A Familiar Future

Course Description

We often think of the future as unfamiliar, uncertain, unpredictable, or unknowable. But what if it isn’t? What if we’ve been here before—just under different names? In this thought-provoking keynote, USA TODAY bestselling author and generational futurist Ryan Vet shows how the future makes far more sense than we imagine. By drawing on recognizable patterns from the past, Ryan reveals how today’s challenges—artificial intelligence, shifting workplace expectations, identity debates, and cultural polarization—are echoes of cycles we’ve navigated before. While not a crystal ball, this keynote provides the clarity and tools leaders need to recognize those patterns, reframe uncertainty, and lead with confidence. Attendees leave with practical insight to anticipate change, reduce fear, and inspire forward in times that feel fractured and unstable.


  • 01
    Recognize recurring patterns of change and resistance across generations, and apply these insights to present-day challenges.
  • 02
    Reframe uncertainty by connecting current disruptions (AI, cultural shifts, workforce changes) to historical parallels that provide clarity.
  • 03
    Understand how each generation processes change differently, and how those perspectives impact collaboration, innovation, and leadership.
  • 04
    Lead with confidence in times of uncertainty, equipping teams and organizations to adapt rather than resist.
