She’s a champion for culturally intelligent leadership — the kind that avoids missteps, builds trust, and creates real inclusion.And she’s also on the front edge of AI in talent. Lori has evaluated AI tools for ethical recruiting, built her own AI agents, and designed leadership programs that blend human-centered development with AI-enabled personalization.From trauma‑informed leadership to simulation‑based manager training to her personal board of directors, Lori models what learning agility looks like in the era of AI.If you care about global leadership, ethical AI, or building cultures where people can truly grow, you’re going to love this conversation.
