  • Kari's Interview on the What's Working Now Podcast
    Feb 17 2025

    AI is revolutionizing business, but are you leading with integrity in this new landscape?

    In this special episode of What’s Working Now with Katie Richardson, we dive deep into how AI is reshaping leadership, the ethical challenges it presents, and the mindset shifts CEOs must embrace to navigate this era effectively.

    Here’s what we cover: ✅ The AI revolution in leadership—what every CEO needs to know. ✅ Ethical AI integration—how to harness AI without losing the human touch. ✅ Costly mistakes leaders are making with AI—and how to sidestep them. ✅ Why AI should be trained like a strategic team member, not just a tool. ✅ Self-mastery—the secret to leading effectively in an AI-driven world.

    Leaders who ignore AI risk falling behind—but those who embrace it ethically will thrive. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and lead with confidence in an AI-driven future, this episode is a must-listen.

    P.S. We also explore insights from my new book, The Human Algorithm: Leadership and Ethics in the AI Era, where I break down how leaders can navigate AI with clarity, purpose, and integrity.

  • Why Big Goals Might Be Holding You Back and What to Do Instead
    Feb 3 2025

    In today’s episode of The Empowered Team Podcast, we’re challenging the traditional approach to goal-setting and uncovering why big goals might actually be holding you back.

    We often set ambitious targets, believing they’ll drive motivation and success. But in reality, big goals can create unrealistic expectations, fleeting satisfaction, and a frustrating cycle of progress and setbacks. Instead of focusing on the finish line, we explore the power of systems over outcomes—a shift that fosters consistency, growth, and long-term success.

    Key Takeaways from this Episode: 🎯 Big Goals vs. Sustainable Progress – Why setting massive goals can create pressure and hinder real growth. 📸 Beyond the Achievement High – The problem with tying happiness to the end result instead of the journey. 🛠️ The Systems-First Approach – How focusing on daily habits and processes leads to lasting success.

    This episode is a must-listen if you’re ready to break free from the cycle of setting goals that lead to burnout and start creating a framework for continuous improvement.

    If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs a new approach to success. Your ratings and reviews help us reach more people who are ready to make meaningful changes.

    Until next time—progress is in the process. Keep growing!
