Leadership in the age of AI

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes industries across the UK, many business owners are left wondering how to adapt. In this timely session, business strategist and thought leader Neil Lawson will cut through the hype to show how AI is not replacing leaders: it’s revealing them and challenging them to set themselves apart from the AI-scripted crowd. This workshop is for business owners, consultants, and professionals who want to lead with confidence and clarity, even as technology accelerates.

You’ll explore how to connect more deeply with your team and customers, align your business with evolving values and trends, and serve in ways that create both trust and tangible results.

Neil will also introduce a simple, powerful framework to help you lead through uncertainty, stand out in a noisy market, and make strategic decisions in an increasingly AI-driven world.

As many fear ‘artificial intelligence’ might take over, now is the perfect time to fully harness ‘human intelligence’ and elevate yourself above your competition. If you’re ready to move beyond fear and step into future-ready human-led leadership, this is your invitation.
