People Support What They Create: Building Gen AI from the Inside Out

Every major technology shift reshapes organizations, but only when leaders and employees adopt it together. Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, author of The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work, joins us to share a step-by-step map for weaving generative AI into your organization by getting employees to create and roll out AI agents across the business themselves, rather than relying on an outside vendor, so the capability stays inside the company and buy-in grows naturally.

Unleashing Innovation at Scale: The ABCs of Leadership

Scaling innovation requires more than ideas—it demands leaders who embody what Jason Wild and his co-authors call “the ABCs”: architect, bridger, and catalyst. Architects build cultures and capabilities that enable co-creation within teams. Bridgers connect across boundaries to access external talent and tools. Catalysts ignite movements that spread innovation across entire ecosystems. When leaders learn to activate these roles, they unlock and amplify the genius already inside their company.

The Life You Didn’t Choose: A Reckoning with Who You’ve Become

It’s crazy how “life” sneaks up on you and everyone but you is suddenly running your life. You absorb family expectations, cultural norms, and unspoken rules about who we should become. You’ve learned to contort ourselves to fit what the world rewards. Until we finally realize we’re lost. The opportunity, the beckoning, is a reckoning and finding a roadmap back to yourself. To find your way toward flourishing. Guest: Organizational psychologist Tonille Miller.

Fair Share: Making Gender Fairness a Leadership Value, Not a Program

Gender inclusion has too often been treated as an initiative to launch instead of a value to live. And something that benefits women, and not men. Brad Johnson and David Smith challenge leaders to build equitable workplaces through daily behaviors, male allyship, caregiving support, fair hiring, and measurable culture change—revealing why fear, silence, and performative programs keep organizations from the talent and trust they claim to seek.
