Book cover titled 'More Human: How the Power of AI Can Transform the Way You Lead' by Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter, with mentions of Marissa Afton and Rob Stembridge, set against a yellow background with a stylized human profile created with concentric circles.

We’re all being told to master AI, but what if the real secret to thriving at work is doubling down on what makes us human?

In this episode, we talk with Jacqueline Carter, author of More Human, about how leaders can build their edge through awareness, wisdom, and compassion.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by tech changes or unsure how to lead right now, this one’s for you. It’s not either/or. It’s not about keeping up. It’s about choosing to start with human.

AI isn't replacing leaders.
But it is revealing what kind of leader you really are.

In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Jacqueline Carter—author, of "More Human"  researcher, and senior partner at  Potential Project—to unpack what it actually means to be a more human leader in the age of AI.

We dive into:
✅ The 3 skills every modern leader needs (and why only 16% are ready)
✅ How AI can amplify—not replace—your awareness, wisdom, and compassion
✅ The surprising ways tech is quietly eroding trust, connection, and decision-making
✅ What leaders can actually do to stay in the driver’s seat
✅ And why people still crave messy, imperfect humans over perfect algorithms

Whether you're in HR or leading a function, this episode is your practical guide to leading with humanity and harnessing technology—before the culture gets away from you.

🔗 Bonus: Jacqueline drops a chilling story about a deepfake scam that almost cost one exec millions. Yes, really.

Tune in if you want to build future-ready leadership that your team actually trusts.
