Every one of these runs as a keynote, a breakout, a workshop, or a podcast conversation. Say what your audience needs and the shape follows.
Keynote · Workshop
Most AI initiatives do not fail because the technology is bad. They fail because nobody defined what winning looks like. Leaders learn the AI for ROI™ Framework, a three-phase approach that separates hype from value, finds the use cases that actually move revenue, and builds governance-aligned pilots that prove ROI in 30 days.
Audiences leave with: action steps they can implement the same day, and a repeatable path to compounding growth.
Keynote · Workshop · Team session
AI change management, done through people rather than policy. When AI initiatives stall, resistance is usually a gap in understanding. This session introduces the AI Personality Assessment, a behavioral-science-backed framework that reveals how each employee naturally approaches AI adoption.
Audiences leave with: the 8 AI Personality Types, a read on who is on their team, and a roadmap that turns each type's strengths into one adoption strategy. Useful for hiring, realignment, and activation.
Keynote · Workshop · Podcast
Human-centered AI literacy, without the hype. This session walks through the 5 C's of Human Intelligence, created by the Human Intelligence Movement, introduces the Human-First Flywheel as a decision-making model, and cuts through hype versus reality: when AI actually solves the problem, and when it does not.
Audiences leave with: a mental model for AI decisions, the discernment to evaluate tools thoughtfully, and a shared language for leading with intention.

Audience and setting
Abigail helps teams align, integrate, and actually scale AI inside their workflows, without drowning in shiny tools or hype. Thank you for showing us that AI does not replace marketers, it empowers them to do their best work.
She does not just facilitate discussions, she architects them. Abigail asks the precise questions that unlock deeper understanding and ensures every perspective is not only heard but valued. She creates an environment where difficult dialogues can flourish, which makes her an invaluable speaker.
The in-person training GrowthUP provided was great for our team. Afterwards we all felt a lot more comfortable using the new AI tools and gained use cases specific to our processes. The customized workflow cut my weekly prospecting process in half.
Tell me about your audience and what you need them to walk out believing. Thirty minutes is usually enough to shape the session.
