The Human Advantage: Leading in the Age of AI

AI is reshaping how we work. But the leaders who will thrive aren’t the ones who master the technology — they’re the ones who master themselves. Join Jake Wood for a live, practical conversation on the four human advantages that will define great leadership in an AI-driven world. Drawing on experience leading in combat, disaster zones, and high-growth organizations, Jake Wood challenges leaders to rethink what AI can — and cannot — replace. You’ll leave with a clear framework for leading with self-awareness, trust, and purpose in an era of rapid change.

What You’ll Learn:

• Active Introspection — Why knowing yourself is the foundation of effective leadership when AI can tell you almost anything except the truth about yourself
• Actual Impact — How to cut through noise and focus your team on the actions that drive meaningful results
• Aligned Interests — How to build systems and cultures that scale the right behavior
• Authentic Interactions — Why trust and credibility become your ultimate competitive advantage
