Finding Clarity in the Age of AI
We’ve been talking about artificial intelligence for years, yet it’s still unclear what it actually means for our work. Every day brings a fresh wave of headlines, expert takes, and conflicting advice. It’s overwhelming. And with the stakes so high, making the wrong move on AI can feel catastrophic.
​
Move too soon and you risk wasting time, money, and reputation. Wait too long and you may be left behind.
​
But here’s the truth: AI is not magic. It’s simply the latest in a long line of transformative technologies. Disruptive, yes, but manageable with the right mindset.
​
In this uplifting and energizing session, Graham cuts through the noise. Drawing on historical patterns and futures thinking, he’ll help you take a long-range perspective and move forward with clarity and confidence.
​
You’ll learn how to stay focused on what matters, evaluate the real opportunities and risks, and make smart, strategic decisions in a fast-moving world.
​
By the end of this session, you will:
-
Focus on the AI developments that truly matter, and tune out the hype
-
Explore both positive and negative scenarios to make more balanced decisions
-
Think more strategically about your role in shaping the future
Yes, AI brings uncertainty. Now's the time to lean into it.
