Megan Leatham shared thisSo excited to kick off this series with such a timely topic! Thrilled to learn from Dorie Clark and Kay Malcolm as they lead the conversation. This is exactly the kind of #leadership dialogue we need right now.Megan Leatham shared thisThe leadership playbook is changing. AI‑driven change, cultural shifts, and constant uncertainty mean leaders at every level are making big calls without perfect information. That’s why we’re launching Leadership Live with Dorie Clark, a series built to cut through the noise and give you real frameworks you can actually use. 🎙️ First guest: Kay Malcolm, Oracle’s Vice President of Product Management for the Oracle AI Database. She’s a leader at the intersection of Data and AI, and the visionary behind Oracle’s hands‑on learning platform, LiveLabs, used by millions. We’ll dig into what leadership looks like when the stakes are real: ✔ How to build clarity and confidence through change, featuring AI ✔ How to run meetings that drive decisions, not just discussion ✔ How to communicate up when “the higher you go, the less oxygen you have” 👇 Drop your toughest leadership challenge in the comments and we’ll try to tackle a few live. #learninglive #linkedinlearning #Leadership #CareerGrowth #ExecutivePresence #Communication #AI #LeadershipDevelopment

Megan Leatham shared thisDaniel Roth, this lineup is objectively fire. 👀🔥 Love how this came together. Satya Nadella, Ruth Porat, Judson Althoff, Lila Ibrahim… that mix of operators, AI builders, policymakers, and global business leaders is exactly where the real signals show up. Not in theory. In how decisions actually get made at scale. One extra layer this year is bringing these conversations to life as quick LinkedIn Learning courses. That’s the part that really gets me excited. Also… yes, Matt Damon. 😃 #WEF26Megan Leatham shared thisWe've got an amazing roster of conversations come up as LinkedIn News takes to the mountains of Davos. In sit-down interviews and walk-and-talks, we'll cover everything from AI to personal productivity; from policy debates to the lessons learned running massive companies and projects. Just some of our lineup: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Former UK PM Rishi Sunak Google CIO Ruth Porat KPMG US CEO Tim Walsh Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur Google Deep Mind COO Lila Ibrahim Pinterest CEO Bill Ready Microsoft Commercial Biz CEO Judson Althoff Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy Amazon CSO Kara H. Hurst William-Sonoma CEO Laura Alber Meta Global Business head Nicola Mendelsohn CBE Adobe CMO Rachel Thornton McKinsey Europe MP Tunde Olanrewaju ...oh, and Matt Damon! And for the first time, we'll also be filming quick LinkedIn Learning courses with many of these leaders to help professionals gain the skills that these folks have mastered (often the hard way). We'll share content week of, but much more in the weeks and months following Davos. As always, be sure to follow LinkedIn News to stay on top of these insights. (And if you're at Davos and want to meet up, stop by the LinkedIn Lounge and ask for me!) #WEF26

Megan Leatham shared thisOk, this feature is fun. The data is a little addictive. I went through my stats… twice. 🤓🫣 Mary Treseler is who I connected with the most this year. Big shout-out to Mary 🙌 Such a great year, and I’ve loved all the collaboration! Have you tried this new LinkedIn feature yet? Who did you connect with the most? #yearinreview

Megan Leatham shared thisIf you’re curious where work is heading in 2026, this is a good one to skim. I loved contributing to it. The data is clear: AI is accelerating, and human skills are still doing the heavy lifting. Communication, leadership, and adaptability are the skills keeping teams connected and moving forward. Professionals aren’t choosing between tech and human strengths. They’re investing in both. And that’s exactly where the future is going.

Megan Leatham shared thisI aspire to be the person whose trust comes from consistency, not just courtesy. It’s about showing up. Even when your pulse is pounding and you’re not sure you’re ready. Thank you for the insight, Adam Grant!Megan Leatham shared thisFriendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

