Conflict ROI Architect: Navigating Dark Personalities, Intersectionality, and the Future of Human Work
Portland, Oregon
Conflict isn't just a communication breakdown; it’s a neural one. Most leaders treat conflict as an inevitable cost of doing business, but in reality, it’s a massive leak in your productivity. On average, every employee loses 2.8 hours per week navigating workplace friction. For a mid-sized team, that is hundreds of hours of paid time annually drained by everything from everyday misunderstandings and toxic personalities to the complexities of disability accommodations and the stress of adopting new technology. For owners and HR directors, that is a staggering amount of lost capital and human potential. As a 3x TEDx speaker and conflict resolution architect, I show organizations how to reclaim that time. My work is built on a proprietary neural framework: Processing (Neural) + Interpretation (Conflict) + Behavior (Resolution) By training teams to understand that processing is physiological and interpretation is where conflict takes hold, I provide a clear path to behavioral resolution that scales. Beyond standard skills training, I specialize in high-stakes intersections: from disability belonging and trauma-informed leadership to my specialized series on skillful termination and more. Backed by a track record of developing trainings that help businesses reduce costs and improve ROI, including speaking engagements at SHRM and SIOP, I am currently bridging the gap between human psychology and innovation. I am leading a team to develop an AI framework designed to dismantle systems of oppression and boost human effectiveness. My goal is simple: I transform those 2.8 hours of lost time and the stress it brings into skillful interactions that reduce costs, protect your culture, and produce an ROI that makes sense.

Will Taubenheim is a 4x NASA award-winning AI engineer, founder, and keynote speaker. He builds AI for NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and businesses that have to ship. Then he gets on stage and tells the truth about what that actually takes. His signature talk is The Age of Adaptation. He keynoted Illuminate 2026 at The Ion in Houston on that idea: AI is not here to replace the work you already love. It is how you keep doing it, at a scale you could not reach alone. The room gets a story they recognize, then a first-principles map they can use on Monday. He opens with the audience, not a résumé. As founder and CEO of Lost Frame Ventures, Will has taken AI from concept to production in weeks across healthcare, finance, real estate, the trades, and defense. His work includes four NASA awards on the LunaRecycle Challenge, among them the prototype track and People's Choice at NASA's largest Centennial Challenge, selected from more than 1,200 companies and teams. He holds a DoD contract for ballistic missile defense AI aboard U.S. Navy destroyers, and built autonomous wildfire suppression systems for the U.S. military. He is also Co-founder and Managing Member, Technology & Capital at Next Pillar Capital, an AI-enabled acquisition platform. He architects the firm's AI stack and leads technical diligence and AI-driven value creation for established service businesses. Epic Games (MegaGrant), Meta (Presence Platform Grant and Quest 3 consulting at Meta HQ), and Google's Gemini team have recognized him as a technical partner. At 16 he was technical lead on Escape the Backrooms, a co-op horror game with 130,000+ Very Positive Steam reviews and millions of players. He has also keynoted for Entrepreneurs' Organization DC, opened the Greater Brookfield Chamber AI Summit, and presented defense simulation technology at I/ITSEC. He does not speak about what AI might do someday. He speaks about what it is doing now, and how people and organizations adapt before the window closes. Will speaks on: The Age of Adaptation, AI strategy and implementation, the future of work, autonomous systems, defense technology, AI and geopolitics, and what it takes to build and scale AI-first companies.
