Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live, learn, and lead, making human-centered leadership skills more essential than ever. Dr. Julia Garcia integrates psychological insight, cultural innovation, and lived community impact to help leaders strengthen the human capacities technology cannot replicate.
Drawing from experience supporting over a million people through cultural and mental health challenges, partnering with hundreds of schools, organizations, and communities, and building award-winning tools used around the world, Dr. Garcia delivers a high-energy conversation grounded in real-world insight. She equips us with the mental habits that fuel clear thinking, courageous communication, and meaningful connection in a rapidly shifting landscape.

In a time when AI can mimic almost anything, Dr. Garcia gives audiences what technology cannot: real activation. Through live interaction, courageous conversations, and behavioral-science-backed exercises, she interrupts the habits that cause people to hold back and helps them build the ones that move cultures forward. Participants do not just learn the habits of hope. They practice them in real time.
A psychologist, cultural technologist, and spoken-word storyteller, Dr. Garcia blends science, story, and strategy to create an experience that leaves audiences not just informed, but deeply engaged, aligned, and more human together. This presentation draws from her new book, The 5 Habits of Hope (HarperCollins), a practical, research-backed framework for strengthening the mental habits that expand human capacity and community connection.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Strengthen the human skills that drive clarity, collaboration, and meaningful connection.
  • Build cultures where trust and purpose guide the people who carry out the mission across leadership teams, classrooms, and communities.
  • Reduce burnout and disconnection through evidence-based mental habits that improve communication, problem-solving, and adaptability.
