About This Session

Artificial intelligence is transforming how work gets done, but it is also redefining how leaders earn trust, influence decisions, and mobilize people. As automation accelerates, technical capability alone is no longer enough. The leaders who succeed are those who can combine AI fluency with strong human judgment, credibility, and presence.

This interactive program equips leaders with the skills that technology cannot replace: emotional intelligence, executive presence, and clear communication-while showing how to integrate AI in ways that strengthen, rather than undermine, trust and leadership effectiveness.

Grounded in global workforce research and practical leadership frameworks, this program helps leaders navigate uncertainty, lead hybrid and distributed teams, and communicate with confidence in high-stakes environments. Participants leave with practical tools, language, and frameworks they can immediately apply to lead with influence and credibility in an AI-enabled workplace.

Leadership Influence in an AI-Driven Organization
  • How influence is changing as AI reshapes work and decision-making
  • What leaders must do differently to maintain trust and authority
  • Why human judgment remains a strategic advantage
Executive Presence and Credibility

  • Building alignment and engagement in distributed teams
  • Navigating difficult conversations with confidence and credibility
Using AI to Strengthen Leadership Influence
  • Creating clear leadership messages, value statements, and narratives
  • Using AI tools to sharpen-not replace-human voice and thinking
  • Applying AI prompts to support influence, clarity, and alignment
