Roi Shternin keynote speaker

After a workshop in Krems, a healthcare professional wrote:

“This afternoon gave me what I usually try to give my clients: to be met where you are. To be understood, not judged. To be valued simply for doing your best, even if it's not perfect.”

One of her colleagues went straight to a patient that same evening and used what he'd felt in the room — not what he'd learned. That's the difference.

Primary Keynotes

01AI & Leadership Keynote

Machines Handle Information.
Humans Handle Transformation.

Organizations are investing heavily in AI, automation, and efficiency. But the most valuable work inside every organization remains deeply human: trust, judgment, conflict, care, change, and transformation. Roi helps leaders understand where automation creates value — and where replacing human attention creates risk.

Audience takeaways

  • A framework for deciding what to automate and what to protect
  • Why information is no longer the bottleneck
  • How to defend human-only work in efficiency-driven organizations
  • What leadership requires when knowledge becomes abundant

Ideal for

Leadership conferences · AI events · Future of work · Healthcare innovation · HR · Executive teams · Government · Consulting · Finance

02Leadership & Innovation Keynote

Constraint Is Compass

After being told he would never walk, work, or build a family, Roi rebuilt his life from total constraint. This is not a resilience talk. It is a strategy talk about how limitation clarifies priorities, sharpens decisions, and forces innovation.

  • A repeatable framework for turning constraint into advantage
  • How to focus when resources collapse
  • Decision-making under pressure
  • Innovation through limitation

03Healthcare & Patient Experience Keynote

What Do Patients Actually Want?

Most healthcare organizations say they are patient-centered. Few patients experience them that way. As both a former paramedic and long-term patient, Roi shows where trust is lost, how the gap between clinical intent and patient reality becomes invisible, and what healthcare teams can do differently.

  • What patients mean when they say they want to be heard
  • The difference between symbolic involvement and real authority
  • How to improve patient experience without blaming clinicians
  • How trust is built or broken in routine interactions

Questions before booking

What topics does Roi speak about?

Three primary keynotes: Machines Handle Information / Humans Handle Transformation (AI & leadership), Constraint Is Compass (innovation & leadership), and What Do Patients Actually Want? (healthcare & patient experience). 45–60 minutes. English, German, or Hebrew. Every talk is adapted to your room — tell me what your audience is carrying and I'll tell you what I'd say.

What is the speaking fee?

It depends on format, audience, travel and what you actually need — a 45-minute keynote and a half-day facilitated room are different pieces of work. Reduced rates for universities, patient organisations and nonprofits; those are real, not a formality. The booking form asks for your budget range so the first reply can be a straight answer rather than another question. Fees exclude VAT and travel from Vienna.

Can Roi speak internationally?

Yes. Based in Vienna, Austria. Has spoken in 27 countries — Germany, Switzerland, Israel, USA, UK, China, Estonia, and across Europe.

How do I book?

Email talks@roishternin.com or use the booking form. Include your event date, location, audience, format, desired outcome, and budget range if available. I respond within 3 business days.
