Human-Centric Leadership in the Age of AI: Mickaël Dufourneaud
What are the true skills humans will need as AI pervades the workplace? How can we use technology to reinforce our humanness and augment our emotional intelligence—even if it has no feelings itself? How can a shared scarf serve as an analogy for authenticity and reciprocity in relationships? Join us as we welcome facilitator, executive & wellness coach, and COO of Kahler Communications, Mickaël Dufourneaud, to explore the nuanced realms of sustainable leadership, personal growth, and the impact of AI on our professional landscapes.
We dissect the importance of open communication in quelling the anxieties spurred by AI advancements and discuss the intriguing possibility of AI as a 'GPS of human behaviors'. We distinguish between raw emotional data and the brain's interpretation of feelings as a cornerstone for effectively managing our emotional landscapes—whether in leadership roles or personal relationships. We grapple with the paradox of perceived disconnection in an era of hyper-connectivity, the irreplaceable value of non-verbal cues, and the immediacy of genuine interaction.
We also talk about emojis and beloved—or dreaded—ellipses as a spontaneous and nuanced exchange of non-verbal cues. You know? 😀😃😄😉🙃😎
Our discussion ultimately affirms the enduring power of human emotion and empathy in the face of AI's ever-growing presence, and invites us all to foster deeper, more meaningful connections in our lives.
