Summary Of This Episode:
The rules of the game have changed and waiting for things to go back to “normal” is no longer an option.
AI is not just another tool. It’s reshaping how you work, how you position yourself, and how you stay relevant in your business. And if you’re a coach, consultant, or service-based entrepreneur, the question is no longer if it will impact you… but how you choose to respond.
To discuss this topic, I invited Tünde Lukacs, founder of Change Republic and former Big Four partner who led large-scale AI transformation programs across Europe. Today, she helps leaders and professionals redefine their role and identity in the age of AI.
You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Tünde is using AI in her business from building her own AI coach to creating scalable offers while staying grounded in ethics, trust, and human connection.
This episode is both a reality check… and an opportunity.
Because the time is now not to compete with AI, but to become more you than ever before.
“AI can replace knowledge, but it can’t replace your humanity.”
What you will learn:
- How to face the threats of AI and stay relevant as a coach or consultant
- How to use AI to elevate your business in terms of productivity and customer experience
- How to handle the ethical and legal aspects of using AI
