Why this topic matters
AI is taking over the doing, and demands higher-impact, higher-influence roles (PwC 2026). Titles are becoming less important. What's worth more now is your business judgement and influence: knowing what to bet on, and how to get it adopted. That requires stakeholder management, from your team to the CEO. In this session you'll learn who to influence, how to avoid pushback as a woman, and how to get buy-in from the people you need to decide.
