Ask the Experts: ROOTED™ in the Age of AI

Description

AI is changing business faster than most organizations can comfortably absorb. Marketing is changing. Hiring is changing. Customer expectations are changing. Technology keeps evolving — and many small business leaders quietly feel overwhelmed by the speed of it all. This is not just a technology challenge. It is a human adaptability challenge. 

Many leaders are already aware that AI presents a workforce challenge. This session is for those ready to move from awareness to action. 

Join Dayle Beyer, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Tech 4 All Tennessee, for a practical, grounded Ask the Expert session designed specifically for small business leaders navigating rapid change. 

You’ll leave with: 

• Practical AI knowledge and tools that can improve productivity and save time 
• A clearer understanding of how AI is reshaping leadership, communication, and workforce expectations 
• An introduction to the ROOTED™ Self-Leadership Framework — a practical model for building adaptability, curiosity, and grounded leadership in uncertain times 

This session goes beyond technology tools. It focuses on the human skills that help leaders remain effective while everything keeps changing.
