Topics for Amy Jacobson

  • Humans still win: EI in the age of AI
    AI can process. It cannot feel. The organisations that win are the ones that back human emotional intelligence.
    Your people are asking: 'Am I still relevant?' This session gives them an honest, energising answer. Amy unpacks what emotional intelligence looks like in an AI-saturated workplace, how to lead humans through technological change, and why self-awareness and empathy are now your greatest competitive advantage.
    • Lead human teams through AI-driven change
    • Know which EI skills matter most right now
    • Build a culture where humans and technology thrive together
  • More voices, more conflict: The conversation advantage
    More people at the table means more opinions, more conflict, and more conversations that people are avoiding. This session fixes that.
    Diverse teams and flat structures are creating more conflict and more conversations that people actively avoid. This session gives leaders the emotional intelligence tools to turn difficult conversations into their biggest asset. Build real psychological safety and get to better decisions faster.
    • Turn difficult conversations into competitive advantage
    • Build genuine psychological safety
    • Lead diverse teams without losing direction
  • Empathy is not what you think it is
    Everyone is talking about empathy. Almost everyone is getting it wrong. You do NOT have to agree with someone to be empathetic, and that misunderstanding is costing your teams.
    Most people confuse empathy with sympathy: softening the message, agreeing with the
    emotion, avoiding the hard truth. That is not emotional intelligence. Real empathy means understanding someone's perspective without losing your own. You can hold the line AND hold the human. Amy shows exactly how.
  • Know the real difference between empathy and sympathy
  • Connect deeply without caving or losing accountability
  • Build trust and have hard conversations at the same time

The only word that comes to mind after a session with Amy is mind-blowing. Peeling back why you do what you do, then piecing it all back togeth is unnerving and equally settling at the same time.
