Deb Haas
After 24 years in the corporate cocoon, Deb Haas was laid off - and finally set free. Too spicy to get rehired and too curious to sit still, she launched The Unexamined Mind to help people and organizations reimagine work for the AI era.
A former HR leader turned entrepreneurial sparkplug, Deb blends behavioral science, growth mindset, and playful rebellion to tackle big questions about employment, identity, and belonging. She’s on a mission to move people from fear to curiosity - especially when it comes to layoffs, leadership, and our evolving relationship with work.
Now building a business with AI instead of running from it, Deb helps others unlearn outdated career scripts and create work that actually works - for humans. Her tools? Transparency, humor, and a bold refusal to settle for business as usual.
