A research series on AI in education.

Three live, research-driven sessions for educators, school leaders, and policy-shapers — on what the evidence actually says about AI's effect on learning, attachment, and equity. Registration is free; seats are limited.

Beyond the ELIZA Effect

Human connection, emotional attachment & AI in education.

Since Weizenbaum's 1966 ELIZA, humans have projected understanding onto machines. With generative AI, that effect is stronger than ever in classrooms — and the implications for trust, dependency, and policy are no longer theoretical.

  • The psychology of anthropomorphism and parasocial bonds with AI
  • Risks of over-attachment, dependency, and blurred boundaries
  • Research-informed ways to protect human connection in classrooms

The Double-Edged Sword

Research on AI over-reliance, critical thinking, and learning outcomes.

A growing body of 2024–2026 studies is asking the harder question: does heavy reliance on generative AI enhance learning, or quietly erode the critical thinking, problem-solving, and retention behind it?

  • Empirical findings on cognitive offloading and critical-thinking scores
  • What happens to performance when the tools are taken away
  • Evidence-based strategies to capture AI's benefit without the cost

Trust, Bias, Equity & Ethics — webinar poster /03
Thu · 11 June 2026 7pm BST · Live on Zoom

Trust, Bias, Equity & Ethics

What the research says about AI in diverse learning spaces.

Algorithmic bias, privacy gaps, and equity issues aren't theoretical — they're daily realities in AI-powered education. Some students are being systematically misunderstood by the very tools we're encouraging them to use.

  • How algorithmic bias manifests across different student populations
  • Educator and student (dis)trust in AI tools — what the data shows
  • Frameworks for responsible, equitable AI integration

/ What I speak on

Six themes organisations invite me for.

Every talk is shaped to the room. These are the starting points — across AI, communication, and cross-cultural leadership.
/01AI

Thinking with AI

Using AI to amplify expertise, not flatten it. For teams who want the speed without surrendering their judgment.

/02AI

AI literacy for educators & teams

Practical, structured AI literacy that respects professional expertise. From the classroom to the boardroom.

/03AI

AI in senior decision-making

Framing complexity and balancing algorithmic output with human judgment in high-stakes rooms.

/04Communication

Global communication & executive presence

Strengthening leadership presence in English, communicating with authority, and engaging global teams with clarity.

/05Communication

Culture & cross-border engagement

Navigating cultural difference. Building cohesion and psychological safety in multicultural teams.

/06Communication

Koreans in global leadership

The visibility gap many Korean professionals face in global settings — and how to close it with credibility and presence.

/ What leaders leave with

Not inspiration. Capability.

Every session lands on something usable — a structural shift the room can carry into the next meeting, not a feeling that fades.
✓

Think with AI, instead of outsourcing their thinking to it.

✓

Think globally, instead of translating from a first language.

✓

Speak concisely under pressure, without losing the substance.

✓

Lead high-stakes Q&A with composure and authority.

✓

Deliver decisions clearly, so they are acted on — not reopened.

✓

Shift tone and presence to match global expectations.

/ Formats

Built to the scale you need.

From a single keynote at a conference to a multi-day immersion for a leadership team — every format draws from the same craft, sized to the room.
30 — 60 min

Keynote

A single talk for conferences and leadership events. One idea, delivered to land.

Half day

Intensive

One core theme, taken from framework to practical application.

Full day

Workshop

Multiple themes, skills practice, and real scenario simulations with structured feedback.

Two days

Seminar

A comprehensive program across communication, culture, presence, AI, and team dynamics.

/ Background

Grounded, psychological, practical.

My approach is not motivational. It is structural — and it is built on an unusual range of experience.

Ten years of international performance and teaching across more than thirty countries.
Deep experience coaching senior Korean professionals in global business environments.
Research at the University of York on timing, recognition, and presence in professional life.
A practice grounded in linguistics, arts pedagogy, and the structure of how meaning travels.

/ For your organisation

Bring this thinking to your team.

For keynotes, workshops, or a custom program, let's talk about what would genuinely serve your leaders — and what is happening structurally in how they communicate.
