In this thought-provoking episode of The Jim Stroud Podcast, host Jim Stroud sits down with Tullio Siragusa, a seasoned executive coach and founder of TullioSiragusa.com, to explore a timely question: Can emotional intelligence survive—and even thrive—in a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence?

Tullio unpacks how empathy, self-awareness, and authentic leadership aren’t just “soft skills” anymore—they’re strategic differentiators that determine whether organizations adapt or fall behind. From the pitfalls of command-and-control cultures to the neuroscience behind rewiring self-belief, this conversation dives deep into what it really means to lead with wisdom in a digital-first era.

Listeners will discover:

Why EQ-driven leaders will outperform AI-powered systems in the next decade

How emotional intelligence can be developed intentionally, not just “inherited”

The hidden self-esteem issues that quietly undermine executive decision-making

How to build psychologically safe, self-managed teams that move faster and innovate more

Why most AI adoptions fail—and how culture, not code, determines success

Plus, Tullio introduces AICMO.io, an AI-powered tool built with design thinking and empathy at its core—helping brands express purpose and connect more authentically with customers. (Podcast listeners receive a free 30-day trial at AICMO.io).

If you’re a leader navigating the intersection of humanity and technology, this episode offers both wisdom and practical tools to help you thrive in the age of AI.
