#90 Kat Thompson: How to handle the human side of rapid AI Adoption
from Dev Singh · host Dev Singh
In this episode, we sit down with Kat, the founder of Zest, who shares her incredible journey from the high-pressure world of fashion to the complex world of organisational strategy. This isn't your typical "corporate" talk. Kat opens up about the raw reality of starting a business to outrun grief and why she believes empathy is the most powerful tool in a leader's arsenal. We dive deep into the "War for Talent," the friction between generations in the office, and the "Coffee Cup Conflict"—why tech-native Gen Z grads are struggling with in-person soft skills. Whether you’re a CEO wondering why your strategy isn’t "sticking" or an employee looking to bring your "whole self" to work, this conversation is a masterclass in human-centric business. --------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and informational purposes only.
