Episode 12: Circling Back: New insights on AI, Failure and Human-Centric Leadership

Leaders often don’t need more ideas; they need clearer thinking on the ones they already have. In this episode we circle back on our most talked-about episodes in 2025 to unpack what’s new, what we missed, and what matters most as leaders head into 2026. In this episode, Bonny and Nora circle back on the conversations from 2025 that didn’t stop when the mics turned off. As the pod enters its second year, they reflect on what they learned in year one and revisit three standout topics — AI adoption and value creation, recovering from failure, and human-centered leadership — to unpack what’s new, what they missed, and what matters most as leaders head into 2026. Grounded in fresh research, real-world examples, and thoughtful dialogue, this episode helps leaders pause, sharpen their thinking, and build momentum in an uncertain year.
