Ori Schibi delivers practical, direct and engaging keynotes and workshops on leadership under pressure, organizational change, project execution and AI governance.
Using real stories, clear examples and some humour, Ori helps audiences connect the dots and leave knowing what to do differently.
Ori does not speak about change, projects or AI from theory. He speaks from the middle of the mess.
GROUNDED IN REAL WORK
More than 25 years of experience with competing priorities, resistant stakeholders, overloaded teams, difficult decisions and initiatives that cannot afford to fail.
PRACTICAL AND DIRECT
Audiences leave with more than a framework or a few new terms. They leave able to recognize what is happening, connect the dots and do something differently.
ENGAGING AND HUMAN
Ori uses real stories, interaction and some humour because people learn more when they recognize themselves and their organizations in the conversation.
BUILT FOR THE AUDIENCE
Every session is adapted to the audience, event and organizational context while keeping the core message clear and practical.
FEATURED SPEAKING TOPICS
Ori’s current sessions are available as keynotes, conference presentations, executive briefings and interactive workshops. Each session can be adapted to the audience, event theme and organizational context.
PREDICTABLY HUMAN
Pressure does not affect everyone in the same way, but the patterns are more predictable than we think. This session examines how overload and uncertainty change judgement, communication and behaviour, and what leaders can do before capable people disengage or shut down.
WHY SMART PEOPLE PUSH BACK
Resistance is often treated as an attitude problem. More often, it is a response to a loss of clarity, control, capacity or trust. This session helps leaders recognize what sits underneath the pushback and respond without making it worse.
BUSY DOES NOT MEAN EFFECTIVE
Full calendars and constant activity can hide delayed decisions, unclear priorities and growing dependencies. This session challenges common productivity myths and shows leaders how to reduce decision debt and create capacity for work that matters.
WHO DECIDES WHEN AI IS INVOLVED?
When AI influences a recommendation or decision, authority and accountability can quickly become unclear. This session explores decision rights, governance, trust and what must remain human when AI becomes part of the work.
