Summary

AI is moving faster than anyone expected — and most leaders aren’t ready. In this masterclass, three experts reveal what’s actually changing, what isn’t, and the human skills you’ll need to stay relevant in a world where AI touches every job, every industry, and every conversation. Media executive Bonnie St. John explains how AI is reshaping storytelling, communication, and trust — and why leaders must learn to guide teams through fear, change, and uncertainty. Veteran educator and former military leader Dr. Heiss Gibson breaks down the mindset shifts required to lead humans in an AI-driven world, emphasizing humility, curiosity, and emotional intelligence over technical perfection. And innovation strategist Rich Farrell shows how to experiment, adapt, and help your team build AI confidence without losing sight of the mission.
