  • When Innovation Requires Disappointment AI Strategies and Leadership - With Kate O Neill
    2025/06/03
    Does this sound familiar? You're in a leadership meeting and someone asks, "What's our AI strategy?" or "How should we be using ChatGPT?" If you've been in one of these conversations lately, you've probably felt the pressure to have an answer. But here's the thing, you might be asking the wrong question entirely. This week, we're diving into insights from tech humanist Kate O'Neill on why chasing technology trends is letting the tail wag the dog, and what successful leaders do instead. The core insight? You don't need an "AI strategy." You need to understand how AI helps you achieve the strategic objectives you've already identified. ✅ You'll learn why starting with purpose (not technology) transforms decision-making✅ We'll explore the Disney example that makes organizational alignment crystal clear✅ We'll share how to have productive AI conversations at three different levels Kate shares real insights from her work with companies like Netflix, Google, and the United Nations, plus simple ways managers and teams can rethink how they approach change, technology, and decision-making. If you're tired of scattered (AI) initiatives that don't seem to connect to anything meaningful, then this episode will help you have a clear strategy and a team that's aligned.

    2025/05/13
    You know that moment when it’s time to act, but something holds you back? Telling you that you need to think about it more or that you ned to collect more data? But actually, it’s not a lack of data or skills. It’s the quiet voice of self-doubt that leads to second-guessing.

She shares practical tools and a step-by-step approach to help you move through that fog so that you can take action with more clarity and confidence (even if the nerves and doubts don’t fully disappear). Here is what we'll cover: ✅ The science behind why impostor syndrome hijacks your thinking✅ How to spot the signs (like over-researching or perfectionism) before they slow you down✅ A 6-step framework to work through high-stakes calls and make decisions with logic This one’s not about being fearless - it’s about learning how to lead through fear, self-doubt, and all the noise in your head.
