How To Lead When The “Right Answer” Changes Every Two Days (And Still Find The Glimmers)

AI is moving so fast that a “right answer” from two days ago can already feel outdated.In this episode, I’m joined by Kyra Meyer-Johanson (Senior Product Marketing Manager at ServiceNow, focused on Platform + AI). We talk about what that pace of change is doing to people, why the fear is real, and how leaders can create an environment where teams stay grounded and move forward anyway.We also get practical about a simple practice Kyra uses called “glimmers”: small moments of good that train your brain to notice hope, not just risk.In this conversation, you’ll learn:* Why AI uncertainty is hitting people so hard right now* A simple way to lead when your team is anxious or resistant* How to create “space” for people without lowering standards* How to use glimmers to bring more joy into your day (even when life is busy)Connect with Kyra* LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyrameyerjohanson/Follow Coachful Coaching* YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachfulcoaching* Spotify: https://spotify.link/NTBgVJIL3yb* Apple: https://apple.co/41Cz5gI#Leadership #AI #Coaching #Change #JoyInTheHustle----------------------------------------CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:01 Welcome + Kyra’s background0:57 Creating space for people to flourish2:28 Why AI change feels so intense right now4:27 Humans hate change, and the pace is accelerating7:35 “Born in uncertainty”: Kyra’s immigrant story10:54 A principal’s leadership lesson: space over conformity12:08 Building an environment where people thrive (even with AI fear)16:08 Who influenced Kyra’s leadership mindset20:42 Instant gratification culture and why we misread “progress”22:06 What to say to people resisting AI and feeling threatened23:35 Slow down: notice fear, then choose your response24:21 Validating emotions without getting stuck in them26:14 What Kyra wants to give back: ripple of positivity28:31 Negativity bias and training the “glimmers” muscle30:14 Joy advice: laugh more and notice the glimmers34:05 Where to find Kyra (LinkedIn + email)34:39 Closing + subscribe
