No Clue, No Fear: Leading Through Uncertainty

 

When there is no more business as usual, leaders must move beyond fear into the future -powered by technology.

Jennifer Vessels has led successful transformation for Adobe, Google, Novartis +. Her battle-proven approach for turning ‘no clue’ into competitive advantage isn’t theory—it’s used daily by future-ready leaders as they navigate through uncertainty – from AI integration to business model and workplace redesigns.

A new world is emerging – don’t let fear paralyze progress. Jennifer’s P.E.A.C.E. Framework (Purpose, Exploration, Action, Collaboration, Empowerment), gives audiences a practical framework all can use immediately to thrive with uncertainty.

People + AI: The Fortune 100 formula

AI won’t replace people. But leaders who know how to amplify human value with AI will replace those who don’t.

Most organizations approach AI in the wrong way—they focus on the technology and wonder why adoption fails, productivity stalls, and teams resist. From experience, Jennifer Vessels shares the human-first formula that delivers real ROI inside the world’s most successful companies.

As a global transformation leader and Silicon Valley veteran, Jennifer ensures that audiences leave ready to rethink how people and machines work together to solve real business problems. This keynote transcends the AI hype to provide a practical framework for harnessing AI to enhance human creativity, judgment, and strategic thinking.

Business as usual is obsolete: What leaders must do now

Business as usual is obsolete. And that’s a GOOD thing.

The world has fundamentally shifted. What worked yesterday won’t work tomorrow. Yet many leaders cling to familiar approaches, hoping stability will return. It won’t. Jennifer Vessels brings urgent clarity: the greatest threat to future success isn’t change itself—it’s how leaders approach change.

For over 20 years, Jennifer has led transformation at Adobe, Autodesk, Genentech, and Schneider Electric with P.E.A.C.E. By focusing on Purpose, Exploration, Action, Collaboration, and Empowerment, she has architected, implemented, and proven what works.

Audiences will leave inspired and committed to future success, equipped with the P.E.A.C.E. framework to be put into immediate use.

Generational collision: Unlocking Gen Z value in AI-powered organizations

Gen Z isn’t the problem. Its leaders’ outdated approach to engaging them.

While many struggle to “manage” Gen Z talent, future-ready leaders are unlocking competitive advantage by aligning this generation’s mindset with human experience and AI.

Having led change and generational integration for two decades as CEO of Next Step, Jennifer Vessels shares practical ways to tap into the super-power of Gen Z + AI + Human Experience.

Organizations that harness this approach, which incorporates structure, purpose, and growth, don’t just retain Gen Z talent—they unleash competitive advantage.

Jennifer’s keynotes and workshops are customized to deliver the greatest impact and highly relevant takeaways. Based on client needs, she incorporates real world examples, lessons learned and actionable takeaways.
