Developing Human-Centered Leaders in an AI-Driven World

The more technology advances, the more critical unique human capabilities become.

In today’s rapidly shifting business landscape, a paradox is emerging: the more technology advances, the more critical unique human capabilities become.
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the world of work and leadership. But as executives and business leaders, how do we prepare today’s talent for tomorrow’s AI-driven realities? Are we over-correcting toward technical skills at the expense of the timeless human traits that actually drive business success?
Join FACCNE's HR & Leadership Development Forum for an engaging panel discussion on how organizations can develop leaders who are not only AI-fluent, but also deeply human — adaptable and empathetic in the face of transformation.
📆 Date: Thursday, November 13, 2025
🕔 Time: 6 pm - 9 pm
📍 Location: CIC Boston, 5th Floor, 50 Milk St, Boston MA 02109 (directions)
🎟️ Registration: $27 for members, $42 for non-members.
Diamond and Platinum members enjoy 3 free tickets, please email events@faccne.org for registration.
Our panel will discuss how to actively cultivate the essential elements of leadership and development—like trust, empathy, and relationship-building—even as we integrate powerful new tools into our workflows.
We are thrilled to feature three distinct voices, each bringing their specific viewpoint on the future of work:
🌟 Will Foussier, (Co-Founder & CEO, AceUp) will share his expertise in AI-powered coaching, exploring how these tools can complement—rather than replace—human coaches to build leaders who are both data-fluent and deeply empathetic.
🌟 Anne Laure Verdet (NAM Sales Ops Excellence Director, Dassault Systèmes), drawing on her work with the 3DS Graduate Development Program, challenges us: In an era of rapid obsolescence, are we over-prioritizing technical skills and AI literacy at the expense of timeless human capabilities like adaptability and "whole brain thinking"?
🌟 Armand Adande (Director of Sales USA, Distran) brings practical B2B experience to a vital question: As AI takes over time-intensive research, how do human sellers focus on what actually closes complex deals—authentic trust and relationship-building?
The panel will be moderated by Emily Klein, co-chair of the HR & Leadership Development Forum,
After the discussion, stay for networking, food, and drinks — a chance to exchange ideas and insights with peers in our French-American HR & Leadership Development Forum community.
Tickets for this event are transferrable but not refundable, 48 hours before the event.
