Speakeasy: The EQ Edge with AI - Can AI Make Us More Human?


The EQ Edge with AI
Thursday 24th July 2025 | 3 – 6pm SpeakEasy is our event series exclusively for HR Managers, Heads of L&D, Talent Leads and anyone in the People space.

Can AI Make Us More Human?
The AI revolution isn’t coming, it’s already here. Tools once seen as futuristic are now in our everyday workflows. But in the rush to automate and optimize, many L&D professionals are left asking a deeper, more urgent question:
Can AI actually help us become better at what makes us human? More understanding, more empathetic, and more connected?
Gut instinct? Occasional feedback? A hopeful guess?
In this in-person workshop
We go beyond the buzzwords. This isn’t about prompt-writing or plug-ins. It’s about mindset, conversation, and connection.
We’ll explore how generative AI can become more than a productivity tool and how it can act as a strategic learning partner to sharpen emotional intelligence, build insight into stakeholder needs, and elevate how we connect, influence, and lead.
Through a hands-on empathy mapping experience, you’ll work through your own real-world stakeholder challenges, combining human intelligence with generative AI to co-create stronger, more empathetic strategies and walk away with tools you can put into action tomorrow.


Join us to:
Discover a new approach to empathy: combining human and machine intelligence to improve how you engage and influence
Gain practical experience using AI to decode stakeholder needs and unlock insight
Connect and co-create with other forward-thinking L&D leaders
This session is for:
In-house L&D, HR, and Talent professionals looking to harness AI’s potential, while keeping a human-centered approach at the core
Leaders who want to communicate with more clarity, creativity, and connection
Anyone looking to balance innovation with authenticity in their learning approach
