Authentic Intelligence
Make yourself and your organization future-proof
More detailed information
The digital revolution is accelerating. The tipping point has arrived, sooner than expected. The question isn't whether we'll compete against robots and AI. The question is, how do we remain distinctive?
Businesses, schools, and individuals are feeling the unease surrounding tools like ChatGPT. Understandably so. Uncertainty without a framework breeds fear.
In this timely keynote, Elke demystifies technology and puts the focus back on people. You'll discover the unique qualities you need to strengthen today: critical thinking, empathy, curiosity, nuance, and focus — and how to embed them in your organization's DNA. Not as a nice bonus, but as a prerequisite for staying relevant.
We move from hype to substance, with concrete examples, clear language, and immediately applicable routines.
What you take away
A simple compass: what do you let AI do, what remains consciously human.
A practical workflow for routines and critical thinking.
Five trainable skills beyond AI: sharp focus, asking powerful questions, creative combinations, judging with context, and empathetic communication.
Team rituals that strengthen connections.
Impact
Less techno-stress. Greater clarity about who does what and why. Shorter lead times, better quality, and lasting results. Teams speak the same language about AI, experiment responsibly, and turn their humanity into a competitive advantage.
What if your team thinks sharper tomorrow than it does today?
That's what Elke Geraerts is all about. A doctor of psychology, passionate about behavior and performance, and a speaker who shows without any fuss how to build mental resilience and focus.
She has held academic positions at Harvard University, St. Andrews University, Maastricht University, and Rotterdam University, and was recently a visiting professor at Ghent University's Faculty of Economics and Business.
In 2014, she founded Better Minds, now an international team of around fifty psychologists, coaches, and consultants who help organizations sustainably increase leadership, productivity, and resilience.
As an author, she reached a wide audience with her books "Mental Capital", followed by "The New Mental", "Authentic Intelligence", and "The Mental Reset". Her work has appeared in English, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic.
In 2024 she launched “Focus is the New Gold”, in 2025, together with Marie Loop, “Mental Capital for Youngsters”.
Elke's keynotes are direct, human, and actionable. No buzzwords, just concrete tools you can apply the same day. That's why halls from Buenos Aires to Singapore are packed and why attendees still refer to "that one insight" months later.
