Podcast 238: Leading Through Change: Balancing AI, Innovation, and Workplace Culture

With a unique background in leadership, organizational strategy, and academia, Moira Petit brings fresh insight into the evolving relationship between AI and human leadership. As the co-founder and partner of Activ8 LLC and ProjectWe, she has firsthand experience in leading organizations through change. In this episode, we dive into how technology is reshaping the workplace—while the core principles of leadership, company culture, and human connection remain as important as ever.

Moira shares practical ways AI can support decision-making, streamline operations, and enhance leadership, but also explains why emotional intelligence, adaptability, and genuine human connection are irreplaceable. She offers thoughtful strategies for integrating AI without losing the “human touch”, ensuring businesses stay both innovative and people-focused.

She also opens up about a deeply personal story—how watching her son navigate challenges has shaped her own leadership approach. His journey reinforced her belief in the power of resilience, mentorship, and continuous learning, qualities every leader needs in today’s rapidly changing world.

If you’re a business owner, executive, or entrepreneur looking to balance innovation with strong leadership, this episode is for you. Tune in and take away real-world insights you can apply right away!