Megan Leatham shared thisThis one had me reading all the way through. I’ve delayed conversations too, “waiting for the right moment,” when really… I was uncomfortable and avoiding it. Every time I’ve leaned in sooner with presence and curiosity, I’ve walked away thinking: Why didn’t I do that earlier? Matt Schnuck breaks this down with clarity and zero fluff 💡 : “Hard conversations aren’t liabilities. They’re leverage points.” Saving this one. Thanks for the solid framework, Matt Schnuck! #LeadershipInAction #ManagerLife #EmotionalIntelligence #TrustBuilding #HumanSkills #CommunicationMattersMegan Leatham shared thisI once delayed a conversation for 3 weeks. I thought I was “waiting for the right moment.” In that time, the problem grew. Trust shrank. When we finally talked: The entire conversation took 14 minutes. Here’s what I said (and what I’d do instead) 1. Open with clarity, not comfort. Skip the social ease. Don’t soften the edges with “How’s your day?” Try this instead: 👉 “Thanks for making the time. I know this is important.” It sets a respectful tone. Signals presence. No pretense. 2. Invite, not impose. When tension is high, control kills trust. Lead with: 👉 “I could use your help thinking through something.” That single line: Shifts the dynamic from adversarial → aligned • Drops defenses • Invites perspective It’s not surrender. it’s collaboration. 3. Make the ask feel concrete. Vague asks confuse. Specific asks create traction. Try: 🗣 “I’m stuck between two paths, can I show you what I’m weighing?” 🗣 “Can I walk you through what I’m seeing and where I may be blind?” 🗣 “What do you think I’m underestimating here?” You stay in the driver’s seat, but now they’re helping you steer. 4. End with space, not spin. Say: 👉 “I’m glad we talked. What’s your read on where we are now?” Then pause. Let the moment breathe. Don’t rush in to manage their feelings. Silence gives them agency. Why this works (neuroscience agrees): 🧠 Emotional safety unlocks strategic thinking 🧠 Empathy flips the brain from defense to dialogue 🧠 We listen better when we feel respected, not managed Hard conversations aren’t liabilities. They’re leverage points, for trust, alignment, and real momentum. ♻ Repost for someone who’s avoiding a conversation they shouldn’t. And follow Matt Schnuck for more!

Megan Leatham shared thisStaying relevant at work isn’t about working harder. It’s about adapting smarter. According to LinkedIn’s 2025 Work Change Report, 70% of today’s job skills will evolve by 2030, with AI as a major driver. This isn’t just a new tool, it’s a shift in how we work, collaborate, and grow. I loved this USA Today article on staying relevant when AI keeps changing the rules. https://lnkd.in/gPnH_tEj The biggest takeaway? Upskilling, reskilling, and adaptability are no longer optional. They’re required for staying in the game. Career expert Shveta Miglani, Ph.D said it best: It’s not about learning more. It’s about learning what matters next. It made me pause to think about how I show up as a leader. (Thank you, Shveta!) With new AI agent functionality rolling out, and even more coming with GPT-5, it’s clear we won’t just be using tools. We’ll be designing with them. 💫 So I’m bringing back Friday upskilling sessions with my team. We’re focusing on how we collaborate to build AI agents that drive productivity. Not theoretical. Not just “for later.” Real learning, inside real workflows. Excited for Rafranz Davis to lead our Friday session! 👉 What’s one thing your team is doing to stay ready for what’s next? #FutureOfWork #Upskilling #Reskilling #LearningCulture #Adaptability #LeadershipDevelopment #AIProductivityWays to stay relevant at work when AI keeps changing the rulesWays to stay relevant at work when AI keeps changing the rules

Megan Leatham reacted on thisMegan Leatham reacted on thisAre we heading toward a world of domain-specific AI models? Two ex-Anthropic researchers just launched Mirendil, focused on AI for biology and materials science, reportedly raising $175 million at a $1 billion valuation. The researchers who built the models we're all using are leaving to go narrow, not broader. (https://lnkd.in/eXC9z83J) For those of us building learning content, the implications are hard to ignore. When every field has its own AI, generic survey courses become table stakes. What wins: depth over breadth, practitioners over presenters, teaching people how to think in a domain, not just what to know.Ex-Anthropic researchers launch AI startup Mirendil to tackle scientific researchEx-Anthropic researchers launch AI startup Mirendil to tackle scientific research

Megan Leatham liked thisGreat leadership expresses curiosity over judgment. It's one of the many big ideas that left me thinking long after I left the studio last week after a convo with Simon Sinek. There's a reason why we feel so inspired when we listen to Simon. Check out this little window into our conversation and you'll see for yourself...Megan Leatham liked thisWant to be a bad leader? Bestselling author and leadership expert Simon Sinek says to do this. "If you want to destroy innovation, if you want to destroy loyalty... then go ahead and prioritize your quarterly numbers above all." Sinek believes true leadership stems from curiosity, honesty and empathy. We got his take on three real-life challenges business leaders face. Use his practical advice to navigate these common scenarios and be a better leader — at any level.

Megan Leatham liked thisMegan Leatham liked thisWait, but is it half full? I need your help in working this out. I believe the biggest shift ahead is not technological or AI-driven… but cultural. And guess who are the ones best known for the behavioural skills we need to succeed? Yep, us. Women. Socialised from the beginning of time to learn them. These skills are urgently moving from the relegated (& often patronised) zone of ‘nice to have’ to ‘absolutely critical’. You know the ones I’m talking about. - How we relate to one another - How we collaborate by understanding lots of perspectives - How we co-regulate the big emotions from the trenches All required to drive change and build the effective teams of the future. So, you might say, it’s our time to lead. And teach. And create new norms. And I know this attempt at optimism is a tad half hearted. It’s just, as I write it, a big question still glares at me: do we even want to lead in these broken legacy systems? One look at the news and I’m tired and angry and, maybe worst of all, apathetic. But I’m hoping that’s where you can help. What should we feel optimistic about today? #InternationalWomensDay #DrivingChange #CultureChange
