Am I Safe? Leadership, corporate consulting, & winning clients in the AI age with Nicky J. Davies

from Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life Podcast · host Francine Beleyi

The managers who excel at process are the ones who will be let go first. As AI takes over coordination and reporting, the "middle management" safety net is vanishing. So, where does that leave you as a consultant or coach? In this episode, Francine Beleyi is hosting Nicky J. Davies, author of The Corporate Success Pathway: The Proven Path to Consistent, High-Value Contracts - Without Cold Pitching or Chasing Leads, to discuss the "A-word" and how to position yourself as a strategic partner in a time of massive uncertainty. Nicky explains why "human connection" is the new currency of leadership and shares her proven 5-step system for winning corporate contracts. Tune in to discover: Why organisations are desperate for help with "new-skilling" their workforce. How to answer the question every employee is asking: "Am I safe?". Why you should stop pitching to HR and start hosting "Executive Roundtables" instead. How to calculate your fees based on the value you deliver, not just the days you work.
