Session: Women Who Stay Human in a World Run by AI: The New Power Revolution
For decades, leadership models encouraged women to disconnect from essential parts of themselves, intuition, emotional depth, empathy, softness, and sensitivity, in order to fit into systems designed without them in mind. Men, too, were conditioned to suppress their emotional intelligence and inner clarity, rewarded instead for certainty, performance, and control. Both genders were asked to lead with only half of their humanity.AI has now exposed a profound truth:
everything we taught humans to suppress is precisely what machines cannot replicate.
Empathy, intuitive judgment, emotional clarity, relational intelligence, presence, and creativity, once dismissed as “soft skills”, are becoming the defining leadership advantages of the next decade.
Women, after a lifetime of navigating complexity, expectations, emotional labor, and dual identities, have been unconsciously developing the very capacities the future of leadership demands. Not because they are better, but because they have lived in the tension between two worlds, and tension builds strength.
Key Takeaways
- A new leadership blueprint: why emotional intelligence, intuition, empathy, and presence are the top power skills in an AI-driven world.
- A deep reframing of “feminine leadership energy” as a strategic advantage, not a weakness.
- Clarity on how to lead with their full self, not the half-version that corporate conditioning trained them to be.
- Tools to strengthen emotional mastery and stay grounded under pressure.
- A framework to integrate both strength and softness for more impactful decision-making.

Myriam’s message is simple and bold:
AI won’t replace human leaders, but it will expose which ones are brave enough to lead with their whole self.
