Climbing the AI Ladder

You don't need to be an AI expert. But you probably can't afford to ignore it either. The professionals moving up right now aren't necessarily the most technical, they're the ones who've worked out what AI means for their role, their industry, and their next move.

Join Jacqui Pooley (Organisation Development Lead, Culture Amp), Sarah Purches (Managing Director, Kindtide), and Kat Francis (Executive Coach, Coach Kat) for an honest look at what getting talent and culture right actually looks like in practice. Not the hype, not the hot takes, but the real decisions people have made about where to focus, what to learn, and how to position themselves when the ground is shifting under everyone.

What you'll walk away with:

• Where AI is genuinely changing hiring, promotion and career expectations

• What "AI literacy" actually means in practice for non-technical professionals

• How to identify the skills worth investing in right now, and the ones that can wait

• Real stories from people who've repositioned themselves and what actually worked
