The Only Constant

In this episode, Lasse Rindom speaks with Katrine Bach - co-founder of Connected Women in AI - about why the real challenge in AI isn’t the tech itself, but how fast our systems entrench around whoever shows up first. Their conversation cuts through talk of values and hype, and asks what it really takes to build representative, inclusive, and effective AI adoption at scale.

This episode challenges the idea that “progress” is neutral - and insists we act now, before habit becomes excluding infrastructure.

In this episode, Lasse Rindom speaks with Jeanette Bronée - global keynote speaker, author of The Self-Care Mindset, and creator of Power-Pausing™ - about how the real lever in today’s fast-moving, AI-shaped workplace isn’t faster output, but human clarity, connection and trust.

Are we designing for and with care? Or just accelerating mindlessly? That's the question this episode explores.

Do you want to know more about Jeanette Bronée?

Jeanette Bronée is a Danish-born, New York–based global keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, and culture strategist who helps organizations unlock the Human Advantage in a world shaped by AI and constant change. With a background in customer experience, brand strategy, and more than two decades as a coach and consultant, she works at the intersection of human performance and organizational culture.

Her career began in design and leadership, where she learned firsthand that customer experience is inseparable from employee experience. After burning out and rebuilding her life from the inside out, she dedicated her work to understanding how people function under pressure and how trust becomes the invisible infrastructure of every high-performing team.

Jeanette is the creator of Power-Pausing™ and CARE OS®, practical frameworks that help leaders build self-trust, strengthen team trust, and design human-driven cultures where clarity, care, and collaboration fuel innovation. She has spoken at the United Nations and guided leaders across global companies, and she is the author of The Self-Care Mindset® published by Wiley.

Her work challenges the outdated idea that productivity is the goal. Instead, she highlights that high-functioning organizations grow from the inside out when people have the tools to navigate uncertainty, recalibrate their energy, and lead with wisdom instead of speed.

In a future where technology accelerates everything, Jeanette believes our competitive edge is profoundly human. She helps leaders turn trust into strategy, care into culture, and change into momentum so people and organizations can thrive, adapt, and innovate, no matter the pace of the world around them.
