Worried about what artificial intelligence means for your job or your future? You’re not alone. As AI becomes capable of writing, coding, analyzing, and creating, it’s easy to wonder - what’s left for us humans?

Join this session to learn exactly where your human edge lies - and how to use it to thrive in the AI era. You’ll discover how timeless human skills like creativity, empathy, communication, and judgment are not only irreplaceable, but also essential to getting the best results from AI - transforming it from a threat to an incredibly powerful ally!

Through humor, relatable stories, and real-world examples, Steve will show you how to:

4. Build stronger relationships with people – and yes, with your AI assistants!
5. Market yourself and your value in the age of automation
6. Stay adaptable, confident, and indispensable as work continues to evolve
7. Turn your human edge into your ultimate advantage!
