Potential Topics

Most people look at the future of work and see uncertainty. Andrew Seaman sees an opportunity to design.

As a leading voice in career strategy and leadership, Andrew has spent the better part of a decade immersed in the mechanics of how we find work and how we grow within it. Drawing on exclusive data, deep research and direct conversations with the world's most influential decision-makers, he offers a "front-row seat" to the evolution of the global talent landscape.

Andrew is the voice behind a weekly newsletter reaching over 1 million subscribers and has been featured as a subject matter expert by The New York Times, Fortune, Forbes and NBC News.

His mission is simple: to prove that while technology evolves, there will always be a place for humans in the workforce — if we are brave enough to shape it.

The AI Opportunity: Elevating Human Potential

  • The Myth: Technology is here to replace us.

  • The Reality: Historically, technology creates more than it destroys. Andrew debunks the fear-based narrative around AI and provides a roadmap for harnessing automation to elevate, not eliminate, our work.

    • Audience Takeaways:

      • How to identify "replacement-proof" human skills.

      • Strategies for integrating AI to reduce burnout and increase creativity.

      • A framework for leading teams through technological displacement.

Whether it’s an intimate executive retreat in the Northeast or a global conference stage abroad, Andrew brings a unique blend of data-driven insight and empathetic storytelling.

  • Vibe: Grounded Professional Optimism.

  • Style: High-engagement sessions featuring humor, empathy, actionable advice and live Q&A.

  • Location: Available for domestic and international travel.

Leading Through the Fog: Change as a Competitive Advantage

  • The Challenge: Change is a tool for growth, but mismanaged change leads to attrition and disengagement.

  • The Solution: This session is designed for CEOs and managers who need to lead through volatility. Andrew explores the "human element" often lost in the data—empathy, humor, and psychological safety.

    • Audience Takeaways:

      • Techniques to mitigate "change fatigue" and burnout.

      • How to harness the power of change.

      • Practical ways to maintain organizational "vibe" and engagement during transitions.
