Keynotes · The Identity Catalyst

Earning Conviction: The Leadership Capability That Makes Everything Else Sustainable

Transformation fails not because strategies are wrong, but because leaders can’t sustain them. Talented leaders aren’t exhausted from working too hard; they’re exhausted from performing someone else’s version of leadership. Based on Glenn’s sixth book, Earning Conviction.

The difference between confidence (performed certainty) and conviction (earned capacity)
Why leaders are exhausted from performance, not output
How conviction is earned through practice: not granted, not trained, not transferred
The five-part architecture of Earning Conviction and how it strengthens every part of the method

Best for: senior executives who have achieved success but lost their conviction or joy in leadership; organizations where transformation keeps stalling; executive retreats.

Three keynotes. One method.

Every keynote is built around your audience. These three are where most rooms begin, one for each practice.

Opportunity · Build individual agency

Human Leadership in the AI Era

What machines cannot do, and you must. The capabilities AI can’t replicate, and how leaders build them before the tools decide for them.

67% of leaders are familiar with AI agents. Only 40% of employees are. (Microsoft WTI 2025)

What event organizers say

Keynotes that tell it like it is.

“Llopis’ keynote tells it like it is: businesses are creating opportunity gaps rather than seizing the right opportunities for growth.”

Event organizer · via BigSpeak Speakers Bureau

“What makes Llopis’ six strategies different is they are profoundly human.”

Event organizer · via BigSpeak Speakers Bureau

“Discovering what to do, when you do not know what to do, and re-directing yourself or your team once you know, that is Conviction.”

Arthur L. Valdez Jr. · C-suite executive and board member

As featured in the world’s leading outlets.
