Leadership, AI, and Strategic Positioning in a Rapidly Changing World
Michael Greenwalt presents on May 20, 2026 at Moonshot
Artificial intelligence is changing how organizations build, communicate, hire, and compete. The challenge is no longer simply understanding AI tools. It is understanding how to position yourself, your company, and your partnerships to remain valuable and adaptable as the landscape evolves.
In this session, Michael Greenwalt will share the vision and unique positioning behind Leviathan AI and RQLab, including how both platforms approach AI differently through governance, human-centered decision making, communication, and workforce readiness.
The session will also provide practical insights into networking, collaboration, and strategic positioning in the age of AI, helping attendees identify opportunities to leverage partnerships, emerging technologies, and human connection to create long-term relevance and growth.
Michael Greenwalt is a leadership strategist, speaker, and entrepreneur working at the intersection of leadership, communication, and artificial intelligence. With a background spanning the military, commercial banking, entrepreneurship, and a career in the fire service culminating as a Battalion Chief, Michael brings a practical, real-world perspective to innovation, decision making, and organizational leadership.
Today, he is involved with ventures including Leviathan AI and RQLab, focused on helping organizations and individuals better navigate the rapidly changing landscape of AI, communication, and workforce development.
Michael is also the author of (Not) Self Made and host of the Beyond Self Made podcast, where he explores leadership, reinvention, and the realities behind growth and success in changing environments.
