Yesterday, I was at the Microsoft AI Tour in Chicago and snapped this photo during a session on the Microsoft Security Platform. Here’s the message loud and clear: AI security isn’t optional—it’s mission critical. This isn’t just an IT conversation. Look at how tools like Microsoft Defender, Intune, Purview, and Sentinel are woven together—it’s a whole ecosystem designed to protect data, people, and organizations. And for HR leaders + executives like us, the lesson is simple: ⚡ Every people decision—hiring, onboarding, performance, compliance—is now a data decision. ⚡ If AI is part of your workflow, security and governance must be part of your strategy. ⚡ Ignoring it? That’s where lawsuits, breaches, and culture breakdowns start. Let’s make this real: When you think about bringing AI into your organization, what’s your #1 security concern? 👉🏽 Data privacy? 👉🏽 Employee misuse? 👉🏽 Compliance? 👉🏽 Something else? Drop it in the comments—we’ll unpack these together in our next Thursday Power Hour.

Leaders, AI isn’t just about technology. It’s about leadership. That’s why I wrote this brand-new white paper: “Smart Tech, Smarter Leaders: Why IQ, EQ & CQ Must Guide Your AI Adoption Strategy.” Here’s the big idea: Too many organizations chase efficiency and forget empathy. They implement systems without building trust. They optimize tech but ignore culture. The result? 70% of AI initiatives fail to deliver ROI—not because the tech doesn’t work, but because leadership does Triple Intelligence AI. This white paper introduces the Triple Intelligence Model: ⚡ IQ (Strategy) → Clear roadmaps, clean data, smart KPIs ⚡ EQ (Empathy) → Leading humans through change, building trust ⚡ CQ (Ethics & Culture) → Designing systems that are fair, inclusive, and compliant Triple Intelligence AI When these three intersect—that’s where AI transformation actually works. 👉🏽 Download + read the paper here. Then let’s talk: Which of these intelligences (IQ, EQ, CQ) do you think your organization needs to strengthen most right now? This isn’t just a read, it’s a leadership blueprint. Because the future of work won’t be led by those with the flashiest tools, but by those with the deepest intelligence

Leaders—one of the biggest gaps I see in organizations is that processes live in people’s heads, not on paper. That’s how mistakes happen, compliance issues pop up, and teams lose productivity. That’s why I recorded this quick how-to video showing you how to use Microsoft Copilot in Word to create SOPs in minutes. 👉🏽 Watch the video here: [Loom link] 👉🏽 Then drop in the comments: What process in your org could you turn into an SOP this week? Remember—documented processes = protected people + consistent performance.

Why did I start this community? Today, I’m at the Microsoft AI Tour in Chicago—and let me tell you, the energy in this room is unmatched. Everywhere I look, leaders are talking about AI strategy, tools, and the future of work. But here’s what struck me: 👉🏽 AI isn’t just about tech. It’s about PEOPLE. 👉🏽 And if you try to navigate this AI era alone, you’ll get left behind. That’s exactly why I created the AI Innovators Club. I wanted to build a space where leaders won't have to figure this out in isolation. This is a space where we can: ✅ Integrate AI without losing the human touch ✅ Protect our people and organizations with governance + compliance ✅ Upskill and prepare our workforce for what’s next Being in community is more important than ever.
