Engagements

Work With Shama

I work with organizations in four ways — each one designed to help your team spot opportunities, make sharper decisions, and move before your competitors do.

Whether it's a keynote for 15,000 or a workshop table for 20, everything I deliver is built on the same principle: practical frameworks your team can act on immediately.

Keynote Presentations

Inspire action, not just applause.

I've delivered 500+ keynotes across 26 countries for organizations including NASA, Microsoft, Chase, Disney, Marriott, and Toyota. But what sets my keynotes apart isn't the stage — it's what happens after. Audiences leave with frameworks and tools they use Monday morning.

Every keynote is tailored to your audience, your industry, and the specific challenge your organization is facing.

Signature Keynotes

AI in Action: Practical Tools You Can Use Monday Morning for Real ROI

The practical playbook for leaders who are done dabbling. Built on the 3-P Model (People, Process, Personalization) with a 90-day roadmap to real ROI.

Best for: Annual kickoffs, leadership summits, conferences where attendees need to leave with an executable plan.

The Strategy of Now: Building Growth When Everything Is Changing

How to spot where opportunities are forming, filter out the noise, and act while windows are still open.

Best for: Organizations feeling pressure to move faster, teams stuck between panic and paralysis.

Winning Customer Loyalty: Creating Customers for Life

The intersection of AI, experience, and growth — how to deliver personalized experiences at scale that turn customers into advocates.

Best for: Customer-facing teams, CX conferences, organizations focused on retention and revenue growth.

Format: 45–60 minutes. Virtual and hybrid options available.

“Shama was THE BEST Closing Speaker. We heard nothing but fantastic things from attendees.”

— Ann Dieleman, PIMA Executive Director

“A 10 out of a 10. Her commitment to our event, streamlining her presentation to ensure it was appropriate for our audience — we couldn't have asked for more.”

— Carol Ann Seney, Director of Events, U.S. + Canada

Rewired: AI Workshop

Stop dabbling. Get Rewired.

This isn't a lecture. It's a build day. Your team brings their laptops and their actual workflow. They leave with a fully built, personalized AI system integrated into how they actually work.

Based on the sold-out Rewired workshop series in Miami, this session is designed for teams that are done talking about AI and ready to implement it.

Format

Half-day or full-day. In-person. Max 20 participants.

What They Walk Out With

A fully functioning AI workflow built on their actual work. Not theory. Not slides. Working systems.

Perfect For

Keynote add-on for leadership teams, executive offsites, or companies ready to go from AI curiosity to AI implementation in a single day.

Strategic Advisory

For leadership teams navigating fast-moving markets.

I serve as a GTM advisor to select private equity and venture capital funds, helping portfolio companies identify growth opportunities and move on them with precision.

Advisory engagements are selective and typically focus on Applied AI implementation, go-to-market strategy, and customer experience as a growth lever.

This is not a retainer-based consulting practice. It's a strategic relationship for organizations at a critical growth moment who need an operator's perspective, not another strategy deck.

Executive Briefings

90 minutes with your leadership team.

For organizations that need focused strategic guidance on Applied AI, customer experience, or growth strategy — without a full keynote event.

Ideal for board meetings, leadership retreats, or executive offsites where your team needs clarity on where to focus and how to move.

Format: 90 minutes. In-person or virtual.

Why Organizations Choose Shama

Battle-tested operator.

I didn't study growth strategy in a classroom. I built a company from $1,500 to a multi-million dollar consultancy, led the first B2B firm to launch an AI app, and exited on my own terms. The frameworks I teach are the same ones I've used to build, scale, and sell.

Trusted at the highest levels.

Named one of the "Top 100 Entrepreneurs in North America" by the White House and United Nations. Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute. GTM advisor to PE and VC funds.

Results that outlast the event.

500+ keynotes across 26 countries. Organizations don't book me once — they book me back. Because teams don't just leave inspired. They leave with tools they actually use.

Tailored, never generic.

Every engagement — from a 5,000-person keynote to a 20-person workshop — is customized to your audience, your industry, and your specific growth challenge.
