Change isn't coming — it's already here. And for most people, the response is either paralysis or panic. Neither works. In this high-energy keynote, Josh Davies introduces RESILity — a proprietary framework that fuses resilience and adaptability into a single, actionable practice. Drawing on case studies from Blockbuster and Netflix to IBM and Theranos, Josh makes a compelling case that the organizations and individuals who thrive in disruption aren't simply tougher or faster — they're built differently. They hold firm on what matters most while staying fluid on everything else. Audiences walk away with seven concrete principles they can put to work immediately — from sharpening focus in a world of constant noise, to building the kind of confidence that doesn't collapse under pressure, to cultivating connections that carry you through the hardest seasons. This isn't a talk about surviving change. It's a blueprint for making change work for you.

Artificial Intelligence and automation are changing the workplace as we know it. Millions of jobs have been radically transformed and the recipe for success has been scrambled. While technical skills are still important, the biggest concern for employers are the diminishing soft skills of the workforce. Nearly 9 out of 10 hiring managers in the U.S. report that the lack of these soft skills are THE most important factor in their hiring, and the lack of these skills leads to 89 percent of all terminations. The changing nature of the workplace as a result of the pandemic has made it even more important to demonstrate these crucial work ethic behaviors on a consistent basis. Yet most, if not all, of an employee’s on-the-job training is currently focused on their technical skills. But there is a viable solution to the growing work ethic gap that can improve the employment outcomes for our incumbent workers AND our new hires.
