326 | How to Stay Human in the Age of AI: A Leadership Conversation on Culture, Governance, and Innovation

AI isn’t just a tech conversation—it’s a leadership conversation.

In this episode, Jenni welcomes AI strategist Jackie Celske for a timely discussion on leading with wisdom, clarity, and conviction in a rapidly evolving digital world. As AI moves from novelty to necessity, leaders are faced with real questions: How do we reduce fear? How do we protect our culture? How do we ensure innovation makes us more human—not less?

Jackie shares practical insights on AI training, governance, team readiness, and the widening talent gap—along with a powerful reminder that empathy, discernment, and emotional intelligence are still our greatest leadership assets.

This episode will challenge you to think beyond cost-cutting and instead ask: How can we steward this technology in a way that strengthens people and builds thriving teams?
