Who is actually still in charge?

Marno Lips talked at international tables at Shell and BP for 18 years, until his body stopped cooperating. That burnout became his turning point and the basis for a keynote that confronts organizations with what is really going on under the surface. He shows how AI is not a solution to work pressure, but a magnifying glass that reveals what has been chafing for years.

In a world where AI is taking over more and more work, one question becomes more important than ever:
who is actually still at the wheel?

A keynote on staying in control in a world made faster than ever by AI!

Marno Lips takes his audience on a powerful keynote about autonomy, workload and the impact of AI on how we work and make choices.

Where many AI speakers focus on tools and capabilities, Marno puts his finger on the real challenge:
AI not only accelerates our work, but also the patterns in which we are stuck.

His story shows how professionals are unwittingly falling into a "shortcut."
increasingly busy, increasingly reactive, and increasingly removed from what is important to them.

With recognizable examples, sharp insights and a personal story that touches, he makes visible what is going on under the surface in organizations.

The result:

more awareness of autonomy and leadership
a different perspective on AI (as an amplifier, not as a solution)
concrete tools to take back control

This keynote is ideally suited for organizations concerned with AI, workload, leadership and sustainable employability - and who want to look beyond technology.
[15:03, 14-04-2026] Lisa Portengen: Marno Lips is keynote speaker, AI trainer and expert by experience on workload and autonomy.

After a career of over 18 years with international organizations, including Shell and BP, he himself got stuck in the reality of performing, adapting and moving on. What was right on the outside no longer worked on the inside. His burnout became the tipping point.

With his keynote, Marno combines his personal experience with his expertise in AI. He shows how technology is not a threat, but an amplifier of behavior - and why direction is more important than speed in an ever-faster world.

His keynotes are confrontational, relatable and practical. Not hype, but a story that sticks and inspires real change.
