Chase the Flood:
Invite Crisis & Reimagine What's Possible

Ayo's keynote is designed for forward-thinking leaders across Corporations, Educational Institutions, and Associations facing systemic change, technological disruption, and the challenge of navigating in a world that's constantly shifting.

This keynote is for the leader responsible for boosting retention, sparking innovation, and preparing their people for a future of work that looks nothing like the past. Whether you lead a boardroom or a classroom, this message is the blueprint for building a culture that stays.

Every organization is facing a flood of change... from AI complexity to shifting markets. Yet, the default response is to grab a hammer and rebuild the same old walls. We use 21st-century tools and ideas to accelerate 19th-century processes, creating a “faster horse” that just gets us to the wrong destination quicker.
How do you shift an entire culture from the fear of what’s lost to a vision of what can be created?

The disruption you fear is the rescue you need. As a leadership advisor who lost everything in Hurricane Harvey, Ayo Jones learned firsthand that the "normal" we fight to rebuild is often a trap. She frames the flood of change as a strategic rescue... A once-in-a-generation opportunity to abandon the "paperwork factory" of outdated methods and reimagine what’s possible on higher ground.

In this unforgettable program, Ayo shares her battle-tested “Path to Higher Ground” practice. Your team will learn three core steps to move from anxiety to action, turning disruption into a catalyst for growth. It’s time to stop trying to save the factory and start building an entirely new future.

In this program, you’ll learn…

  • How to use the "Draw the Line" practice to turn vague anxiety about change into a clear, strategic action plan.
  • Why the "Report Factory" is a trap and how to reframe external crisis as a strategic rescue for your organization's culture and bottom line.
  • The 3-step "Path to Higher Ground" framework to build a more resilient, decisive, and collaborative culture that thrives on disruption.
  • A clear method for leading your team through the crucial "Rebuild vs. Reimagine" decision-making process to ensure buy-in and a unified vision.
