Keynotes and presentations on AI adoption, emotional intelligence in tech-driven workplaces, leading multi-generational teams through change, and navigating the future of work. I bring energy, insight, and practical takeaways that inspire action.

Workshops & Training

Interactive sessions designed to build confidence with AI tools and strategies. From hands-on demos to leadership development, I create learning experiences that feel safe, supportive, and immediately applicable.

AI Implementation Consulting

Strategic guidance for organizations rolling out AI initiatives. I help you develop inclusive and values-based adoption strategies, design training programs, and build communities of practice that scale.

Custom Presentations

Have a specific theme, audience, or challenge? I design solutions tailored to your organization's context — from conference keynotes to internal learning and development sessions.

What I Speak On

Speaking Topics

AI for Anyone

My signature talk — built to meet audiences exactly where they are. We cover AI basics and terminology, using AI responsibly as an individual, what tools exist and how to evaluate them, tailored examples for your industry, and where to go to keep learning. No hype, no jargon, just practical clarity.

The Human Side of Technology Change

Emotional intelligence isn't soft — it's the skill that determines whether AI adoption succeeds or stalls. This session explores how to lead yourself and your team through change with empathy, communication, and confidence.

Multi-Generational Workforces in the AI Era

Different generations approach technology differently. Learn strategies to bridge those gaps, honor each generation's strengths, and create inclusive AI adoption across your organization.

Building AI Communities of Practice

My lessons learned and framework for building communities that sustain AI adoption long after the training ends. Lessons from growing an 850+ member AI community in higher education — structure, culture, and what actually makes people show up.

Have a Specific Challenge?

I design solutions tailored to your organization's context, audience, and goals. Let's talk about what your people need most right now.

About Moriah

AI adoption is a leadership opportunity.

I'm Moriah Kent, founder of MK Forward LLC, public speaker, instructional designer, change leader, and AI adoption specialist. I help organizations adopt emerging technology with confidence, clarity, and humanity at the center.

My approach is shaped by years of teaching English in Japan, Bulgaria, and Indonesia which gave me a deep understanding of how people learn, adapt, and build confidence in unfamiliar territory. Real behavior change happens when people feel safe and supported, not intimidated.

I bring that perspective to every AI adoption effort asking: How do we stay connected to our humanity while technology transforms our work?
