From Survival Mode to the Growth Zone: Leading in the Intelligence Age with Jennie Blumenthal

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄

So many leaders are stuck in survival mode—overloaded calendars, nonstop change, and constant pressure to do more. In this episode of The AI Readiness Project, Jennie joins hosts Anne Murphy (She Leads AI) and Kyle Shannon (The AI Salon) to unpack her Growth Zone framework: a practical way to move from reactivity to healthy high performance in the Intelligence Age.

We’ll dig into how AI exposes old leadership habits, why “just push harder” no longer works, and what it takes to lead with clarity and capacity instead of urgency. Jennie will also share how her Growth Zone Coaching Course helps leaders redesign how they work so AI becomes real support, not just another source of noise.
