More detailed information
Unleash potential with a learning mindset supported by emerging innovations based on Katja's new book The Learning Mindset: Combining Human Competencies with Technology to Thrive.
Developing a learning mindset is essential for success in a rapidly changing world of work. But how can you adopt this approach? What qualities do you need? What role do technology and neuroscience play? How can it foster innovation, problem-solving and collaboration?
This keynote explains what a learning mindset is, why it is urgently needed to survive and the benefits for individuals, teams and the organisation as a whole to thrive. Among other things, she covers the competences needed for this approach, including curiosity, resilience, innovation, realism and forward-thinking, and shows how these traits can be developed in all people, while respecting their individual differences. In doing so, Katja does not shy away from difficult topics and points out the need to surround yourself with a diversity team as a learning leader and to give misfits their place.
This new keynote from an international learning expert also outlines how to foster social and lean learning among colleagues, how to become a learning leader and how a learning approach can turn challenges into opportunities. There is also an essential discussion on the neuroscience of learning, the evolution of artificial intelligence and how humans and technology can work symbiotically together for the best results. The often-provocative keynote that leaves no one unprepared brings valuable insights, advice and practical guidance for new leadership in times of ever-faster waves of innovations and AI.

Her provocative ideas challenge traditional dogmas and offer fresh perspectives. She inspires everyone to adapt and embrace learning before they suffer irreversible damage because AI and other innovations are already pervasive. They are affecting organisations and their employees with unprecedented speed. To incite change, she does not shy away from hypes and discusses the impact of what now seem futuristic, such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) or hyper-realistic avatars that make deepfaking a child's play.
Katja explores the intersection of technology and humanity and its impact on our society. For example, she looks at how competences such as imagination, curiosity and consilience play a role. She explores the similarities between neuroscience and computer science to optimise the learning of both human and artificial intelligence. Human connection is paramount in shaping the future of work, which is why she often draws her inspiration from the future as seen through the eyes of children.
Katja's keynote speeches are therefore engaging and inspiring for a very diverse audience. Often, her keynotes are the starting point for a future readiness workshop and a continuous improvement project.
Besides advising governments, multinationals, educational institutions and start-ups, Katja is also a philanthropist as founder of sCooledu and author of Little Digital Citizens (Dutch 2018). More than 15,000 children have already participated in her workshops on the future and the increasingly virtual world. This shows her commitment to social responsibility and the importance of promoting digital literacy among young people. By booking Katja for an event, you not only get valuable insights but also support a good cause.
