keynote one:
Connection Is Your New Currency
Leading with Strategy, Soul, and AI in the Age of Disruption
AI is transforming everything—how we work, make decisions, and lead. But beneath the surface of this rapid transformation is a more dangerous disruption: relational bankruptcy. As technology accelerates, organizations are quietly losing the human infrastructure that drives performance: trust. Disconnection across teams, with customers, and throughout partnerships is stalling innovation, weakening culture, and creating friction that no AI tool can solve.
In this compelling keynote, Julissa S. Germosén introduces the Currency of Connection™ Framework—a strategic model for rebuilding trust, deepening cross-team collaboration, and turning human connection into a measurable business asset. Through bold insight, real-world stories, and actionable tools, Julissa walks leaders and organizations through three critical phases:
Relational Bankruptcy – How disconnection and trust erosion quietly show up across teams, customers, and ecosystems—and how they silently drain performance.
Relational Capital – What it takes to rebuild trust, collaboration, and alignment across silos and functions in the age of AI.
Relational Currency – How sustained connection becomes your strongest competitive advantage—driving loyalty, innovation, and long-term growth.
This is a keynote built for today’s reality: where connection isn’t just a culture play—it’s a bottom-line driver. Where leadership must move beyond inspiration into systematized human strategy. And where the leaders who succeed are the ones who connect boldly, lead intentionally, and scale trust alongside AI.
