The future will not be shaped by intelligence alone.

Speaker, Advisor, Podcast Host & Co-founder of Humanity Schools

For more than two decades, Rebecca Maklad has had a front-row seat to the conversations shaping our future.

As part of the founding team at ODE Management, founder of Supernova Speakers, and former CEO and Director of Future Crunch, she has worked alongside futurists, scientists, entrepreneurs, authors and thought leaders exploring the forces transforming business, technology and society.

She has hosted more than 125 podcast conversations, advised founders and experts on influence and authority, and spoken for organisations including Nine Entertainment, ANZ, EY, Australia Post and Cuscal.

Throughout her career, Rebecca has been drawn to a common question: what helps people adapt, grow and thrive in times of change?

From the future of technology to the future of leadership, influence, education and human development, her work has always explored the relationship between progress and people.

Today, that question feels more important than ever.

As artificial intelligence reshapes how we work, learn and create, Rebecca's work focuses on the human capabilities that become more valuable, not less, in an age of intelligent machines.

Through her keynote The Human Edge, her advisory work, and her podcasts, she helps leaders and organisations navigate the transition from the industrial age to the intelligence age.

She is also the co-founder of Humanity Schools, an initiative inspired by both her professional experience and her journey as a mother. After spending years studying the future, Rebecca found herself asking a more personal question: what kind of future are we preparing the next generation for, and what capabilities will they need to flourish within it?

That question continues to shape her work today.

Because while technology may change the world, the future will ultimately be shaped by the humans directing it.
