The Great Unlearning: Reclaiming Identity and Well-Being in the Age of AI
Audience
General business, HR and people leaders, higher education, public sector, community groups.
Duration Options
30, 45, or 60 minutes.
Before AI changes a job, it changes how people relate to work. The Great Unlearning helps audiences release outdated scripts and rebuild a healthier sense of identity, purpose, and contribution. The tone is practical and humane. No heavy technical depth.
What attendees will learn:
- Name and unlearn one work script that no longer serves them.
- Adopt an agentic identity with simple language and practices that build momentum.
- Use AI time for learning, creativity, and community impact in daily routines.
Why this matters now:
Reskilling alone is not enough. Without language and rituals for change, anxiety rises and performance drops. Unlearning restores momentum and dignity while people adapt to new tools and expectations.
Signature moment
Two minute written exercise: declare one script to unlearn and one mission to choose. Optional share-out for volunteers.
