Welcome to Kinwise Conversations! In this episode, I’m honored to chat with Dr. Alison Harris Welcher, strategic leader, educator, and executive life coach, about nurturing human potential, leading with authenticity, and integrating AI thoughtfully into our work and lives.

Dive into this inspiring conversation as Alison reveals:

• The thread of human potential that connects her journey from high-school English teacher to principal, Public Impact leader, and Chief Strategy Officer at Chiefs for Change.

• “Slow down to speed up,” her go-to leadership mantra for pausing, reflecting, and finding richer answers.

• Real-world AI use cases—from polishing professional emails with ChatGPT to crafting personalized meal plans—without sacrificing her personal touch.

• How to resist the perfectionism trap and embrace your “rough edges” in high-visibility roles.

• A hopeful five-year vision where AI-informed leaders know when to say “no” to technology and lean into human connection.
