  AI Is Not a Technology Problem. It’s a Management Problem | Patrick Bell (18)

  Aug 12, 202647 min

  AI may look like a technology initiative, but Patrick Bell argues that its biggest challenges are human and managerial. Patrick is a business-growth strategist, AI transformation practitioner, author, and doctoral researcher whose career has taken him through 55 countries and across business, education, consulting, and software. In this conversation, we explore why AI puts simultaneous pressure on leadership, teams, structures, and governance, and why small organizational “wobbles” become much harder to control when the pace accelerates. Patrick also shares what employees can do to remain valuable, why universities should raise the standard instead of simply banning AI, how leaders can evaluate AI consultants, and what humane leadership looks like when technology changes someone’s role. We also discuss Patrick and David Lively’s book, The Parrot and the Architect, and the difference between someone who repeats the language of AI and someone who can show what they have actually built.

  The 5 Human Skills That Will Matter Most in the Age of AI (17)

  Aug 5, 202644 min

  If everyone has access to the same AI tools, what will set you apart? It probably will not be knowing the most prompts. It will be the human capabilities you bring to the work. In this solo episode, I break down five skills that will matter most in the age of AI: adaptability, emotional intelligence, leadership and influence, critical thinking and judgment, and learning agility. I also share practical ways to strengthen each one, from asking better questions and listening more closely to testing assumptions and learning through experience. You do not need to work on all five at once. Choose one and practice it intentionally this week. Technology may change how we work, but our humanity will determine how we lead.

  The Wisdom Economy: Leadership and the Human Skills AI Can’t Replace | Mark Vincent (16)

  Jul 29, 202637 min

  What happens when a leader becomes the limit of the team? In this episode of Technically Human, Dr. Tracy Shroyer talks with organizational development consultant Mark Vincent about succession planning, the three turns of leadership, and what it means to lead toward future value. Mark explains why “I’ll just do it myself” may be one of the most expensive sentences a leader says, and why developing someone who can step into your work creates capacity for the organization and room for your own growth. Tracy and Mark also explore what comes after the knowledge economy. As AI makes information easier to access, the distinctly human capabilities of judgment, creativity, deep listening, emotional intelligence, relationships, and non-anxious leadership may become more valuable than ever. A thoughtful conversation for leaders, business owners, HR and talent professionals, and anyone considering what their next chapter of leadership requires.

  How (and Why) I Built My Own AI Advisory Board (15)

  Jul 22, 202643 min

  What if AI could help you pressure-test your decisions through multiple perspectives, without replacing your judgment? In this episode of Technically Human, Dr. Tracy Shroyer explains how she built a personal AI advisory board in ChatGPT. She shares how she chose each seat, the questions she used to open the first meeting, what happened when the board challenged her assumptions, and the boundaries that keep AI in an advisory role. You’ll learn: • How to choose advisors based on perspective rather than celebrity • How to prompt the board to debate instead of simply agree • Why Future You may deserve a seat • How career agency differs from career confidence • Which decisions should remain outside the board’s scope • Why simulated advisors do not replace real experts or coaches The goal is not to automate your thinking. It is to elevate it, and keep the human responsible for the decision.

  The Human Skill AI Can't Replace (14)

  Jul 15, 20261h 2m

  Most conversations about AI focus on the tools. This conversation focuses on the human. Russell van Brocklen shares how overcoming severe dyslexia shaped the way he thinks, solves problems, and now uses AI to produce better work. We explore ChatGPT, Claude, productivity, learning differently, and why the people who thrive in the future won't simply know how to use AI, they'll know what great work actually looks like.
