All In: 5 Strategies For Leaders To Overcome Objections and Embrace AI At Work

Many people in the workplace from intern to the C-suite consider AI the enemy. Their reticence is legitimate and shared by millions across industries and career levels.

Still, many others carefully plan incorporating AI into processes and practices to reap beneficial outcomes, learnings and profits.


“While 99% of CEOs say their companies are investing in AI, the path forward remains unclear. New capabilities emerge almost daily, promising substantial efficiency gains and productivity improvements,” EY reports. “Some have heralded the dawn of a new ‘golden age’ for the global economy.”

Justice Doesn’t Bend Itself: What The Civil Rights Movement Taught Me About Leadership

Martin Luther King Day feels different this year.

Less like a long weekend.

More like a leadership test.


The Civil Rights Movement taught me something I’ve carried my whole life:
justice doesn’t advance through admiration — it advances through leadership.


Leadership isn’t a title. It’s action.

It’s choosing courage over comfort.

It’s showing up when silence feels easier.


Dr. King reminded us that the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice — but only when people step forward to bend it.


What words or actions of Dr. King are guiding you today?

The Power of Women To Listen to Their Bodies and Heal

By Maddie Miles-Manley

Very early in my journey, I experienced an inequity that ultimately led to the creation of Peace Love Hormones. Like so many women, I was told my symptoms were “normal” or simply part of being a woman, even when my body was clearly asking for deeper support. What felt most unjust wasn’t just the discomfort; it was the lack of education, curiosity, and real tools offered to women. We were expected to tolerate imbalance instead of understanding it.

Community is not a buzzword.
It’s a practice.
That’s why we're excited to welcome Roshan Spotsville as a Founding Member of 50 Women Can Lead the Change, an innovative, member-driven effort powered by Take The Lead.

When we asked Roshan why she chose to join, her answer was simple — and powerful:
“My photography business started in 2010, and since then I’ve worked with so many women entrepreneurs.
A few were involved with Take The Lead, and that experience showed me the power of women helping each other level up. I felt this was a great opportunity to both learn and help support other women.”

That’s exactly what 50 Women Can Lead the Change is about.
This initiative is a member-driven community where women leaders will:
  • Create local programming
  • Drive collective impact
  • Advance gender parity in leadership
  • Starting with a beta launch in Phoenix, members are given the resources, authority, and network to help build and expand the movement — city by city. If you’re curious and want to hear directly from founding members about why they said yes:

Go After Investor Bias To Counter Stereotypes

According to World Bank, "Around the world, women entrepreneurs continue to face major barriers to accessing entrepreneurial finance. Female business founders receive a disproportionately small share of venture capital funding, at only 1% of total capital invested in US venture-backed startups."  
Studies show, "Unconscious bias training can help investors uncover and counter the stereotypes that influence decisions. For women entrepreneurs, exposure to successful role models — through networks, accelerators, or business events — can help those entering higher-return, male-dominated sectors. The result is a fairer, more efficient market for capital."
