Dear friends -
I'm excited to share my latest newsletter “Women are Strong at the Things AI Can’t Do”.

We are in the midst of an AI revolution. So, I’ve been thinking a lot about how gender impacts AI.

This is a culmination of my dissertation research, two books on leadership and gender, and my expertise as an EQ practitioner. I hope you enjoy it!

Leadership, Gender and AI My doctoral dissertation research focused broadly on leadership and gender — and created (or uncovered) a passion and interest that I didn't know I had. Since then, I've written two books on the topic, and I have a publisher for my third book (likely to launch in 2027).

Hi friends - I felt it was time to write this article about the DEI pushback or pullback that you may have seen in your company or heard about. In this newsletter, I explore whether DEI is Out of the Woods, the reasons for the backlash, and how companies can respond. The title is a fun play on Taylor Swift.
