Organizations who are adopting AI must also work to strengthen uniquely human skills like judgment, learning agility, adaptability, and leadership. Gartner’s September 2026 Hype Cycle for the Future of Work identifies four shifts shaping work, including expanding human capability in a human-AI hybrid workplace.

Gartner states that successful companies will leverage AI while also strengthening human skills like judgment, creativity, leadership, and decision-making rather than replace those capabilities. The webinar will connect that research to the everyday work of leading teams, coaching employees, and guiding people through change and uncertainty.

“AI can add capability, but it cannot build trust, create a positive team culture, help a team make sense of change, or coordinate strategy and performance cross-functionally” said Dr. Cubas-Wilkinson. “This session will help HR, talent, and business leaders identify the human capabilities that need most attention and choose practical next steps.”

What participants will learn:

-During the session, participants will examine human skills including:
-Building psychological safety so people raise concerns, share ideas, and learn together
-Using emotional intelligence to recognize and respond to human signals
-Leading people through change, transition, and uncertainty
-Strengthening coaching for performance, ownership, and accountability
-Developing learning agility and a growth mindset

Attendees will receive a research-informed view of where to focus talent development investment and practical steps they can apply in their organizations. The session is designed for people who lead teams, support organizational change, or shape leadership and talent development.
