THE ART OF ALIGNMENT: AUTHENTICITY IN THE AGE OF AI

AI is making work smarter. It is also making it easier to disconnect from ourselves.

As organizations race to adopt new technologies, many employees are trying to keep up while quietly wondering how to stay relevant, human, and true to who they are. Productivity is rising, but authenticity is often missing.

Research shared by Deloitte’s CTO shows that companies are investing heavily in AI technology while spending far less on their people. When powerful tools are introduced without the human support to match, it amplifies what many already feel: disconnection, burnout, and fear of failure.

The truth is, we don’t need to become more automated. We need to become more aligned. Authenticity is not at odds with AI adoption. It is the foundation that allows people to use these tools with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

After more than a decade working in corporate environments, Stephanie Dewhurst saw firsthand what happens when people operate out of alignment, chasing productivity, performance, and approval while ignoring their inner voice. The Art of Alignment began as workshops rooted in core values and DiSC personality training after Stephanie noticed a common pattern: most self-help advice focuses on fixing yourself instead of remembering who you are.

In this keynote, Stephanie explores how authenticity becomes a strategic advantage in the age of AI and why the most essential human skills cannot be automated.

Your audience will walk away with:

• Human-centered strategies AI can’t replace, including storytelling, intuition, and self-trust

• How to recognize and break patterns that lead to burnout or self-doubt

• A clearer understanding of personal values, needs, and signals of misalignment

• Practical ways to reconnect with voice, purpose, and strengths at work

This keynote is ideal for corporate teams, women’s groups, and conferences looking to foster authentic leadership, engagement, and resilience in a rapidly evolving workplace.
