Moving fast can get you to the wrong answer faster. Destiny Young makes that case from her own marathon training, and applies it to how leaders support people through constant AI-driven change. Destiny is Senior Manager, Experience Quality Programs at ActiveCampaign and co-chair of Women of AC. She talks with Ashley Russo about a career that ran from graphic design at a potato chip company to 911 dispatch to leadership in tech, and what that path taught her about empathy, self-care, and helping employees use their voice.
