Speaking topics

Presentations listed below include in-person and virtual keynotes, as well as workshops, fireside chats, and other presentation formats.

• You Inc.

  Yesterday’s ancient campfires are today’s digital news feeds. From a 10-second snap to a 140-character tweet, social media has disrupted the way we tell stories. Today’s digital marketplace is noisier than ever and with everyone competing to share their story, storytelling has empowered some to rise with unheard and creative narratives.

  In this session, Swish Goswami will teach you how to cultivate your personal brand, which, in today’s world, you have whether you want it or not. By sharing the dos and don’ts behind engaging and effective social storytelling on various platforms, including his favourite, LinkedIn, Goswami will help you build a community while perfecting social storytelling, networking, and selling yourself.

• AI and the Future of Work

  In the past few years, every major company has adapted its core offerings to incorporate artificial intelligence. AI is not only changing the way businesses provide their services but is fundamentally changing the way humans interact with each other, work on projects, and experience their day-to-day life.

  In this session, Swish Goswami will dive into the history of AI, how AI is impacting workplaces, the possibilities that come with AI agents, and how his company, Parallel Studios, is incorporating AI to provide consumers an unforgettable experience.

• Building and Scaling a Business

  At the age of 20, Swish Goswami’s business was valued in the millions. He learned through trial and error not only how to build a product and market it to millions of consumers, but also how to effectively hire/manage a team, fundraise, bring on customers/partners, and eventually sell his business.

  In this presentation, Goswami will share his entrepreneurial playbook and the A-Zs on starting a business from scratch, including how to conceptualize an idea, collect early customer feedback, scale, etc. He draws lessons and experiences from his bestselling book, The Young Entrepreneur, and speaks candidly on the importance of entrepreneurs prioritizing their mental health.

• Intrapreneurship: The Power of Corporate Entrepreneurship

  Giving employees the freedom to engage in corporate innovation and development pays dividends. Swish Goswami believes intrapreneurship is a form of culture within a company — a culture where employees are given the autonomy to pursue ideas that can benefit the company and are given the resources to see those ideas through.

  In this session, Goswami draws on examples like WeChat, Swan Vesta, and McDonald’s to challenge audiences to find strategies to embrace an entrepreneurial mindset within a large organization. He leaves audiences empowered and ready to have a positive impact within their immediate team.

  Audiences will learn:

  • What intrapreneurship is and real world examples of it in action.
  • Strategies to foster a culture of intrapreneurship.
  • Strategies for hiring the right people to support that culture.
  • Techniques for keeping the workplace productive and considerate of mental health.

• Reversing Climate Change

  The world’s leading climate activists and organizations say that the world’s overall temperature increase can stay below 1.5 degrees. This is the basis of an international framework that has pushed most publicly traded companies to achieve net zero. But the reality of the situation is far scarier and important for people to know about.

  In this talk, Swish Goswami will make a data-backed case on why we are already above 1.5 degrees and why our continued increase in emissions will lead to an increased frequency of climate disasters. Goswami will share why we need more than just a reduction in carbon emissions but an outright removal of historical emissions (and why corporations especially should pay attention to this approach as a way to hit net zero).
