Inspiring your people
to innovate with AI

AI is advancing fast, but people’s confidence and capability to use it productively haven’t kept up, and that’s killing your business.
This is because you are not engaging people as people, you are engaging them as tech users.

Who is Erica?

Erica is a keynote speaker on AI and future skills who believes the real AI advantage isn’t productivity, it’s happier, more resilient people who know how to partner with it.

What does Erica do?

Erica helps HR, L&D and business leaders go from feeling exposed, overwhelmed and behind on AI to feeling confident, courageous and ready to lead meaningful AI adoption.

How does Erica do it?

Erica does this through the AI Dividend™ Approach, which starts with hearts and minds and helps people use AI in ways that benefit both their work and their lives, not just organisational efficiency.

Why does Erica do it?

After seeing leaders go AI first instead of people first, she realised that resistance to AI is really about confidence and capability, and that people need support to identify their own AI Dividend™.

Driving AI adoption that empowers people, change and profit

Find Your AI Dividend™:

Future Proofing People, not just Performance.

Find Your AI Dividend™ is a human-first keynote that evidences what happens when we stop treating people as AI users and start supporting them as humans navigating change. Rather than focusing only on efficiency and productivity, Erica shows audiences how AI can create personal value through more time, headspace, confidence, motivation and wellbeing.

The keynote addresses the real problem at the heart of many AI rollouts: people are being asked to embrace a technology they often fear, without enough trust, psychological safety or connection to what it means for them personally. By helping people identify their own AI Dividend™, this talk unlocks more meaningful adoption, better performance and a more energised, future-ready workforce.

“We asked Erica to keynote at our annual European sales and marketing conference in Cologne, Germany, as she stood out in the market as an engaging people first expert AI speaker, and that was exactly what we got.

The session was very dynamic and interactive, keeping the audience fully involved throughout which landed exceptionally well. We’ve received only positive feedback, and the overall impression is excellent.

I know this will have a huge impact in how the European business becomes AI enabled in Hitachi. Once again, thank you, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together in the future as well.”

"It was amazing to have Erica with us, and I just wanted to say a big thank you for bringing the energy to our morning and getting the team interacting and opening up.

I was really pleased with the amount of sharing they warmed to and how their examples were all quite personal but allowed the conversation to get them thinking about AI not just as task but as research, thinking time, coaching and practising.

It was a great forerunner for her follow up slot at our Learning at Work week and we know that will be a fun session for a wider audience."

“Erica Farmer didn’t just speak about the future of HR on PowerToHR 4 - she brought it into the room. With powerful insights, bold energy, and a clear understanding of where people leadership is heading,

Erica challenged our PowerToHR 4 audience to think bigger, move faster, and stay credible in the age of AI. Her keynote and fireside chat were a strong reminder that technology is changing fast, but the role of HR has never been more important.”
