In the AI Era: How to Build Irreplaceable Leadership Skills

Event Topic

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how we do business, manage teams, and build companies. But as technical tasks become increasingly automated, a critical question surfaces: What makes a leader truly irreplaceable in the AI era?

To answer this question, Speak to Lead, LLC and CAPA-NoVA are teaming up to host an exclusive, high-value workshop designed for executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs who want to future-proof their careers and organizations.

Featured Guest Spotlight: Lisa M. Ong, PCC, CPA

We are incredibly excited to feature Lisa M. Ong, an award-winning executive coach, keynote speaker, and President of Wishing Out Loud LLC.

As a CPA and a former PwC partner, Lisa uniquely understands the intersection of hard numbers, corporate strategy, and human capital. Known as a "talent multiplier," she focuses on helping financial and executive professionals thrive by building high-trust, inclusive cultures—the exact human-centric skills that AI cannot replicate.

Exclusive Attendee Opportunity

During the event on 6/10, Lisa will be offering three 1-hour, one-to-one coaching sessions that members of our audience can claim. For any professional looking to refine their executive presence or navigate organizational change in a tech-driven market, this individual strategy time is pure gold.

AI Era middle school students career planning

Invest in Yourself

Compassion

The starting point. We understand what others feel and use artificial intelligence to help people solve real-world problems.

Collaboration

We work in teams of humans, sharing strengths and co-piloting with smart AI tools to brainstorm massive ideas together.

Creation

We take those teamed-up ideas and build them! We act as original creators, using AI to shape, design, and prototype art or software.

Communication

We pitch and translate our creations to the world with strong human voices, helping others understand and join our mission.

The AI economy shifts teenage financial planning away from automated service jobs toward tax-free compounding interest engines.

Earned Wealth Chambers: Teens who earn wages by managing AI workflows can park income in a Minor Roth IRA or Minor 401(k), locking in half a century of entirely tax-free compound growth.
Kiddie Tax Protection: High investment gains can trigger punitive parent-bracket taxes. Utilizing a Trump Account, high-growth UTMA stocks, or cash-value life insurance shields growth from the IRS.
Lifelong Deferral: 529 Plans compound tax-free for continuous technical upskilling, with unused balances rolling over directly into a Roth IRA.

Invest in Business

Coach Mike speaks to a large group of students and parents on AI era career planning and financial planning.

I truly enjoy reading Lucy Chen’s second book – Good Moms Do Cry. It is the combination of laughter and tear of Chinese moms raising children in America. The chapter I enjoy the most is “No Piano Anymore,” pages 53-55.
My wife Olga is a private piano teacher, witnessing hundreds of families enjoying or torturing piano education of their children. Olga once says, “Most trophies in Maryland state piano competitions are awarded to Chinese American children. Yet many of these young players appear stern, rigid, and emotionally restrained. They rarely smile or shine; the music becomes a sequence of precise but lifeless notes.” I agree with Olga: our children should love music, not loathe it, eventually.
Lucy shares her struggles and successes in raising her three beautiful children. I fully agree with her: children from immigrant families should have both programs to follow and privilege to pursue their likes. These young professionals will possess life-critical skills: perseverance to academic excellence and can-do spirit to challenge the status pro.
Thank you, Coach Lucy, to share your emotional journey of parenthood as a Chinese mother.
