- **Morra Aarons-Mele** — Author/Host

As AI transforms how we work and lead, it’s not just a technical revolution—it’s an emotional one. In this session, Harvard Business Review author Morra Aarons-Mele explores how current and emerging leaders can manage AI anxiety, build psychological safety for themselves and their teams, and keep humans at the center of innovation. Attendees will learn to navigate fear and resistance with empathy, reframe anxiety as fuel for growth, and lead with clarity, flexibility, and courage through change.
