiding their decisions. Drawing on psychology, systems thinking, and real-world leadership experience, he shows how more intentional inputs lead to clearer judgment, better decisions, and steadier action when certainty is low.
This is not a motivational talk. It is a practical, evidence-based framework for moving from overwhelm to agency. Audiences leave with clear language, usable tools, and a renewed ability to lead with focus, confidence, and purpose in complex, high-stakes environments.
KEYNOTE #2 - THE HUMAN CURRICULUM: Learning What can't be automated
As AI reshapes industries and accelerates decision-making, a fundamental question rises to the surface: what still requires human judgment?
The Human Curriculum explores the leadership capabilities that cannot be automated. In a world of algorithms and efficiency, qualities like discernment, creativity, collaboration, and meaning-making become more valuable, not less. This keynote helps leaders understand which human skills matter most and how to develop them in environments shaped by constant technological change.
Blending future-focused research with deeply human storytelling, Graeme equips organizations to rethink how they lead, develop talent, and build cultures that perform alongside intelligent systems. This is not about resisting technology. It is about strengthening the human capacities that guide its use.
In an automated world, the leaders who thrive are those who think clearly, exercise sound judgment, and keep people at the center of progress.
KEYNOTE #3 - From Apathy to Impact: Unlocking the Next Generation of Changemakers
The next generation is not disengaged. They are overloaded. Surrounded by constant information and competing narratives, many young people struggle to see where they fit or how their actions can matter. When the inputs change, outcomes change.
From Apathy to Impact shows how young people, when given the right tools, stories, and support, can move from overwhelm to agency. Drawing on more than a decade of work with the award-winning Institute for Global Solutions, this keynote shares practical strategies for building purpose, confidence, and meaningful action in environments shaped by uncertainty and noise.
This talk is designed for leaders, educators, and mission-driven organizations committed to developing the next generation of problem-solvers. It reframes youth disengagement as a design challenge rather than a motivation problem and offers clear, actionable ways to unlock potential and turn concern into contribution.
