AI adoption is moving faster than most leaders can keep up with, but emotional intelligence could be the missing link. In this episode of The Dee-Brief Show, multi award winning Executive Coach and Trainer Dee Clayton is joined by Maggie Sarfo, CEO of Meres Consult, and Will Grover, Senior Coach & Trainer at Simply Amazing Training. Together they explore how leaders use EQ in AI adoption to guide their teams, overcome fear, and harness opportunity.
Maggie shares her journey from global technology analyst to keynote speaker and thought leader in AI. She explains why EQ is the essential human skill that ensures AI is used responsibly and effectively, rather than becoming a source of resistance. From empathy and self-awareness to addressing team concerns, Maggie outlines practical pillars leaders can use to balance machine intelligence with human wisdom.
Dee and Will connect this with their own frameworks, showing how catching and challenging your “AI monkeys” can help executives approach change with clarity and confidence. They also discuss cultural differences in adoption, quick wins for industries such as hospitality, and practical steps for getting started without overwhelm.
If you are a CEO, executive or manager wondering how to prepare your organisation for AI, this conversation shows you how leaders use EQ in AI adoption to stay ahead while keeping people at the heart of progress.
