Signature Keynotes

Signature Keynote
Same Hours. Same Prices. 30% More Revenue.
"Why some consultants are pulling ahead — and it isn't more hours."
Some established consultants and coaches are charging the same and working the same hours as their peers — while taking in as much as 30% more. The difference isn't talent or hustle; it's that they fired themselves from one job: being the bottleneck in their own business. September shows the room how the top 5% put AI to work — an AI system of their own that clears the grunt work and amplifies their expertise — and why it's learnable without becoming technical.
Best for: professional associations, industry and alumni conferences, women's and executive networks, small-business groups and chambers, and consulting or coaching communities.
Delivered at Merida Tech Week 2025
Lack of AI Proficiency Is Why AI Fails — Not the Technology
"95% of AI initiatives fail. What's going on? Hint: it's not the tech."
An evidence-led look at why AI adoption stalls — and what the top 10% do differently. September walks the real failure data and the proficiency gap almost no organization is addressing. Authority without alarmism; every room leaves smarter and clearer on what works now.
Best for: tech conferences, professional associations, and business audiences navigating AI adoption.

Why September

6,000+ hours inside AI models — a builder, not a commentator. Most "AI experts" teach which buttons to push in an app; September teaches by co-building the real thing with the room. Audiences who arrive worried AI will replace them leave with the opposite conviction.
