Speaking & media

It's time for human conversations.

Sarah Egan speaks on AI, transformation, change, and what it actually takes to bring our desired outcomes to life. Keynotes, workshops, and the rooms where the real questions get asked.

Experience

A grounded voice for the rooms where real adoption decisions happen.

Sarah believes the biggest challenge with AI isn't the technology itself, it's the disconnects. The disconnect between the conversations in the boardrooms and the ones in backyards. The disconnect between what's being built and what's being sold to people. The disconnect between the value being promised and the true cost of delivering. And most importantly, the disconnect between people who are actively adopting and those for whom adoption is not reality.

Sarah understands that people don't need more AI hype. They need clarity, context, and an advocate willing to have honest conversations at all levels about what this technology means for real people, real businesses, and real communities.

Adoption isn't optional. Being on autopilot is.

The truth is human.

AI is not the solution. It is both the amplifier and the distractor
Some people are so focused on keeping up with adoption they are stuck solving the wrong problems, some are being left behind, and some are simply choosing not to engage, each carries its own risk
Adoption and scale are inevitable, but people should be at the heart of the transition
We are responsible for defining the outcomes for our lives, our businesses, and the communities we engage in

Sarah creates safe and engaging space for people to contemplate:

What is hype or distraction
Where AI has the potential to truly amplify human capability
Where modern technology introduces risk
What the potential impacts of unconscious adoption might look like
Where we need to question things more deeply

Topics

A sample of the conversations Sarah leads.

We are proud to do things differently at Glamabyte. Each engagement is crafted with the audience and outcomes in mind. Below are some samples to get you thinking.

Most of you don't need AI. And you know it.

On the importance of operational foundations being in place before attempting to layer in AI. A direct look at why AI works as an amplifier, not an add-on, and why it has to be built into the core of how a business actually operates. Available as a keynote.

Adoption isn't optional. Being on autopilot is.

AI adoption is no longer a question. The choices being made along the way are. A position piece on what is actually changing across society, the way we live and work, and what gets shaped when we move through it consciously rather than by default. Available as a keynote.

Tokens, GPUs and compute, oh my. What drives AI.

A grounded, jargon-free explanation of what is actually happening underneath the AI tools everyone is using. The infrastructure, the economics, and what it means for the choices being made about adoption. Available as a keynote.

Transformation isn't a project. It's a posture.

On the discipline of running your business and transforming it in parallel. Why cadence, frameworks, and guardrails matter, how to hold both without one slipping, and how to sustain transformation without burning out the people inside it. Available as a keynote.

Secrets: behind the scenes on corporate transformation.

A look inside the world of large-scale corporate transformation. The frameworks, the learnings, the things consultants don't tell you, and how to apply them in the real world of SMEs, founders, and community-led organisations. Built around the GLAMA Transformation Framework. Available as a keynote or a one-day workshop.

Fundamentally F'd. Glitch grades the AI transformation.

As someone who knows a thing or two about transformation, we have graded the rollout of AI. A conversation that connects back to the foundations of transformation. Available as a keynote.

These sessions are designed to be engaging, interactive, and suitable for everyone in the community. They are not technically focused, and we promise to avoid jargon. We invite questions, participate openly in discussions, and value different perspectives. How could we support the right conversations and outcomes for you?
