A Learning Mindset in the Age of Innovation
Unleash potential with a learning mindset to navigate uncertainty in the AI era.
More detailed information
Based on Katja Schipperheijn’s acclaimed book The Learning Mindset and enriched by global data from the Learning Mindset Amplifier, her own diagnostic tool and underlying algorithm, this keynote explores how people can thrive and adapt to new realities by strengthening the drivers, mindset and human competencies needed to learn, adapt and innovate.
In this talk, Katja unpacks:
What a learning mindset truly means and why it matters for individuals, teams and organisations
The human competencies that strengthen it, including imagination, curiosity, empathy, resilience, openness and consilience
How neurodiversity and different ways of thinking can become a source of learning, creativity and innovation
How different generations can learn from one another, rather than allowing differences in experience, expectations and technology use to divide them
The role of AI and neuroscience in supporting learning, creativity and performance
Why leaders need to foster social learning and create psychological safety so that more people can contribute their potential

Through Habit of Improvement and The Learning Mindset Organisation, Katja advises multinational organisations, governments, and leadership teams worldwide, translating complex technological and organisational challenges into practical strategies.
Her work is built on original models and concepts including Learning Mindset, Liminal Leadership, Cognitive Learning Ecosystems and The Paradigm of Learning Moments. These are grounded in years of international practice and research, complemented by global data from the Learning Mindset Amplifier, a diagnostic tool she developed herself, including the underlying algorithm. This rich foundation allows her to tailor every keynote and advisory engagement to the audience and context, connecting human competencies such as curiosity, imagination, openness, empathy, resilience and consilience with the uncertainty of perpetual liminal times.
Katja’s thinking is captured in her books The Learning Mindset: Combining Human Competencies with Technology to Thrive and Learning Ecosystems: Creating Innovative, Lean & Tech-driven Learning Strategies. The first edition of Learning Ecosystems was translated into multiple languages, while its extensively rewritten 2026 edition introduces new models such as Cognitive Learning Ecosystems and the Paradigm of Learning Needs as AI becomes increasingly predictive.
Her grounding is more technical than the field norm. Behind the human-centred perspective is a degree in Applied Economics, an MBA from Antwerp Management School and MIT Sloan executive certifications, including Learning Technologies and Algorithmic Business Thinking. This formal education is matched by a never-ending pursuit of practical widom and knowledge ranging from philosophy to cognitive architectures. Combined with her expertise in the psychology of sales, behavioural science and leadership development, this breadth allows her to move comfortably between how people think and decide, how organisations function, and the technologies reshaping both.
Katja is also deeply committed to social impact. Over the years, her work has reached more than 15,000 children. Today, she personally visits children around the world growing up in some of the most challenging circumstances, exploring how human competencies can help them learn, adapt, and engage with technology in ways that strengthen their future opportunities. Her work connects these experiences with the UN SDGs and with her broader belief that learning should be available to help every child navigate an increasingly complex world.
The insights Katja gains through her philanthropic work also shape her keynotes, helping audiences better understand different realities and expectations across generations. Booking Katja also extends beyond the stage, as part of her speaking fee contributes directly to the social projects she supports.
