Most organizations invest heavily in AI upskilling - and then wonder why adoption stays flat. The missing piece isn't more training. It's understanding whether your workforce is psychologically ready to change how they work. 

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Wendy Rasmussen - licensed clinical psychologist, U.S. Navy veteran, and founder of Alpenglow Insights - who developed a diagnostic that measures the hidden psychological barriers blocking AI adoption across organizations. 

We discuss: 

• Why "I don't have time" often masks deeper fears about identity and job security
• The four conditions that must be in place before any AI upskilling can stick
• How mandatory training programs can actually activate resistance instead of adoption
• What two types of AI champions your organization needs - and how to deploy them differently
