Some leaders worry AI might replace them.
The smartest ones?
They’re using it to enhance their leadership and grow their careers.
At our last sold-out Leadership Choices webinar (80 seats gone in days!), HR pros and coaches explored how AI can actually strengthen leadership. The session confirmed what I’ve been seeing in my coaching practice with mid-level managers:
👉 Leaders who build AI confidence gain clarity, awareness, and headspace.
Using proven coaching frameworks, I help leaders structure their approach—and bring more of their human presence into how they use AI professionally. Here’s what that looks like in action:
🔹 Scaling Impact
A VP uses AI weekly to stay ahead of industry trends, building curated reading lists and quick-scan summaries.
🔹 Strengthening Communication
A manager spotted language patterns using AI tools during coaching. Anonymized input revealed strengths—and unlocked more inclusive messaging. (This one’s close to my heart.)
🔹 Decision Clarity
One excellence manager used AI to compare data sets and verify inputs. It sped up decision-making—without sacrificing human judgment.
💡Surprising insight:* Leaders who co-create with AI report better decisions and a creative spark.
AI isn’t replacing leadership—it’s boosting it.
The key? Balancing tech and intuition.
These leaders gain time for what matters most: real conversations, deeper trust, and less energy-draining distraction.
