What She Speaks On

  • Work Will Continue to Redefine Itself

    Automation and AI are not removing people from work. They are changing what work asks of us. The openings are there; the fit is what goes missing.

  • Who Gets Left Behind When the Tools Change

    The opportunity gap runs wider than the wage gap, and it reaches the technically skilled and the technically unskilled alike. Grounded in what the data shows about who is moving and who is stalling.

  • Building When the Tools Move Faster Than the Plan

    Nothing genuinely new is being invented. Uber put a new spin on the taxicab; Airbnb modernized renting a room. The most powerful tool for disruption is not a patent — it is imagination applied to what already exists.

  • Designing the Future With More People in the Room

    Products designed by one kind of person tend to end up serving that kind of person. No part of the economy sits untouched by technology, which makes who builds it an economic question before it is anything else.

  • Keeping the Humanity in Human Resources

    Hiring is judgment, and judgment does not delegate. What transfers when work is handed to a team, what doesn't, and what it costs an organization to get that wrong.

  • Never Compromise Who You Are Personally

    The distinction between being good at what one does and being good at business — and why the second has to be learned on purpose. Her standard, and the forty-seven years of practice behind it.
