Confidence Through Visibility: Unlocking Inclusive Innovation in the Age of Intelligent Sensors and AI

Session details:

Behind every sensor, system, and AI breakthrough are the people who design, build, and implement them. Yet, too often, brilliant engineers, innovators, and diverse voices go unheard—not due to a lack of technical skill, but because of a confidence and visibility gap.

In this talk, Wall Street Journal bestselling author and global speaker Sheena Yap Chan shares her VISIBLE™ Framework for building confidence and visibility in technical teams. Drawing from her movement Confidence Through Visibility™, she will show how empowering people to speak up, lead through uncertainty, and embrace authenticity directly accelerates innovation in industries like sensors, IoT, AI, and embedded systems.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to foster inclusion, psychological safety, and visible leadership in their organizations—because the future of sensors and AI isn’t just about technology, it’s about the confidence of the humans behind it.

Key Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Recognize the “confidence gap” in technical environments and how it limits collaboration, innovation, and diverse problem-solving.
• Apply the VISIBLE Framework (Voice, Identity, Spotlight, Inner Work, Belief, Leverage, Elevation) to empower technical teams to contribute ideas and lead confidently.
• Implement inclusive leadership practices that help engineering and product teams thrive in fast-moving, uncertain environments.
