Swap the morning rush for fresh insight—your midweek mindset just got an upgrade.
Join us for the next Coffee Talk, our casual, high-value workshop designed to spark fresh thinking, leadership insights, and meaningful conversation with business professionals across Scottsdale. This engaging morning experience brings together curious minds, forward-thinking leaders, and professionals navigating today’s fast-changing business landscape.
January’s Coffee Talk features Kursten Faller, President of Midgard Project Management, international advisor, author, and expert in project psychology and human performance.
Featured Topic: Beyond Expertise: Why Human Fluency Wins in the AI Era
As AI becomes more capable, many leaders double down on technical expertise—but Kursten reveals why this instinct can become a critical blind spot. In this compelling session, you’ll explore:
• The Expertise Trap and the illusion of control
• Why trust, motivation, and meaning drive real outcomes
• How behavioral fluency outperforms technical fluency in an AI-powered world
• Why leaders who influence people—not just projects—create the greatest value
With 25+ years of experience leading hundreds of global projects across infrastructure, technology, construction, and business transformation, Kursten brings a rare blend of engineering, psychology, and leadership strategy. He is co-author of The Hidden Project Drivers: Building Behaviour that Drives Success (2025) and is known for reshaping how leaders think about performance in complex environments.
If you’re navigating change, leading teams, or adapting to AI-driven shifts—this conversation is for you.
Early risers don’t just sip coffee…they shape the future.
