Speaking

Human, still.

Keynotes, conference talks and panels on the human side of AI adoption, the future of work, and the parts of the job AI keeps failing to replace.

Talk topics

Why your AI spend is not converting to value.

The gap between what companies spend on AI and what they get back is a human-system problem, not a technology one. Around 6% of organisations qualify as true AI high performers. This talk is about the other 94 and what they are actually buying.

Should we AI this?

The Three Gates Framework, live. A decision architecture run on the audience’s own tasks in the room. People leave able to make the call themselves.

The work you keep human.

When everyone has the same models, the work you deliberately protect from automation is what distinguishes you. Decision quality, judgment, accountability, and regulation under pressure as commercial assets, not soft ones.

Formats

Conference keynote. Conference talk or breakout. Panel or fireside conversation. Leadership offsite or transformation kick-off. Podcast guest. Interactive session built around the Three Gates decision tool.

What an audience leaves with

A sharper question than the one they walked in with. Language for the resistance they have been managing blind. A decision they can make without her in the room. And, usually, one fact they screenshot before the next slide.

Fees

Every keynote comes with the full process: a briefing call to understand the room, content built for your audience rather than recycled, the frameworks themselves, and a follow-up one-pager your people can put to work on Monday.

Keynotes start at A$8,500 + GST. Virtual keynotes from A$4,500. Workshops and multi-session engagements quoted on scope. Travel outside Sydney billed at cost. Fees current as of 2026.

Community and purpose-driven events

Each year I reserve a small number of engagements for community organisations, registered charities, and events advancing women in leadership, mental health, and the way the next generation learns. If that’s your event, get in touch and tell me about it — fit matters more than budget.

Every event is different — tell me about yours.

Short bio

Natasha Fong is the person you call when AI spend is not converting to value. She reads the evidence like a scientist, argues the claim like a lawyer, and sells the change like a strategist. Which is what happens when someone who's worked the lab, the law, and the org chart stops switching between them and absorbs all three at once.
