Most companies talk about AI adoption. Few actually build the internal culture that makes it stick. In this episode, Jenna Eichberg, Chief People Officer at AlertMedia, gets honest about what it really takes to bring a workforce along on the AI journey - without mandating it from the top down. Jenna shares how AlertMedia is creating psychological safety as the foundation for experimentation, why leaders have to be willing to fail in public, and how even a stumbling live demo from an L&D manager became one of the most powerful moments of team learning she's witnessed. The conversation goes deeper than AI tools and into the human experience of change - the fear of falling behind, the exhaustion that comes with endless possibility, and why movement, reset, and real dialogue matter more than ever. Jenna makes the case that the organisations that will win aren't the ones moving fastest, but the ones creating the conditions for their people to stay curious, resilient, and genuinely engaged. This one's for any leader who's trying to figure out how to lead through transformation without leaving their team behind.
