The AI Upskilling Imperative with John Munsell

John Munsell’s path into AI leadership didn’t start with hype — it started with pattern recognition. After decades in software and digital marketing, he saw early on that AI would become the next defining shift in how businesses operate. When ChatGPT launched publicly, he knew this was more than just another tech trend — it was a full-scale transformation. He sold his agency, rebuilt his company from the ground up, and spent a year working hands-on with executives to understand their real challenges. What he discovered? Most leaders don’t truly understand what AI is, how fast it’s evolving, or how deeply it will reshape their organizations. Today, John helps leaders close that gap with clear frameworks, practical training, and a strategic approach to conscious AI adoption.

John breaks down the real reason AI adoption fails inside organizations: fear, silence, and lack of strategy. When leaders don’t communicate, employees assume the worst — and when leaders don’t understand AI, they block it entirely. John explains why AI adoption is not a tech issue, but a leadership and change management challenge. He shares why delaying AI training is one of the most dangerous decisions a company can make right now. Through powerful real-world examples, he shows how organizations either catch the wave or get buried by the avalanche. And he makes it clear: leadership awareness must come first — before policies, tools, or platforms.
