As AI reshapes how work gets done, organizations need something different from their teams — and from their leaders.

• The leadership skills that matter most in an AI-era workplace.

• How organizations can build cultures that adapt — not just react.

• Why our most human capabilities become more valuable, not less, as AI advances what we must do — as leaders, as colleagues, as humans navigating this shift together.

Deloitte’s 2026 Global Human Capital Trends says 80% of leaders now suspect their employees are using AI to appear more productive than they actually are, showing a blatant trust problem and a signal that the culture is shifting in unintended ways.

Yes, AI is critical. But we’re not asking enough critical questions about integration, adoption, and adaptation. Too much focus on the technology, tools, and ROI guarantees we will miss the vital question:

How is this changing the way people relate to their work, to each other, and to what we say we value as a company?

When organizations don't answer the questions around “who are we in this work?”, employees make up their own rules, and what you get is cultural debt—the slow, invisible accumulation of misalignment, distrust, and unaddressed tension that erodes the foundation of how your teams work together.

This is not an operational or tactical issue - this is a HUMAN issue - and one that HR is the most poised to influence

In This Breakout, Leaders Will Learn:

• What "cultural debt" is and why AI is accelerating it faster than we realize.

• Warning signs that cultural debt is accumulating and cultural norms are drifting.

• How and why HR and Talent leaders are the key influencers to successfully shepherd organizations through change (and prevent the potential backlash).

• 3 Steps HR leaders must take now to prevent cultural fallout leading to change resistance that drives regrettable turnover and costly change delays.

This session is for HR and talent development leaders and decision makers who see and sense that AI is disrupting more than workflows—and want to understand what's happening below the surface so you can actually do something about it.

Boomers want loyalty. Millennials want purpose. Gen Z wants flexibility. Or so we're told. But what if the real challenge isn't generational differences—it's how organizations design work, communication, and culture? This engaging and thought-provoking session separates fact from fiction, explores what employees across generations truly need to thrive, and equips HR leaders with strategies to bridge divides and build workplaces where everyone can contribute their best.

Learning Objectives:

1. Debunk common myths about generational differences at work.

2. Identify universal drivers of engagement across age groups.

3. Implement practices that improve collaboration and reduce generational friction.

Join us for a learning sessions focused on the human skills that enable impact in a fast changing, AI driven workplace. We’ll explore how strong relationships, effective communication, and adaptive influence help teams collaborate better, reduce friction and anxiety, and create the conditions needed for innovation and individuals to thrive. This session is especially relevant for anyone navigating ambiguity, increased workload, or the pressure to upskill rapidly.

Drawing from How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, we’ll walk through 10 practical principles for building trust and connection that remain highly relevant in today’s tech landscape. These principles can help you communicate with clarity, show up with confidence, influence without authority, and foster a healthier, more sustainable way of working—both for yourself and your teams.

1. Top 10 Principles to Create Psychological Safety that Enables AI Transformation: As the pace of AI adoption accelerates across tech, many of us are being asked to adapt faster, and operate with less certainty—all while maintaining clarity, collaboration, and momentum. In this environment, technical capability alone isn’t enough. How we communicate, influence outcomes, and build trust determines whether AI adoption succeeds—or stalls.

2. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living: Top 10 Principles to help you live and work happier You’ll learn the top 10 principles from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living to help build confidence and resilience, reduce imposter syndrome and reduce stress.

We see how these principles help us connect better with our team and perform better as well as improve our wellbeing and work life balance.

Understanding Personality Styles and How to Tailor our Approach for Impact: See why this is one of the most popular workshops to help with team building, breaking down silos and to better understand which approaches work best with different personality styles so you can work more effectively together. Understand your own influence style and how to determine other people’s preferred method of communicating so you can better align, present, and collaborate.

4. How to Disagree Agreeably: How to win the argument without losing their trust. Learn 7 forms of evidence to help build your credibility, add clarity, appeal to different influence styles and make a stronger case. Then learn and practice the process to disagree respectfully using a cushion, empathy, transition and evidence. Builds skills in diplomacy and using evidence to be more persuasive and assertive.

5. The Art of Storytelling: Successful leaders and public speakers throughout history have understood and harnessed the power of good storytelling. No matter your topic or your audience, telling a story engages your listeners and elevates your public speaking to an art. Dale Carnegie believed that public speaking and storytelling are skills to be learned, not inborn abilities. Impactful storytelling requires an understanding of your audience, your topic, and your goal. In this workshop, you will learn the very same skills that Dale Carnegie himself used to create generations of successful businesspeople, compelling community leaders, and even politicians. At the completion of this program, you will be able to:

6. When Things Blow up in Your Face: Turning Setbacks into Confidence, Connection, and Influence. What do you do when a failure at work derails your confidence? Or personal trauma amplifies your inner critic?

In this highly interactive session, you'll engage with vulnerable life lessons that spark deep reflection and real transformation. I share how a professional setback became the catalyst for career success, and how a traumatic accident—a firework exploded in my face, leaving visible and invisible scars—forced me to see myself differently and reclaim my confidence.

This session is not about listening—it’s about practicing. You'll learn a practical framework to reframe setbacks, so you can overcome fear of judgment, and transform vulnerability, relatability, and human connection into leadership strengths. Together, we practice communicating lived experience with clarity and impact—skills that land interviews, motivate teams, and inspire audiences. In a world shaped by AI, attendees leave inspired, empowered, and confident leading with the human wisdom technology can’t replace.
