In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we sit down with Dr. Kelly Kinnebrew — psychologist, executive coach, and co-founder of Minerva, an AI-powered workplace coaching platform.

Kelly shares what 1,100+ executive coaching engagements have taught her about leadership, burnout, bias, and the future of work — and why the next big shift in performance may come from machines working with humans, not instead of them.

🧠 What Colorado’s controversial AI bill gets dangerously wrong

🤖 How AI can support — but not replace — human coaching (and what tools get it wrong)

📉 The #1 pattern she sees in leaders headed for burnout

⚠️ Why some leaders are thriving under narcissists without realizing the cost

💡 What "work-life blend" means — and why balance might be a myth

Whether you're a founder scaling fast, an HR leader navigating burnout, or an exec trying to lead with more insight — this one’s a must-listen.
