AI isn’t just a tech problem, it’s a leadership challenge. And for CEOs navigating fast growth, the pressure to “do something with AI” can lead to rushed decisions, fragmented efforts, and wasted resources.
In this candid, no-fluff keynote, Christina Haxton, MA, LMFT, founder of The Center for Sustainable Strategies, walks CEOs and senior leaders through The AI Strategy Playbook, a practical approach to integrating AI that strengthens, not derails, your strategic vision, culture, and bottom line.
Drawing from her Clarity. Alignment. ACTION!™ framework, Christina reveals how to avoid the most common leadership mistakes when it comes to AI adoption—and instead, lead with purpose, clarity, and profitability in mind. You’ll walk away with real-world case studies, practical tools from the Sustainable Strategies™ Toolkit, and an AI Strategy + Leadership Self-Assessment to benchmark your team’s readiness.
This isn’t an AI hype-fest. It’s a high-impact talk for leaders who want to confidently drive innovation without compromising what’s made their business successful so far.
