DELICATE:
The Human Advantage in a Rapidly Automated World
FULL SESSION DESCRIPTION
We’re working in a world where AI is everywhere, drafting emails, summarizing meetings, creating memes... But for all its productivity, AI still can’t handle the moments that actually matter — the ones where trust is built, repaired, or quietly lost.
Professionals are leaning harder than ever on automation while overlooking the one thing clients and colleagues still crave: genuine human connection. And when a conversation gets “complex,” AI can’t rescue the awkward pause or smooth over sudden tension. That part is still on us.
There’s a future-ready way to navigate these moments. As AI takes on more tasks, the real differentiators become curiosity, acknowledgment, and presence — the things only humans can deliver. The ARC Method® (Ask, Respect, Connect) gives professionals a simple, memorable way to show up with clarity and confidence, especially when a conversation takes an unexpected turn.
In this engaging, fun session, Bernadette shows audiences what the human advantage looks like in practice. Through familiar missteps and everyday examples, participants see how subtle shifts in language can strengthen connection in a world where automation is everywhere but authenticity is rare.
By the end, they leave with a practical approach to bringing more humanity into their conversations, even as AI evolves around them.
Are you ready to strengthen the part of work AI can’t replace?
