Business Innovation & Leadership Strategies For the Age of AI and the Polycrisis

Speaker:
Kim Seeling Smith

We are standing on the threshold of a decade unlike any other—a time of extraordinary speed, transformation, and innovation set against a backdrop of a global polycrisis marked by simultaneous economic, environmental, and social challenges.

At the same time, we see the rise of the empowered workforce – employees who seek purpose, flexibility, and greater autonomy in an increasingly talent short market, reshaping organizational dynamics and leadership.

Join this powerful session to discover how bold, adaptive leadership and forward-thinking innovation can help you not only survive — but lead and thrive — through 2035 and beyond.

Fall 2026 Leadership Seminar

Sunday, October 18, 2026 - in Conjunction with the Fall Forum slated for October 17-21, 2026, in Columbus, Ohio.

Sara Ross - 1 - 300


The LeadFULL™ Way

Speaker:
Sara Ross
Chief Vitality Officer at BrainAMPED & Author of Dear Work, something has to change

In an increasingly uncertain, AI-accelerated world, the numbers tell a troubling story: 61% of leaders feel unprepared to navigate today's complexity, 62% are disengaged, and nearly half the workforce is running on fumes. These aren't just statistics—they're warning signs. Our current approach is leaving untapped collective potential, missed innovation, depleted talent, and high performance achievable in sprints but unsustainable over time.

Combining her background in emotional intelligence and her pioneering research on workplace vitality, Sara Ross has the data to prove there is a better way—one that helps leaders tap into the skills they need more effectively and access the energy they need more sustainably: The LeadFULL™ Way—a vitality-powering, human-centered approach to leadership excellence.
