Format: Interactive Executive Presentation
As AI reshapes the pace and scale of business, the leadership skills that matter most are the ones no algorithm can replicate: trust, service, and a giving mindset. This session makes the case that servant leadership isn't a soft counterweight to the AI economy; it's the competitive advantage that determines which leaders and cultures actually thrive through the transition.
Speaker:
A heartfelt video tribute featuring friends, colleagues, and longtime collaborators sharing personal reflections on their relationship with Robert “Bob” Ingram, Jr., a respected media executive who championed diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout his career.
