Your team knows AI is changing everything.
They do not know what to do about it on Monday.

Speaking Topics

I speak to leadership teams, chambers, associations, and business communities.

One rule every time: the room leaves with something they can use. Not a talk about AI. A working session that changes how people actually use it.

AI Is Not Google. It Is a Growth Strategy.
The AI Advantage
Why adopting AI and growing through AI are two different things.

Your teams have the tools. Almost nobody has built the process underneath them. This session shows leadership exactly what is stalling, gives them a framework to fix it, and changes how the room thinks about AI as a business decision instead of a software one.

Best for: Corporate events, executive offsites, L&D programs, strategy summits

They Want AI. They Need Integration.
88% Have AI. Only 5% Are Growing From It.
The gap between your members and their competitors is getting wider.

Most businesses have the tools. Almost none have the process. This session cuts through the noise, shows why the gap keeps widening, and gives your members something they can apply to their own business the same week.

Best for: Chambers, industry associations, member conferences, annual summits

23 Years of Calling It Before the Market Did
Business Leaders + Growth Teams
Stop Using AI Like Expensive Google
Most teams are using AI like search. Here is what a process actually looks like.

Typing questions and reading answers is not a strategy. This session shows the difference between a prompt and a process, and every person in the room leaves with something they can run before the week is out.

Best for: Business communities, association events, leadership workshops, founder communities

Rhiannon Franz, speaker and AI growth strategist
About Rhiannon

I have been inside every major digital shift for 23 years.

23 years across all four global advertising holding companies. Lexus, Warner Bros, Xbox, Chrysler, Johnson and Johnson. A Master's in Communications Management from USC. Formally trained in facilitation and consulting.

Nobody needs to be told AI is here. What matters is knowing what to do once it is.

I do not teach what I read. I teach what I built.

The Difference

What you will not get from other AI and leadership
speakers.

Most AI keynotes teach tools. Most leadership talks teach communication. This teaches the room how to grow through AI, and proves it in the numbers.

  1. 01

    This is not a talk about tools. It is a working session for organizations that already have AI and are not growing from it. The goal is not an inspired team. It is a shift in how leadership thinks, and something concrete they leave with.

  2. 02

    23 years on the inside. I built my career across the world's top advertising agencies and inside every major digital shift. I do not teach what I read. I teach what I built, tested, and got held to a number on.

  3. 03

    The FORGE Method. A five-stage system built from 23 years of doing this work inside Fortune 100 teams. Not borrowed from a personal branding playbook. Built for the gap between having AI and growing from it.

  4. 04

    I do not just speak. I do the work. Most keynote speakers leave when the talk ends. I spent two decades inside Fortune 100 organizations leading cross-functional teams of up to 20. The room gets the keynote and the working session, when the engagement calls for it.

Three Ways to Work

Three ways to bring this
into your organization.

01
Keynotes

High-impact sessions for large audiences, association events, and conferences. A clear point of view that changes how a room thinks about AI. From the problem to what to do about it, in one session.

02
Executive Sessions

Smaller rooms. C-suite and senior leadership. Where the keynote becomes a working conversation, built around the FORGE Method and what your team is actually dealing with.

03
Leadership Workshops

Extended sessions where the method gets applied to your organization live. People leave with something built, not just something heard.
