Most people leave an AI keynote feeling informed. Celia Quillian's audiences leave feeling like they've been let in on something - and they can't wait to go try it.

Grounded in real work
The examples focus on communication, planning, research, and decision-making work people can actually apply after the session.
Built to create momentum
The goal is not just a strong hour in the room. It is helping people leave with enough clarity and confidence to keep going.
Testimonials
Real Words From Real Partners
Read first-hand testimonials from the people responsible for choosing speakers.
“I must say in the days after Celia's engagement, my personal productivity was significantly slowed by the steady stream of faculty and staff wanting to tell me how much they enjoyed her keynote and workshop. She truly captured the audience and gave us just what we needed. She brought an infectious blend of knowledge, realism, pragmatism, optimism, and joy to what is a very daunting topic for educators.”
Danette Morton
Executive Director
The Center for Teaching at The Westminster Schools
“I highly recommend Celia for speaking engagements! Celia recently spoke about AI at our all company event. She is such a dynamic speaker! Her content was easy to consume, and meaningful for the varied audience. I've already received several pieces of positive feedback on the session from employees.”
Jess Chew
EVP of Growth
Trella Health
“Celia early on 'got' how AI is going to transform all of our lives (and businesses) and has been a great source to me of intel on 'what comes next.' I wholeheartedly recommend her book (and after experiencing her talk last week I can also recommend Celia for corporate lectures/presentations as well.).”
Reade Fahs
CEO
National Vision
“When I say [Celia's talk] was a hit, that is an understatement. Celia made the topic of AI and ChatGPT so easy to understand. We had a record number of registrants and from the reviews after the presentation, participants gained so much from the workshop. I probably had about 20 people reach out to me wanting more information from the presentation. Celia's workshop was very engaging and you could tell that she was very well-versed with this topic.”
Yabi Demissie
Associate Director of Alumni Engagement
Emory University
“Everyone was incredibly impressed by Celia's talk and found it to be an engaging and educational session. It was clear from the feedback that attendees walked away with valuable insights and practical takeaways they can implement in their daily routines. Her expertise and presentation style made the topic both accessible and exciting - exactly what we hoped for!”
