I’ve started using AI in my work for something I didn’t expect… to help people feel again.
We’ve been playing with how AI can expand our coaching.
It’s become a creative partner, a mirror, a muse. It’s helping leaders recognize themselves with fresh eyes, their purpose, their patterns, and the impact they sometimes forget they’re making.
In my 360 work this month, AI distilled a mountain of feedback into a single, joyfully clear page leaders love to keep close, a spark they pull out when they want to refocus, reconnect with their strengths, and remember the impact they’re capable of creating.
In our goals and values sessions, AI helped turn abstract ideas into vivid, emotional stories, ten-year visions so specific they made us tear up in the middle of a conference room.
Because when you can see the future you’re building, every step becomes less about proving yourself and more about leading from strength, purpose, and wholehearted intention.
And in our team sessions, AI has become a neutral reflector, revealing the patterns in the room and helping teams make decisions in a fraction of the time. The ROI is simple: clearer conversations, faster alignment, and less swirl. Here’s to using AI in ways that help us lead with more insight and a little more heart.
WORKSHOP RECAP
Clarity is your Competitive Advantage
In this recent workshop on Using Self-Awareness + AI for Career Growth, we didn’t just talk about these ideas; we tested them.
We tried different prompts, compared outcomes, and explored which approaches actually moved the needle in our own work and goals. Together, we looked at how self-awareness and AI can help leaders communicate their value, navigate change with more confidence, and strengthen—not replace—the human side of leadership.
The room was thoughtful, energized, and wide open to reflection. If you couldn’t be there, here’s a quick glimpse of what we explored.
We’ll be back in the new year with more workshops designed to help you lead with clarity, connection, and purpose. Stay tuned: exciting things are on the horizon for 2026!
I first seriously implemented AI tools after meeting Allie K. Miller at the Masters of Scale conference in San Francisco last month.
She is as kind as she is brilliant, and her recent conversation with Mel Robbins dives into how AI can strengthen human connection rather than replace it.
If you haven’t listened to the conversation yet, add it to your queue. It’s one of the clearest, most grounded conversations I’ve heard on AI and human behavior, the kind that makes you sit up a little straighter and rethink how you’re leading.
Allie breaks down the future of AI with a level of clarity and practicality leaders need right now, and Mel brings that signature human-centered lens that cuts straight to the heart of how we show up at work and in our lives.
Together, they talk about courage, resistance, change, and the mindset shifts required to lead in a world that’s moving fast. If you’re building teams, navigating growth, or trying to create a culture where people feel brave enough to learn and evolve… this is worth your time.
It’s a resource I’ll be sharing with my clients and community, not because it’s trendy, but because it’s genuinely useful.
“Malika brought clarity, focus, and heart to our board retreat. Her personal touch, reaching out to each board member before the session, built instant trust and buy-in. We left with clear goals, real momentum, and a board that now feels like a team.”
