Human-Centered AI: What High-Performing Teams Do Differently

As AI enters core workflows, many leaders are discovering that technology alone doesn’t drive results. Without clear leadership practices, AI can amplify confusion, weaken trust, and blur accountability rather than improve performance.

In this session, Kathryn Landis helps leaders integrate AI in ways that strengthen decision-making, preserve human judgment, and reinforce team effectiveness. Drawing on real-world client work, she shares practical frameworks for adopting AI responsibly while maintaining culture, trust, and clarity.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Build trust as AI is introduced into everyday work
  • Balance automation with human judgment to support better decisions
  • Establish leadership practices for responsible, people-centered AI adoption
  • Avoid common pitfalls that undermine engagement and accountability

How High-Performing Teams Master Change, Pressure, and Dysfunction

Today’s leaders are navigating nonstop change, widening spans of control, and relentless demands, often with fewer resources and less clarity than ever before. When pressure rises, teams default to meetings, escalation, and reactive decision-making, slowing execution and eroding trust.

In this highly practical session, Kathryn Landis, executive coach and trusted advisor to senior leadership teams, shares what actually helps teams perform under sustained pressure, including how to clarify decision rights, reduce friction, and address dysfunction before it stalls momentum

Participants are introduced to Kathryn’s Aligned to Win framework, a practical approach for clarifying decision rights, strengthening collaboration, and restoring momentum.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Clarify decision ownership to reduce confusion and accelerate execution
  • Identify the hidden dynamics that drive team friction and stalled progress
  • Strengthen collaboration when priorities compete and resources feel constrained
  • Apply practical tools to restore focus, alignment, and forward momentum
