People First Hearts, AI Smarts
Monday August 18, 2025 10:00am - 12:00pm CDT
AI is transforming business at breakneck speed-but the true winners won’t be those who simply automate or cut the workforce. The future belongs to leaders who harness AI to amplify human potential, foster innovation, and build organizations where people thrive.

Join our exclusive workshop, “People First Hearts & AI Smarts,” designed specifically for small business executives ready to future-fit their companies for the Intelligence Age.

You’ll discover:
• How to use AI as a strategy engine, not just a cost-cutter-unlocking new value by empowering your team, not replacing them.
• The six levers of a people-first mindset: purpose, leadership, engagement, well-being, opportunity, and appreciation-proven drivers of retention, innovation, and growth.
• Practical frameworks for integrating AI into your operations, HR, and customer experience while maintaining ethical, responsible practices.
• Actionable steps to build an “AI Factory,” launch an AI Academy, and create a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement.

Walk away with a roadmap to lead your business through change, outpace competitors, and ensure your organization is not just more intelligent, but more human.

Ready to lead the way? Secure your spot and future-proof your business-because in the age of AI, people are still your greatest asset.
