Leadership at Human Speed: A Workshop for Chiefs of Staff
Leadership at Human Speed: A Workshop for Chiefs of Staff
Hosted by The GRIN Labs in partnership with The Purpose Project, Tuesday, April 21
This workshop draws on themes from the HumanX Executive Roundtable, Leadership at Human Speed, held April 6 in San Francisco, where senior leaders gathered to explore what high performance looks like when speed, consequence, and human complexity meet.
We're bringing that conversation to you.
About This Workshop
You see everything.
The tension before the meeting starts.
The decision that moved too fast.
The misalignment nobody named.
The conversation the leadership team keeps avoiding.
You hold the thread of the organization, often without the authority to pull it. And now, with AI accelerating everything, that pace is becoming the norm. But the real question isn't how fast you can move. It's who you are becoming by agreeing to that speed. AI is not just changing what gets done. It is shaping how decisions happen, faster cycles, less reflection, fewer pauses. Without intention, it trains leaders to move before they fully see or understand.
This workshop is not about resisting AI. It's about using it without losing yourself in it. Not as something that speeds everything up, but as a partner that can hold information and create space for better thinking.
We won't focus on tools or productivity frameworks. We'll slow down just enough to see clearly.
What We'll Explore Together
How you show up under pressure — and how that shifts as speed increases
The patterns AI cannot see, but can amplify
Where human judgment must lead in AI-shaped environments
How to use AI to create space for clearer thinking and better conversations
What You'll Walk Away With
A clearer view of your patterns under pressure in fast-moving environments
Language for a conversation you've been circling
A simple practice to slow down in real time before high-stakes moments
How This Works
This is not a webinar. There is no slide deck.
This is a live, hands-on session built for real conversation and reflection.
Camera and audio on, this work happens in relationship. Come with something real: a moment of pressure, a stuck decision, or a dynamic that feels unclear.
In a fast-moving world, presence is a leadership advantage.
Facilitated by Carl Miller and Michaela Zuckova, Partners at The GRIN Labs and co-founders of The Purpose Project, a growing movement built on one belief:
When people learn to notice instead of react, everything changes.
