AI champions are the new leaders in today's digital world. Find them, support them, and give them the right tools and resources to help them lead and transform how we work.
I was in Melbourne recently, speaking at a conference of executive assistants and personal assistants about embracing the digital revolution. When my client booked me last year, it was very much about all things digital - and now AI has taken centre stage.
Whenever I speak to leadership groups, I ask them,
"𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮?"
In other words, who are the people who are keen, enthusiastic, excited about AI, and can lead AI in their team?
But for this group of EAs and PAs, it's slightly different. For this group, I said to them,
"𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮."
Executive assistants and personal assistants are digitally savvy already. They are very good with technology, and many of the quick wins with AI come from boosting productivity with emails, spreadsheets, presentations, and managing calendars – all the things they do daily.
They are also perfectly placed to assess and refine the use of AI in these tasks – for example:
🔹 They know what good writing looks like, so they can spot and correct weird AI output.
🔹 They know how to write in a specific style and tone.
🔹 They know how to extract and summarise long reports and emails, so they can evaluate how well AI does those tasks.
So, when they start using AI, they'll get quick productivity gains and also become the go-to person around AI.

Enjoy!
I have had the absolute pleasure now of contributing to two Business NSW events for Business NSW - Central Coast and Business NSW - Mid North Coast, sharing the stage with leaders from Industry, Government and Academia to consider the opportunities, risks and application of #AI from all angles.
There is no better way to start the day than in a room filled with curious business leaders, passionate about the region they serve with an appetite to innovate.
It is never too late to invest in your education and lead the way in being AI-Fluent. This does not require you to become an expert. It simply means to:
🌟 Understanding the potential of emerging new technology (or functionality in your existing tech) - what are the #coolthings you can do?
🔍 Make it real by pinpointing the opportunities for your organisation and the individuals within it - what is the #value specifically for you and your business?
🌱 Cultivating #culture and empowering your teams to be #curious, experiment, and embrace innovation is key to driving success.
Such great energy in the room - you can really see why the statistics continue to grow for the percentage of business getting themselves AI ready. Big thanks to Scott Goold and Linda Taylor inviting me to be part of the conversation.

When it comes to the impact of generative AI on business, adopting is believing, according to PwC’s 27th Annual Global CEO Survey.
Respondents whose companies have already started widely using the technology reported considerably more confidence than other CEOs in GenAI’s potential to improve the quality of products and services, build trust with stakeholders and change how the company creates value, even as it spurs major changes in the workforce and the competitive landscape.
