SPEAKING
Your next speaker for AI integration and executive leadership strategies.
“James Nicholas Kinney doesn’t preach. He doesn’t posture. He writes from a life lived at the intersection of performance and purpose, burnout and breakthrough. As a global Chief People Officer, a double-certified AI strategist, and a trusted voice in the world of business transformation, Kinney has sat in the rooms where leadership happens—and too often, where it falls apart.”
Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle,
Senior Research Scientist,
Yale Center for
Emotional Intelligence
Author of SustAIning Leadership
SustAIining Leadership, Kinney is redefining what it means to lead in an era of constant change, algorithmic overload, and human exhaustion. His book and talks offer a sharp, emotionally intelligent roadmap for leaders who want to scale organizations without burning out their people—or their principles.
