Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at conferences, workshops, and events worldwide—exploring themes such as knowledge management, conversational leadership, knowledge sharing, innovation, and, more recently, the evolving role of AI in our lives.
Below is a curated collection of videos from these talks, ranging from early explorations of Knowledge Cafés to my most recent reflections on conversation, reason, and knowledge in the age of AI.
