AI DISRUPTION & CHANGE LEADERSHIP
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
27 Years. Not 27 Months.
The Defense Manual for the Age of AI.
“Those prepared need not fear the forces at work.”
— Mike Evans
AI DISRUPTION & CHANGE LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE SPEAKER
The CEO of Anthropic calls it a tsunami. Jamie Dimon says companies must prepare NOW.
600,000 jobs vanished in a single week.
Mike Evans has been tracking these seven converging forces since 1995 — not since 2023.
The difference: 27 years, not 27 months.
His new book, Distinct or Extinct: Future-Proofing People and Organizations in the Age of AI, drops April 2026.
But the forces threatening your organization aren’t waiting.
It’s as if this tsunami is coming at us. It’s so close we can see it on the horizon, and yet people are coming up with explanations — ‘oh, it’s not actually a tsunami, that’s just a trick of the light.
Knowledge is now worth zero. Everything we’ve talked about is based on scarcity of knowledge. That scarcity is gone.
The risk is it gets deployed so fast that people don’t have time to adjust. Companies should be thinking about how they’re going to handle that.

DISTINCT. EQUIPPED. PREPARED.
FRAMEWORKS. RESULTS. IRREPLACEABLE.
27 YEARS. 34 FORTUNE 50. ONE DEFENSE SYSTEM.
Mike Evans is the speaker organizations call when the stakes are too high for inspiration alone. A leading authority on AI disruption and the future of work, Mike equips audiences with two proprietary frameworks no other speaker has: the 7-Sided Pincer Movement — all seven forces converging on your organization simultaneously — and the 5-Ingredient Kryptonite Defense, the integrated system to become irreplaceable in the age of AI. Not theory. Battle-tested across 27 years and 34 Fortune 50 companies.
Mike developed his frameworks from executive roles at Kotter International, FranklinCovey, and Tom Peters Company — working directly with Dr. John Kotter, Dr. Stephen Covey, Tom Peters, Jim Kouzes, and Barry Posner. He was in the room when billion-dollar decisions were made. The results were measurable: NetApp, 175% equity growth. Intel, decision-making accelerated from weeks to days. His new book, Distinct or Extinct, launches April 2026. Most speakers inspire. Mike equips.

PRAISE FOR ACHIEVE WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
A great read for anyone who wants to push the boundaries of personal, team or organizational performance. Mike demystifies accountability in a way that lowers the barriers to achievement.
Achieve with Accountability focuses on the principle that fits hand and glove with what I have spent most of my career teaching in the time and life management field, and that is the mindset of owning your life, owning your mistakes, owning your goals and owning your choices. …Mike claims that you can “transform accountability into a positive experience that can catapult your team and business to new heights, and achieve what matters most”, and he is absolutely right.

During the many years, I’ve known Mike Evans, I have found him to be a real ‘cut to the chase and let’s make it simple’ sort of a fellow. The groundbreaking work in this book clearly illustrates that point. In it, Evans dissects optimum human performance to its very foundation of accountability. For without it, there is only poor performance, sub-optimal performance or literally no performance at all. There is truly no ‘reason to be’. Mike provides the reader with a prescription for optimal individual, team and organizational performance.
