What if AI isn't something to fear, but something that can help you build a more fulfilling career?

Thanks for joining us for another episode of The Glass Sessions! This week, we sit down with Stephanie Hills, executive coach, former Fortune 500 technology executive, and founder of the Career Freedom Accelerator. Stephanie shares practical advice for navigating career growth in a rapidly changing world, from embracing AI as a productivity tool to developing executive presence and building the relationships that can accelerate your career.

We explore the fears many professionals have about AI, why sponsors are just as important as mentors, and how small, consistent improvements can create meaningful career momentum over time.

We discuss:

• The four biggest fears people have about AI and how to move beyond them
• Why AI can be a career advantage instead of a threat
• How to get 1% better every day and build lasting career momentum
• The difference between mentors and sponsors - and why you need both
• Practical ways to start using AI in your daily work
• How to audit your tasks and identify opportunities for automation
• Leadership lessons from leading large teams in Fortune 500 companies
• Why listening is one of the most important leadership skills
• Building executive presence and increasing your visibility at work
• How to take ownership of your career growth and development
