AI is a People Change: Leading Through the Shift with Brian Elliott & Kalyn Ponti

AI isn’t just changing technology, it’s transforming leadership, culture, and what it means to build high-performing teams. In a world where the future of work is evolving fast, leaders are challenged to adapt with clarity, care, and confidence.

Join us for the next Superhumans event, a powerful conversation exploring the human side of AI and what it means for leaders today.

Featuring Brian Elliott, CEO of Work Forward, former executive at Google and Slack, and recognised by Forbes as one of the “Future of Work 50.” Brian brings global insights into how AI and flexibility are reshaping workplaces and leadership behaviours.

Kalyn Ponti, CEO of Humankind, will bring a practical, local perspective, sharing real-world examples from New Zealand growth businesses navigating AI-driven change.

Hosted by Samantha from Humankind, this session offers sharp, actionable insights to help you lead your people and organisation through this pivotal shift.

For six years, we've had a true partnership with Humankind. They understand our business ambitions, are extremely capable and adaptable. They're just part of the team.
