In this session, Franziska Gonder will explore a human-first approach to leadership grounded in neuroscience, somatic awareness, and relational practice. Through Unreasonably Human, Franziska and her team have supported Fortune 100 C-suites, leaders of pioneering AI companies, and organizations including the World Bank and the University of Chicago. Their broader body of work has also intersected with initiatives involving Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Drawing on this experience, she will examine how leaders’ internal states shape the systems around them, why acceleration can intensify reactive patterns, and how leaders can use AI to expand their capabilities without outsourcing their judgment, voice, or responsibility.
