Tomorrow
Better Than Today.
Keynotes, Workshops, and Think Bytes that challenge business as usual, inspire everyday innovation, and drive growth to make tomorrow better than today.
A trusted advisor to:
In today’s business landscape, the gap between ambition and results isn’t a lack of ideas — it’s mindset.
While Senior Leaders push for innovation and change, teams often remain anchored in legacy thinking patterns. No amount of process optimisation is going to overcome outdated mental models.
To step beyond business as usual, your people need fresh perspectives and the ability to reframe challenges into opportunities.
So, how do you ignite this creative shift across your people?
By equipping them with the tools to think differently, challenge assumptions, and spark new possibilities.
That’s where I come in…
G’day! I’m AJ.
As a Business Strategist and Global Keynote Speaker, for the past 20 years I’ve worked with Senior Leaders across seven countries to help them reimagine business challenges into opportunities for innovation and growth.
What makes me a valuable resource to them is my personal and professional background.
I’m a former Technologist turned Professional Speaker, and I was born and raised in Australia with Sri Lankan parents. So I have this unique understanding of people, technology and business across Eastern and Western Cultures.
Adapt, Innovate, Lead!
Throughout my career I’ve noticed the top performing companies consistently stay on mission, no matter the challenges or disruptions around them.
Accordingly, I created the Get It Done™ methodology, blending insights from behavioural science and neuroscience with my real-world practical experience. It enables Senior Leaders to successfully tackle big challenges like:
- Disruptive changes in industry,
- Digital transformation,
- Evolving employee & customer expectations,
- Embracing DEI,
… and a host of other challenges that used to keep them up at night.
If things are changing faster outside your organisation than inside, let’s work together to make tomorrow better than today!

Inspire a Creative Mindset
Innovation is no longer optional in today’s rapidly changing landscape. I can deliver high-impact keynotes and interactive workshops to inspire your teams to think differently and approach challenges with fresh, creative perspectives. This will help drive the mindset shift needed for long-term transformation.
Practical Tools for Innovation
Alongside inspiration, I offer actionable tools and frameworks that can be applied immediately. From fostering cross-functional collaboration to unlocking new growth opportunities, these techniques will empower your teams to innovate from within and tackle transformation hurdles creatively.
Align & Motivate Teams
Change can be daunting, and it’s essential to align everyone to the broader transformation goals. I can help build enthusiasm and commitment through engaging sessions that rally your teams around a shared vision, while reducing resistance to change.
Leadership Agility & Resilience
I also work closely with leadership teams, helping them adopt adaptive leadership techniques. I provide strategies to become more agile, resilient, and innovative as they navigate complex changes and lead by example.

Explore AI & Other Emerging Technologies
Technology used to be an enabler of productivity but today it’s an amplifier of human capability. I provide closed-door, highly customised briefings for Leadership Teams to explore how tools like AI are reshaping the way we live, work, play, and learn – and more importantly, how they can be used inside organisations to amplify human capability.
