Make HOW Matter: Aligning Human Leaders in the Age of AI
A keynote by Julie Williamson, PhD at the 2026 CultureCon AI Summit
As organizations rush to adopt AI, many leaders are discovering that the biggest challenges aren’t technical, they’re human.
In this thought-provoking session, participants will explore how leadership must evolve in order to responsibly and effectively guide teams through the realities of AI adoption. Rather than focusing on tools or technical how-tos, this session centers on the leadership mindsets, behaviors, and responsibilities required to lead in a rapidly changing, AI-enabled world.
Leaders today face a new set of expectations: pulling themselves up the AI learning curve, modeling ethical and meaningful use of AI, and leading with clarity for colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. This session offers a clear framework for how leaders can engage with AI in a way that is both human-first and future-ready, without losing the heart of what great leadership looks like.
