Presentation: Mastering Conversational Intelligence® — Turn every conversation into a catalyst for trust, alignment, and decisive action.

Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and decades of coaching global leaders, Amy reveals a powerful truth: culture scales or sputters one conversation at a time. She shows how curiosity-driven dialogue unearths hidden insight, dissolves defensiveness, and forges fast trust — and how consistent micro-shifts in language compound like interest, creating cultures where ideas travel faster than hierarchy. Attendees leave with a practical, field-tested framework built on one profound insight: when leaders listen to connect rather than reply, and speak to serve rather than impress, every interaction becomes a force-multiplier for alignment and execution.

Biography: Amy Eliza Wong is a certified executive coach who has devoted more than 20 years to helping others live and lead on purpose.

She works with some of the biggest names in tech and has built her practice on a single belief: that the quality of our conversations determines the quality of our culture.

Presentation: Work (and Lead) to a Different Beat — Own your mindset, meaning, and performance at work and home.

What happens when you bring a drummer, a storyteller, and a leadership expert into one room? You get Justin Jones-Fosu.

Justin’s signature keynote Work and Lead to a Different Beat uses the rhythm of a Djembe drum as a powerful metaphor for how structural engineers show up in their work every day. Just as a structure’s integrity depends on how each element works in concert with the others, great teams depend on how each person chooses to see their work, engage with their colleagues, and contribute to something bigger than themselves.

Through his 3 Rhythm Model, Justin gives engineers a practical, memorable framework for leading with greater purpose, communicating across differences, and building the kind of team culture where collaboration and innovation thrive. High energy, interactive, and grounded in real research, this is a keynote your attendees will still be talking about long after the conference ends.
