Speaking

Kat Neff brings a perspective to the AI conversation that is rare in any room: 20+ years of hands-on experience in mind, body, and spirit publishing, combined with formal certifications in AI prompt engineering and a practical, jargon-free approach to what these tools actually make possible for creative and communications professionals.

Her entry into AI wasn't driven by obligation or industry pressure. It was driven by curiosity — the same lifelong love of learning that drew her to MBS publishing in the first place. That authenticity is what makes her an unusually compelling voice on a topic that too often generates more anxiety than insight.

Kat speaks to publishing professionals, communications teams, and creative industry audiences who want a grounded, accessible, and genuinely useful look at AI — one that meets them where they are and leaves them with something they can act on.

Just Talk to It

AI as a Natural Language Partner for Publishing and Communications Professionals

The biggest misconception about working with AI is that it requires a new set of technical skills. It doesn't. It requires clear thinking and the ability to communicate — two things publishing and communications professionals already do exceptionally well. This talk shows audiences how to use natural language to build a productive working relationship with AI, moving from hesitation to confidence through practical, real-world application.

Ideal for: publishing conferences, PR associations, communications teams, author organizations

Your Smartest Colleague

Using AI for Professional Upskilling and Career Development

AI is not coming for your career. Used well, it may be the most available, patient, and capable professional development partner you have ever had access to. This talk offers a practical, honest on-ramp for professionals who feel behind and want to move forward — covering how to use AI to sharpen skills, deepen expertise, and grow with intention rather than anxiety.

Ideal for: professional associations, industry conferences, organizational training programs

Follow Your Curiosity

How a Love of Learning Is the Only AI Skill You Actually Need

Kat Neff didn't set out to become an AI-fluent publicist. She got curious — and followed it. This talk uses her own story as a window into a broader truth: that the people best positioned to thrive alongside AI are not the most technical, but the most curious. Drawing on her background in MBS publishing and her experience as a lifelong learner, she makes the case that intellectual curiosity is the most future-proof professional skill there is.

Ideal for: MBS and wellness industry events, women's professional organizations, publishing and creative industry audiences
