She elaborates that a change in leadership was imperative when she was asked to take up a business twice the size of what she was handling and felt the need to establish herself with authority. Bringing in an executive coach, she was able to successfully lead her team, and the business prospered significantly. Enthralled by the substantial change coaching brought her, Jean Ann went on to acquire a coaching certification herself to empower others. She emphasizes how physical expressions and strategic positioning can influence the perception among team members and features some personal anecdotes to drive home the point. Video communication has brought new dynamics to this aspect, yet she believes the human element of intuition remains irreplaceable by any AI counterpart.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"cluay","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"BKJex","text":"As technology becomes more and more human like, how do we invest in developing ourselves as leaders and communicators?","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[{"offset":0,"length":118,"style":"BOLD"},{"offset":0,"length":118,"style":"fontSize_20"}],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"jjxjE","text":"JeanAnn Nichols reflects on the rising competency of technologies, particularly AI, and the need to strengthen our own humanity to lead effectively. Highlighting the enduring importance of so-called 'soft skills' or 'people skills,' she calls these 'power skills,' which she believes leaders should invest in. These power skills, such as humility, empathy, and accountability, help leaders demonstrate their humanity with intention, include others, and achieve better results. While appreciating the capabilities of AI, she contemplates that it may take time for these models to achieve the level of empathy and humility required in human interactions. JeanAnn further discusses her modern leadership model called 'HEARTI,' which includes humility, empathy, accountability, resilience, transparency, and inclusivity. She concludes by emphasizing that the flexibility demanded by changing situations will be a benchmark for AI models to match the human capacity in leadership roles.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"7tkRJ","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"4Uzp8","text":"Speaker Intro: JeanAnn Nichols","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[{"offset":0,"length":30,"style":"BOLD"},{"offset":0,"length":30,"style":"fontSize_20"}],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"bWKmE","text":"Rachel Cossar begins by enthusiastically agreeing with the group. She points out that others are excellent examples. Rachel then raises a question to JeanAnn Nichols about the advice she would share with leaders who are dealing with constant changes and disruptions. JeanAnn explains her perspective on two types of disruptions. She mentions changes in the people environment where expectations towards leaders are shifting along with a changing employee base. Simultaneously, there are environmental shifts driven by politics, technology, and demands from various parties such as employees, investors, communities, and consumers. Therefore, JeanAnn insists on the importance of stakeholder management and the need to balance people, planet, and profits. She explains that without taking care of the people component, business growth cannot be actualized.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"59uRM","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"TTA5I","text":"What advice do you share with leaders who are faced with constant change and disruption?","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[{"offset":0,"length":88,"style":"BOLD"},{"offset":0,"length":88,"style":"fontSize_20"}],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"vlBYF","text":"Rachel Cossar repeats her question to JeanAnn Nichols about the advice she would share with leaders who are dealing with constant change and disruption. JeanAnn explains that the world is witnessing two types of disruption: changes in the people environment and a lot of environmental shift. These changes are caused by various factors, including technology, politics, and a conflict of demands from employees, investors, communities, and consumers. JeanAnn proposes a game called 'What if game', a pre-mortem intended to think through the decisions that would need to make if a disaster or stressful scenario occurs. Through this game, JeanAnn believes it’s possible to build resilience and increase confidence in having a backup plan. This strategy is also applicable for positive consequences and outcomes. She encourages leaders to prepare for both negative and positive outcomes of change.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"MIAIa","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"1InR2","text":"What are some best practices for leaders to consider in embracing AI without losing the full potential of their human workforces?","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[{"offset":0,"length":129,"style":"BOLD"},{"offset":0,"length":129,"style":"fontSize_20"}],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"Kvh50","text":"In micro situations, JeanAnn encourages leaders to consider what they want to be prepared for in a positive way during their day or week. As the final question, Rachel asks JeanAnn about best practices for leaders to consider when embracing AI without compromising the potential of their human workforce. JeanAnn suggests to start experimenting with AI, get a personal experience with it and create a foundation with responsible AI. She emphasizes the importance of being accountable, not only for one's work but also for the systems they create and the impact these systems have on society. Moreover, JeanAnn stresses on the importance of transparency in communication and products, as well as being accountable for their results. Lastly, she advocates for active engagement with AI technologies, continuously adapting to changes and leveraging them to add more value to their business.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"USTRD","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{}}
