Yesterday, we brought together senior leaders from across Philadelphia's business community for a conversation that felt both timely and necessary: The Future of Work in an AI-Driven World.

Megan Marshall facilitated a panel featuring Melissa Swift, Jacob Pantoja, and Gordon Robinson, tackling everything from AI twins and change management to the very human question of what we should never hand over to technology. The breakout discussions led by Larry Clark that followed proved just how much leaders are wrestling with these questions in real, practical ways.

We're grateful to the leaders who joined us from across financial services, life sciences, insurance, logistics, technology, and beyond. Your candor and curiosity made this one special.

We’re excited for more conversations like this to come.

Most leadership behavior change does not fail because leaders lack motivation. It fails because the coaching lacks structure.

Under pressure, the brain defaults to familiar patterns. Leaders revert. The gains disappear. And the organization is left wondering why the investment did not produce lasting results.
This is not a people problem. It is a methodology problem.

The AIIR Method was built to solve it. Assessment, Insight, Implementation, and Reinforcement -- four phases grounded in decades of behavioral science research, designed to produce change that holds even when the pressure is highest.

Across 714 coaching engagements, 94% of leaders applied what they learned to their work and 93% made meaningful progress against their development goals.

Most companies are using AI. Very few are getting real value from it.

88% of companies use AI, but only 5% are seeing real impact. The gap isn't the technology. It's leadership.

That's why we created the AIIR AI Leadership Forum, a facilitated peer coaching experience where senior leaders work through their real AI challenges, learn from peers across industries, and leave with concrete actions to close the gap between AI investment and organizational impact.

Here's what you get:
- Monthly 90-minute sessions in small, curated cohorts
- Real AI challenges from inside your organization, solved together
- Concrete takeaways to act on before the next session
- Open enrollment and private options available
- Standalone or integrated into an executive coaching journey

Your leaders are being asked to make consequential AI decisions every day without the experience, expertise, or peer support they need. The AI Leadership Forum changes that.

The best of the best aren't always who you think they are.

Most people assume TOPGUN is about elite individual performers; the lone wolves, the mavericks, the ones who outfly everyone else. The reality is almost the opposite.

The leaders who earn that patch are the ones who understand it was never about them. It's about serving a culture, a mission, and the people around them. Servant leadership isn't a soft concept — at TOPGUN, it was a condition of entry.

And that principle doesn't stay on the flight deck. It's what separates the leaders who build truly elite organizations from the ones who just talk about it.

On this new episode of A Podcast About Leadership, AIIR CEO Dr. Jonathan Kirschner sits down with former TOPGUN instructors and naval aviators J. Todd Ross, Traci Ross, and Mike "Wizzard" McCabe to unpack what it actually takes to build a culture of excellence, from the debrief room to the boardroom.

Most M&A deals are evaluated on financials. The ones that fail usually come down to something else entirely.

The deals that look good on paper and fall apart in practice almost always have a culture problem hiding underneath. It shapes whether you're integrating people or just absorbing assets. Whether you're building something together or managing resistance for years. And sometimes, it's what tells you to walk away before you ever sign anything.

The organizations that get this right aren't leading with systems changes and rebrand timelines. They're leading with listening.

On this episode of A Podcast About Leadership, AIIR CEO Dr. Jonathan Kirschner sits down with Maxine Carrington, Chief People Officer at Northwell Health, Bill Strahan, EVP of Human Resources at Comcast, and John Touey, Managing Partner at Trilogy Talent Advisors, for a candid conversation on culture, leadership, and the decisions that determine whether organizations thrive through change or struggle against it.

A shared language doesn't mean a shared culture. That's one of the first things Steve Bell learned when Brickworks, Australia's largest brick manufacturer, expanded into the US market.

Merging companies is easy to treat as a spreadsheet exercise. But the harder work is what happens between the lines. The heritage each organization carries. The moment you realize that alignment isn't something you announce, it's something you build.

What actually works? Starting with what everyone already agrees on, then building from there. Common ground first. Then collaboration. Then the kind of trust that gives a team the license to actually lead and innovate.

On this episode of A Podcast About Leadership, AIIR CEO Dr. Jonathan Kirschner sits down with Steve Bell, President of Brickworks North America, and executive coach Jamie Ramsden to get into what it really takes to bring different cultures together, why M&A is never just a project with an end date, and how the strongest teams are built on inclusion, not just efficiency.
