AI & Human Potential: Reinvention for the Future of Work | Monica Marquez
Description
Monica Marquez has spent more than 25 years helping organizations navigate change, develop leaders, and create more inclusive workplaces. She pioneered groundbreaking initiatives at Goldman Sachs and Google, and today helps leaders and teams integrate AI in ways that drive real results while keeping people at the center.
In this timely conversation, we tackle one of the biggest questions of our time: As artificial intelligence transforms the way we work, how do we ensure it brings out the best in humanity instead of replacing it?
Monica shares:
• Lessons from 25+ years of leading people transformation
• Growing up in a small West Texas town and questioning the traditional path
• Why adaptability and reinvention are the real career advantages
• Why inclusion still matters — especially in the age of AI
• What people are getting most wrong about AI right now
• How to reinvent yourself for the AI age (and the work of Flipwork)
If you’re in your 20s navigating career uncertainty, wondering how AI will reshape opportunities, or wanting practical insight on staying human-centered in a rapidly changing world of work, this episode is for you.
