Book Dr. Justin Cohen

Dr. Justin Cohen is a Hall of Fame Speaker and bestselling author with a doctorate in Human Transformation. Having spoken in more than 40 countries, he helps leaders and organizations thrive in the Age of AI by developing the uniquely human skills technology can’t replace.

 

As artificial intelligence transforms the way we work and lead, Dr. J helps audiences strengthen mental fitness, lead through change and build higher-performing teams. His high-energy, interactive keynotes combine cutting-edge psychology, inspirational storytelling, humor and practical tools. The twist? He interviews AI live on stage, demonstrating how we can harness technology to become better at being human.

 

Beyond the keynote stage, Dr. J facilitates workshops and leadership retreats that turn insight into action. As an event host, he weaves the ideas and themes of the day into a “golden thread”, getting audiences not just to engage, but to apply what they’re learning. That might mean taking out their phones and sending the message they’ve been putting off, making a decision or committing to a new behavior. Rather than waiting until Monday morning for change to happen, they start making it happen in the room.

 

A former CNBC Africa prime-time talk show host, he brings the interviewing skills and stagecraft of a seasoned broadcaster. Every engagement is customized to the audience and event objectives. His clients include Microsoft, Google, HSBC, BMW, EY and Coca-Cola, along with many of the world’s leading organizations. Whether speaking to senior executives, leadership teams or large conference audiences, Dr. J’s mission is simple: to ignite the Human Advantage so people and organizations can flourish in the Age of AI.
