  • AI Literacy Without the Hype: How Leaders Can Adopt AI the Right Way
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with Jamie Kimes, founder of The Idea Garden, to break down what AI literacy really means for leaders, teams, and organizations. This conversation cuts through the fear, hype, and jargon to focus on practical, responsible AI adoption that keeps humans at the center.


    Main talking points:

    • What AI actually is (and what it’s not)
    • Why process and data matter before AI ever does
    • How to use AI safely and responsibly in your organization
    • Basic prompting skills anyone can learn
    • Identifying real AI use cases vs. forcing AI where it doesn’t belong
    • Addressing fear, ethics, and long-term human impact
    • Why AI adoption must start with people, not technology


    Whether you’re non-technical, highly technical, or leading AI adoption inside your organization, this episode will help you move from fear to clarity—and from curiosity to confidence.

  • From Hope to Power Play: The OCM Wake-Up Call
    Oct 14 2025

    We make the case that organizational change management isn’t a nice-to-have but the painkiller that prevents rework and missed benefits. Leslie Ellis shares how early, human-centered strategy, layered alignment, and capacity planning turn installations into real outcomes.

    • involving OCM at the wake-up call, not at go-live
    • rework versus course correction and why it matters
    • building the foundation upfront: alignment, incentives, capacity
    • PM and change leadership in lockstep for shared outcomes
    • engaging practitioners early to avoid blind spots
    • embracing naysayers to surface truth and improve design
    • layered alignment across functions and time
    • IT and the business aiming for benefits, not just installation
    • breaking silos and coordinating enterprise change
    • change rescue and recovery with an honest reset
    • change requires effort, not heroics
