Guest Introduction
Steff Vanhaverbeke is a veteran business coach and change facilitator helping leaders become irreplaceable in the age of AI. With a background in early web development and 20+ years guiding organizations through change, she focuses on keeping work human while teams adopt powerful new technology.
Key Discussion Themes
- Why most people think they need prompt training—and what actually matters
- Practical AI concerns teams raise first: security, privacy, and data handling
- The “cognitive agility” framework and the five human skills AI can’t automate:
- Flexible thinking
- Emotional intelligence (real empathy vs. simulated empathy)
- Collaboration and collective intelligence
- Intuition and embodied decision-making
- Innovation and truly novel thinking
- Why in-person training still changes the dynamic (even in remote-first teams)
- “Slow is fast” leadership in an age of hyper-productivity
- Staying human as the long-term competitive advantage in business
Listener Takeaway
AI can speed up outputs—but it can’t replace human judgment, connection, and true creativity. If you want to stay valuable, build the skills that aren’t pattern-based and lead your team with intention, not urgency.
