What if crisis wasn’t the problem — but the opportunity?

Veronica Zora Kirin is an anthropologist and keynote speaker who studies how paradigm shifts happen — and what it takes to come out the other side having taken advantage of the chaos. Two TEDx talks. Research spanning 42 countries. A body of work built on what it means to change.

Maintaining Agency in a World With AI

Upcoming Speech


Over 55% of individuals are reticent to use AI, and even those that do use it feel conflicted. The whole world seems to be adopting AI regardless of that reluctance. Despite appearances, AI has not finished its paradigm shift — now is the period during a shift when individuals have the most agency. This workshop unpacks how to influence a burgeoning industry from the bottom up.

Why Change Matters

Chaos. Upheaval. Crisis.


Most organisations treat these as threats to be managed. Veronica’s research shows they’re something else entirely: inflection points where the rules get rewritten — and where the people who understand how shifts happen gain an extraordinary advantage.

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork across 42 countries, two landmark research projects, and two TEDx stages, Veronica brings audiences a framework for crisis that is rigorous, human, and genuinely useful.
