She explains why environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues are still essential, even as some companies shy away from them. Drawing from Canadian regulations, climate disclosure frameworks, and Patagonia’s business model, she lays out how boards and senior executives can stay focused, transparent, and aligned with their values.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[Leadership in the AI era demands more than driving efficiency and innovation—it requires a deep commitment to the human element. As AI transforms industries, leaders face the challenge of guiding their teams through uncertainty, adapting to new roles, and addressing anxieties about rapid change. Compassionate leadership, centred on emotional intelligence, empathy, and inclusivity, bridges the gap between technology and humanity.
