If I was going to try to sum up a main message in my keynotes this year, it would be that the choices we make today around AI really matter, and will have lasting implications.
In this short clip from an interview I did following a recent keynote at #Recomm25 on “Life in the Future: Changing Technologies, Buildings, Lifespan, & Mindsets,” I challenge the language we use around this technology—something we should all consider when talking about AI with our fellow humans, and the next generation.
Super excited to be named one of the “Top 40 Future of CX Leaders”!! 🎉
Huge thanks to CX Network for including me on this incredible list—and big congrats to all the superstars on it—honoured to be amongst you!
Awesome way to start to wrap up the year! 🙏🏼 💐
In Aruba, I had the incredible experience to speak to Aruba Bank N.V. and Orco Bank on “Reimagining Work with AI” in an IMAX theatre! It was also steamed across the Caribbean to Curaçao, Bonaire, and Sint Maarten. 🤩 🏝🎤
From easy AI wins that provide advantages today, to building a foundation of trust that will serve us well in the future—it was a true honour to share my latest research and insights with this lovely group of people in such a beautiful place!
“Truly inspiring… Your insights and engaging delivery made a lasting impact on everyone who attended.”
“Her dynamic and thought-provoking session explored how AI is transforming industries worldwide, the opportunities it presents… and how employees can take a leading role in driving positive change. Kallman’s insights inspired employees to think creatively, question assumptions, and envision how AI can elevate customer experiences and strengthen internal operations. She emphasized the importance of human-centered innovation, using AI to empower people while preserving the essential role of human judgment and creativity.”
“Inspired our team to think boldly about the future and how AI can elevate customer service.”
“It was a true pleasure getting to know you and witnessing your passion and vision firsthand.”
Special thanks to Tamara Fingal, Militza Gietel, and Nataly Simmons for making it such a pleasurable experience! 💐 Also to Martin Holm-Knudsen, Henrik Kjerside Poulsen, and the team at A-Speakers for recommending me. 🙏🏼

On Monday I had the pleasure of working with one of my favourite longtime clients, JLL , at their Financial Services Executive Forum on Monkey Island! 🐒 🏝
I talked about how—in the age of AI—it’s PEOPLE who are going to be your ultimate differentiator, and to attract and retain this talent we better be offering a high-quality workspace where people will want to spend their time!
As AI is changing the nature of the kind of work we do, our office requirements will change as well—with less siloed, individual desk work, and more focus on spaces intentionally designed for collaboration, connection, and creativity.
Today, AI startups are giving us a glimpse into what the future might hold:
➡️ They have smaller teams, with bigger budgets per head.
➡️ They expect premium amenities
➡️ Adaptive spaces
➡️ Intuitive AV that always works
➡️ & State-of-the-art network-infrastructure and cyber security
In addition to the attractors we think of today when enticing people into a workspace, key attractors of the future may also include access to computing power and onsite data centres. 🤔
Big thanks to Lee Daniels, Nicolle Kidley, Ruth Hynes, Susan Asprey Price, Jonathan Steel, and Steve Lawlor for inviting me and making it such an enjoyable experience! 🙏🏼 💐
Shout out to Nickolas Hayden and Raul Esparza— Super nice to meet you both! 🥂
And of course thanks to Martin Holm-Knudsen, Henrik Kjerside Poulsen, and A-Speakers— the #DreamTeam — for helping to make it all work! 🙌
