AI or Not

Welcome to "AI or Not," the podcast where we explore the intersection of digital transformation and real-world wisdom, hosted by the accomplished Pamela Isom. With over 25 years of experience guiding leaders in corporate, public, and private sectors, Pamela, the CEO and Founder of IsAdvice & Consulting LLC, is a veteran in navigating the complex realms of artificial intelligence, innovation, cyber issues, data management, and ethical decision-making. Our AI or Not guest is Kathleen Wisemandle, MSLOC, DOEC, Founder and CEO, Aspire to Grow Coaching & Consulting LLC.

When Kathleen Wisemandle decided to swap her seasoned biopharma expertise for the entrepreneurial roller coaster, she wasn't just making a career switch—she was embracing a life philosophy of no regrets and full-throttle potential. On our show, Kathleen, the powerhouse behind Aspire to Grow Coaching and Consulting LLC, takes us through her journey of sparking change and nurturing leaders in the tech-savvy biotech landscape. Our conversation is a treasure trove for CEOs, nonprofit mavens, and women at the helm, filled with insights on fostering innovation without losing one's authentic self.
Imagine a workspace where human connections flourish, even through screens and across time zones. This episode examines the art of closing the physical gap with digital bridges, as Kathleen and I dissect the importance of camaraderie and open dialogue in remote teams. It's a candid look at how these bonds don't just boost morale but are the lifeline for well-being and job satisfaction. We share our experiences with keeping the human touch alive in a digital era and ponder over the rich implications of connection for personal and organizational health.
Wrapping up, we turn our gaze to the horizon where technology meets personal growth. Here, we celebrate the power of entrepreneurial communities and AI tools like ChatGPT, discussing how they can reshape information channels and support business innovation. Kathleen and I also confront the challenges women still face in attaining equity in the corporate world, emphasizing the fight for diverse perspectives in boardrooms and beyond. Our dialogue is a heartfelt reminder of the role authentic relationships play in overcoming modern hurdles—like the widespread epidemic of loneliness—leaving us grateful for the wisdom shared and the connections made, and eager to continue this enriching exchange.
