Lisa Kjellstrom Speaks at the California Special Districts Association Annual Conference

What does human-centered leadership look like in the age of AI? Hopefully, it looks a little more human than we think!

Co-Founder of Reflection Institute, Lisa Kjellstrom, traveled to Palm Springs, California, to speak at the California Special Districts Association Annual Conference in partnership with CPS HR Consulting, exploring the human skills that matter even more as AI becomes increasingly capable.

This video is part of her Behind the Keynote series - so you also get everything around the more 'presentable presentation' piece! The early flight. The hotel room. Conference prep. Fluffy slippers. Post-gym tousled hair. A boat ride. Even freaking Flamingos!! And eventually... yes, the stage.

There's something wonderfully fitting about talking about the future of human-centered leadership while also making room for the very human moments in and around the work. Oftentimes, that’s where the pause on purpose moments happen!

The question we keep coming back to is this: As AI gets better at being AI, how do we become better at being human?

For Reflection Institute, that's where the most interesting conversation about pausing begins.
