How do you take back control of your career when when disruption hits your industry overnight?

Whether AI is impacting your role, you’re navigating change or finding yourself at a career crossroads, then today’s episode is for you.

I’m joined by Leanne Shelton -- leading AI trainer, coach and Founder of HumanEdge AI.

What I love about Leanne’s story is that only a couple of years ago, she was at her own career crossroads. The rapid rise of AI was disrupting her copywriting business.

Instead of resisting the change, she decided to evolve -- and in doing so, carved out a brand new career path.

In this powerful conversation, we talk about how she made this shift, what a human-first approach to AI looks like and how you can futureproof your career in the age of AI.

You'll learn:

  • How Leanne navigated a career crossroads -- including the key lessons, mindset shifts and practical advice for others facing disruption or uncertainty
  • What a human-first approach to AI looks like in practice and WHY it matters right now
  • The biggest mistakes leaders make with AI -- and how to find the right balance between over-reliance and ignoring it altogether
  • Practical steps to stay relevant and take back control of your career EVEN as technology and your industry evolve
  • How to use AI to improve productivity and performance without losing the human element 
  • The do’s and don’ts for leaders using AI in thought leadership and building a personal brand 


So hit play NOW -- and let’s dive in!
