Brady Wood’s career has spanned high-pressure, high-change environments, from hospital leadership to scaling national brands to advisory. Across every stage, he’s seen one principle hold true: success belongs to those who can learn and adapt faster than their environment.

In today’s world the potential of public relations is not simply effective communication, but strategic adaptability in action. As AI accelerates information and compresses decision cycles, PR professionals are uniquely positioned to act as adaptive strategists. By sensing shifts, interpreting complexity, and guiding leaders through ambiguity.

In this talk, Brady shares lessons on building a career and a leadership mindset defined by continuous learning, curiosity, and the courage to evolve in public.
