Emotional Intelligence in the Age of AI: The Essential Human Advantage | Amy Wood
As artificial intelligence reshapes the workplace, emotional intelligence (EQ) has become the key predictor of success, empowering you to understand yourself and others, work collaboratively with both humans and technology, and stand out through empathy, adaptability, and authentic connection. This workshop explores the core components of EQ and their heightened importance in an AI-driven world, equipping you to operate with self-discipline and motivation, inspire others with skills AI cannot replicate, lead confidently through change, and manage challenging situations with agility, leveraging emotional intelligence as your defining advantage.
Antifragile Leadership in the Age of Exponential AI | Alec Newcomb
While most leaders focus on surviving AI disruption, antifragile leaders thrive on it. This isn't about building resilience, it's about creating organizations that get stronger from AI-driven volatility. Discover the systematic approach leaders are using to empower their teams to succeed in the age of AI.
- Data Points from AI Implementations and the shrinking half-life of skills
- Four pillars of antifragility (decentralized decision-making, continuous up-skilling, data-driven experiments, psychological safety).
- Map emerging AI disruptions to current org capabilities; identify “fragile vs. antifragile” practices.
- Develop your team's competitive edge through AI-enhanced capabilities: seeing patterns others miss, humans + AI checklist, and making sense of complex data landscapes.
- How to get your team to commit to action via two-week sprints
You will leave this session with
1. A practical framework for spotting AI shifts before they impact your team.
2. Checklist for turning every project into a learning loop.
3. Template for individual “AI Talent Canvas” to pair AI with your team's strengths.
4. Decision matrix for when to lead with human judgment vs. AI vs. hybrid approaches
The question isn't whether AI will disrupt your industry; it's how you lead your organization to emerge stronger. Leaders who master antifragility don't just survive the AI revolution; they use it as fuel for unprecedented growth.
