Key Takeaways:

• AI is not going away - the more we lean in and understand, the more we can leverage it for ourselves, our clients, and our organizations.
• Leveraging AI in your creative endeavors is great to bounce ideas off of, especially for those who work solo.
• All change involves bringing people along with you. The human need for information, reassurance, connection, and upskilling never disappears. Only the challenge in front of us changes.

"We believe that AI and data-driven insights are about augmenting and elevating that people-centered approach. And that's why we find the data, along with the very skill-based empathetic approach, is where the superpower is unleashed for leaders and organizations." —  Kim Bohr
