Human Calibration

For professionals operating under pressure

What Niya keynotes change in practice

Organizations do not book these keynotes for inspiration.

They book them to change how people operate under pressure.

This work restores the internal conditions that allow people to think clearly, take responsibility, and act without unnecessary friction.

When this way of operating is applied, What organizations typically notice:

  • Calmer and faster decision-making
  • Fewer reactive conversations and escalations
  • Greater ownership without added pressure
  • A shared language for alignment across teams

These effects do not come from motivation.
They come from calibration. 

What participants leave with

Clear understanding of how misalignment shows up in daily work Simple internal check to recalibrate before reacting or deciding
Shared reference point for aligned decision-making
Practical anchors that can be applied immediately, without preparation

This is not theory.

It is a way of operating that becomes visible in everyday behavior.

Keynotes

Still Standing, Barely

Functioning under pressure Description:

Many professionals keep going long after something inside starts to strain. This keynote looks at what sustained pressure does beneath the surface, how people compensate, and why coherence erodes before performance visibly drops.

Too Fast for Humans

AI, acceleration, and human limits

Technology accelerates. Humans don’t adapt at the same speed. This keynote addresses what happens when systems move faster than people can integrate, and how pressure quietly shifts into judgment, decision-making, and responsibility.

Change Without Recovery

The human cost of constant adaptation

Change stacks pressure when there is no pause to recover. This keynote examines how continuous adaptation affects stability, why resistance appears, and what happens when recovery is never part of the change process.
