A Learning Mindset in the Age of Innovation
Unleash potential with a learning mindset keynote to navigate uncertainty
Based on Katja Schipperheijn’s acclaimed book The Learning Mindset and enriched by global data from the Learning Mindset Amplifier, her own diagnostic tool and underlying algorithm, this keynote explores how people can thrive in continuous change by strengthening the drivers, mindset and human competencies needed to learn, adapt and innovate.
Practical, positive and thought-provoking, this is one of Katja’s most versatile keynotes. It resonates with employees and leaders alike and has connected with audiences across cultures and continents. It is especially relevant for organisations looking to empower a diverse, multigenerational workforce, strengthen adaptability and build a positive mindset towards learning, innovation and AI.
This session opens your mind to the possible. So often these days we’re stuck, more alone than ever, with our screens, our beliefs, our thoughts, our biases. The way out and over is together, with joy, with curiosity, with consilience. The party is fun, and messy, and magical. . . if we lean into it

- The human competencies that strengthen it, including imagination, curiosity, empathy, resilience, openness and consilience
- How neurodiversity and different ways of thinking can become a source of learning, creativity and innovation
- How different generations can learn from one another, rather than allowing differences in experience, expectations and technology use to divide them
- The role of AI and neuroscience in supporting learning, creativity and performance
- Why leaders need to foster social learning and create psychological safety so that more people can contribute their potential
Mind-blowing! People walked out changed, inspired, and ready to think differently about the future of work. This wasn’t just a talk. It was a wake-up call, a moment of truth, and a gift of perspective.

Probably the most coherent, provocative, and sobering presentation about the shift needed in organisations to adapt to the new work context. What stood out wasn’t just the clarity of thought it was the way the story touched everyone.
Katja didn’t simply present ideas; she offered an emotional journey, one that made space for reflection, discomfort, and hope.
