Leading the AI Revolution: Empowering Women for a Human-Centered Future with Felicia Newhouse13 août 202500:34:33


What if the most critical skills for navigating the age of artificial intelligence aren't technical, but deeply human?

In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica Rooney sits down with Dr. Felicia Newhouse, a visionary leader and the host and founder of the AI Powered Women Conference. With her work at Business to Human, Dr. Newhouse is a passionate advocate for a human-centered approach to AI, championing diverse voices—especially women—to be at the forefront of its development and application.

Join them as they explore the urgent need for women to engage with AI, the common "sticky floors" that hold them back, and how to use technology to amplify our unique humanity rather than automate it away.

Inside the Episode:

  • The Catalytic Shift: Dr. Newhouse's personal journey from AI product executive to an advocate for human-centered technology, driven by a concern for burnout and the accelerating pace of change.
  • The Macro Problem: Why designing AI through a lens of speed and extraction risks automating ourselves out of empathy and ethics, and why businesses that slow down to ask the right questions will ultimately win.
  • A "Sticky Floor" for Women: Discussing a recent Harvard study that found women are adopting AI tools at a 25% lower rate than men, driven by imposter syndrome, tech intimidation, and a fear of being perceived as "cheating."
  • Yesterday's Soft Skills, Tomorrow's Hard Skills: Highlighting why emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and resilience are the top skills for 2025 and why organizations need to start training for them now.
  • AI and Ancestral Intelligence: The importance of anchoring ourselves in uniquely human qualities—like intuition, creativity, and compassion—as we leverage AI to amplify our work.
  • The Future for Our Kids: Dr. Newhouse shares her concerns about the mental health impacts of technology on the next generation and identifies human-centered professions that are likely to thrive.
  • The Antidote to Cheating: Actionable advice for women on how to use AI responsibly for brainstorming, delegating low-leverage tasks, and magnifying their unique brilliance without compromising their integrity.

If you're ready to move past the fear and uncertainty of AI and step into your power as a leader in this new era, this episode is your guide.

  • The "What If" Sticky Floor: Erica's personal story about a client feedback session that revealed her fear of "not being enough," and how she turned that vulnerability into strength.
  • The SNAP Method: A powerful, step-by-step framework for turning gut-punch moments into gold:
    • Stop and Notice: The importance of pausing to observe your body's physical reactions.
    • Name the Trigger: How giving a voice to your fears—such as "not being enough"—helps you regain control.
    • Ask and Answer: The critical step of digging into the "why" behind your trigger.

  • Building Unshakeable Presence: The link between self-awareness and better performance under pressure, faster professional growth, and handling feedback with grace.

Unwinding Perfect with Christine Clyne-Spraker14 août 202400:35:24


In 2023, Christine Clyne-Spraker – health tech co-CEO, mother, and wife – decided to listen to the voice that was not so gently nudging her and make a drastic change. Despite her incredible personal and professional accomplishments, the accolades she had worked years to receive were no longer serving her the way her younger self had hoped. Well-intentioned childhood patterning and years of chasing success defined by society standards pushed Christine to showcase perfectionism in every aspect of her life.  These realities were actually holding her back from the life she dreamed of, and deserved.  After much deliberation and reflection, Christine made incredibly brave – and at times, surprising – life changes that empowered her to shed perfectionism to explore her individuality, truth, and authentic self.   The result unlocked her true Being – and Freedom.
