There’s no shortage of opinions on artificial intelligence, but much of the conversation remains focused on technology, trends, and tools.
In this episode, we take a different path, one that centres on human ingenuity, dignity, and potential in an AI-driven world. Join Cookie and Emily Sauter, Founder of A New Way Forward, as they explore what it truly means to lead in this new era. Moving beyond the narrow focus on productivity and efficiency, this conversation opens up a broader perspective on how AI can unlock growth, spark innovation, and deepen engagement across teams and organisations.
When: 3 June 2026, 12:00 pm AEST
This discussion also reflects on the lessons from early adopters of AI, what hasn’t worked, what has, and what the most forward-thinking organisations are doing differently today. With a focus on clarity, compassion, and courage, Emily shares practical insights into how leaders can navigate complexity while staying grounded in what matters most: people.
This conversation is for leaders and teams ready to think differently about the role of AI, not as a replacement for human capability, but as an opportunity to elevate it.
Expect a thoughtful, honest, and at times unexpected conversation, one that explores the opportunities others aren’t talking about, and invites us all to lead with greater intention in a rapidly changing world.
