David Grady is a Boston-based keynote speaker and TED Talk presenter known for his insights on workplace efficiency, particularly around meetings. With a background in journalism, public relations, and website production, he transitioned to information risk management, focusing on clear communication to simplify complex issues. His 2014 TED Talk, “How to Save the World (or at Least Yourself) from Bad Meetings,” viewed over 3 million times and translated into 38 languages, critiques inefficient meetings and introduces “Mindless Accept Syndrome” (MAS), where people reflexively accept vague meeting invites.
Grady advocates questioning meeting purposes to reclaim time. His YouTube video on poorly managed conference calls has over 2 million views and is used in corporate training. His latest talk explores how "innovation fatigue" among Generation X employees can be misinterpreted as resistance to change by their Millennial managers. The sudden emergence of AI tools in the workplace, coupled with generational differences in upbringing, presents a teaching moment in his presentation to help audiences navigate this new paradigm.
