Power Hour - Leading AI, Human First

Tune in to this Power Hour ’26: Leading AI, Human First, powered by Positive Foundry, and hear from four brilliant voices exploring how leaders can embrace AI without losing sight of people, culture and human judgment. What made this session so powerful was how each talk built naturally on the last - from culture and trust, to curiosity and wisdom, to people development and finally, a clear destination for AI transformation. What we explored: • Karin Volo challenged us to see AI as a mirror that amplifies the culture you already have - for better or worse - and why trust, purpose and people-first leadership are essential foundations. • Josh Allan Dykstra reframed leadership in the AI era around curiosity, clarity and wisdom, reminding us that while AI moves fast, great leaders may need to slow down. • Laura Cooke showed why developing people is not separate from your AI strategy -  it is your AI strategy - and why human skills will determine the quality of AI outcomes. • Frank Dias brought it all together by asking the crucial question: where are we actually heading? Without a clear destination, AI adoption risks becoming motion without meaning. A thought-provoking and energising conversation hosted by Matt Manners, Founder of Inspiring Workplaces, for any leader trying to make sense of AI, culture and the future of human work.
