- Inspiring Astrophysicist, Former Space Science Education Lead for NASA, Author of Groundbreaking Memoir, 'A Quantum Life: My Unlikely Journey from the Streets to the Stars', CEO of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi is a true triple threat: a world-class astrophysicist, transformational leader, and master communicator. A Stanford-trained scientist and accomplished inventor, he has spent decades advancing our understanding of the universe and the technologies that make exploration possible. As CEO of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and former NASA Space Science Education Lead, he pairs deep scientific expertise with visionary leadership and a passion for public engagement.
Holding a dozen U.S. and international patents, Oluseyi has made pioneering contributions to computer chip manufacturing and space technology. Seen on PBS NOVA, Discovery, and NASA programs, he is known globally for making science accessible and inspiring through humor, clarity, and heart. His bestselling memoir A Quantum Life traces his journey from hardship to discovery, showing how curiosity and determination can open doors once thought closed. His latest book, Why Do We Exist?, maps the universe across nine interconnected realms, translating complex physics into a clear, compelling framework for understanding how everything fits together and what that means for our place within it. Hakeem helps leaders apply the mindset of cosmic curiosity to everyday business disruption, empowering teams to stay inventive and future-ready.
Funny, provocative, and endlessly engaging, Harvard Business School professor Leslie John has a gift for making people rethink what they thought they knew about human behavior. An award-winning behavioral scientist, she studies the choices people make in conversation and why our instincts about trust and influence are often spectacularly wrong.
John is the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, but her work starts with questions that are anything but academic. How much is too much to share? Why can asking questions be more powerful than making an argument? Her forthcoming book, Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing, turns one of our most familiar social anxieties into a surprising case for greater openness.
On stage, John brings the energy of a great storyteller to the rigor of a Harvard researcher. Through humor and counterintuitive findings, she gives audiences a fresh way to understand the people around them and practical ideas for becoming more effective leaders and communicators.

- Bestselling Author of 'Attached' and 'Secure'; Psychiatrist and Neuroscientist
Attachment insecurity at work is the rule, not the exception. And it can be changed.
Dr. Levine's Global Attachment Survey has been completed more than 80,000 times across 100+ countries and 18 languages. 2 in 3 respondents reported an insecure relationship with a boss or co-worker. Even among those who are secure with their spouse, family, and friends, 64% still tested insecure at work. Workplace insecurity is linked in research to lower satisfaction, weaker retention, and lost productivity. The good news: security at work can be measured, built, and improved. These talks and workshops will give you the tools to get there. Find out your attachment style at work and in your other relationships.
Before attachment styles became part of everyday conversation, there was Dr. Amir Levine.
The psychiatrist whose international bestseller Attached transformed modern relationships, Dr. Levine has spent his career explaining one of the most fundamental questions in human behavior: why we connect the way we do. His work combines groundbreaking neuroscience with practical insights that resonate far beyond the therapist’s office, helping audiences understand the hidden forces that shape trust, communication, and resilience in every relationship.
Today, Dr. Levine is expanding that conversation. The science now shows that attachment styles don’t stay home when we go to work: they shape how we collaborate, how we lead, and how we relate to the people we spend most of our days with. Through his groundbreaking work on emotional security, he reveals that secure relationships aren’t something we’re simply born into—they’re something we can build and cultivate. Blending scientific rigor with accessible storytelling, his talks leave audiences with a new way of thinking about connection and a practical roadmap for creating healthier relationships at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
