Using AI Without Losing Trust with Dr. Alex Leathard

from Experience Leadership - The Small Business Podcast · host Marc Haine

Before You Invest in AI, Ask These Questions with Dr. Alex Leathard AI is everywhere. But is it actually helping your business, or just adding cost, confusion, and a shiny new layer of risk? In this episode of Marc Haine Live, MARC sits down with Dr. Alex Leathard, the human-first AI advisor, to explore how business owners, managers, and leaders can adopt AI safely, responsibly, and with purpose. About Alex When he's not consulting on data and AI strategy, Dr. Alex Leathard can be found with a trombone in hand, exploring the Sussex countryside, or spending time with his family.  But his deep curiosity - his love for solving complex problems - is what drives him professionally. As an independent consultant, Alex helps organizations achieve meaningful data and AI success through a human-centric, ethical, and values-led lens.  His journey has been highly varied - from university research to Big Four consulting - and he’s used that wiggly career path to hone one core truth: the biggest blocker to data success is never the tool; it's always a missing clarity or a lack of cultural alignment within the leadership team. He helps leaders bridge that gap. ---- Alex is offering a 30-minute clarity conversation to explore where you are on your AI journey, what problem you are trying to solve, what is working, what is not, and what kind of help you may actually need. You will leave with an honest assessment, a prioritized list of next steps, and a clearer sense of where to go next. ------ Connect with Alex https://hecaton.consulting [email protected]   / alexleathard   ----more----About Your Host, Marc Haine Need to brainstorm aspects of your business or talk to Marc about speaking at your upcoming conference or staff retreat?
