Main Conference Day 2 - February 25, 2026

1:50 PM Case Study: Energy-Intelligent Leadership: Coaching Techniques that Supercharge AI Adoption

AI adoption isn’t just a technical challenge; it’s a human one. In this session, Laura shares how leadership grounded in energy intelligence can accelerate adoption of AI tools, even in complex, change-resistant environments. Drawing on real-world experience from a Houston manufacturing site, the session explores how coaching techniques help engineers move from reactive, fight-or-flight thinking, into higher-energy mindsets where they see opportunity, take ownership, and drive innovation.

This shift is critical in environments where engineers are stretched thin and skeptical of new tools, especially when adoption impacts decisions around costly maintenance, heat recovery, and carbon reduction. Attendees will learn how energy-aware leadership can unlock faster and more meaningful engagement with AI tools.
