What if you could confidently embrace AI, without losing your human edge?
Global AI coach Leanne Shelton is on a mission to demystify AI for leaders and their teams. With so much AI overwhelm, AI fear and downright AI confusion out there, her new book AI-Human Fusion is a human-first guide to embracing AI tools through a human lens.
Having seen firsthand the time lost in AI tool rabbit holes and the mistrust bred by low quality AI content generation, Leanne's down-to-earth approach is ideal for anyone who feels they need to 'keep up' with AI tech, without losing sight of what's important in their organisation.
"Leaders are under pressure to adopt AI or risk falling behind, but many don't know where to start, or even what problem they want AI to solve" says Leanne.
"I've written this book to help them press pause on the panic and hype and take meaningful, strategic action."
Drawing on her own pivot from content marketer to global AI coach, along with extensive research and conversations with humans around the world, AI-Human Fusion breaks down AI business essentials at a macro and micro level. It's a highly readable holistic guide, supported by real-world examples and expert insights on everything from AI security and privacy, to legal requirements, ethical considerations and team training.
Readers will discover how to:
Implement AI tools with a human-first mindset
Build high-quality prompts and project briefs that reflect brand values and focus on business objectives
Address ethical challenges, like data privacy and responsible use
Train AI like a new team member, not a human replacement
Cultivate an AI-ready team culture and long-term AI literacy
At the heart of the book is Leanne's HABITS Framework, guiding leaders to create lasting, healthy AI habits that support both business growth and human connection.
Whether you're feeling like you've missed a stop on the AI adoption train, or scrambling to understand how AI can help your team to thrive, AI Human Fusion is the book human leaders need to feel confident and clear on their AI adoption next-steps.
Praise for AI Human Fusion:
"I've learned from countless experts on AI, and Leanne is unique among them, so I'm not surprised she produced such a singular book. AI-Human Fusion is what happens when a deeply curious and inquisitive - and also highly practical - mind meets a subject that is too often discussed in the abstract. This is the guide to implementing AI in your business "for the rest of us" which I bet a lot of people have been waiting for." - Christopher Mims, Technology Journalist, Wall Street Journal
"You don't need to know how generative AI works, but you do need to learn how to use it to stay ahead in your career. Leanne Shelton - an early adopter and passionate advocate of the use of gen AI in the workplace - makes that case clearly, sharing how professionals can embrace AI in a way that enhances their unique values and skills, rather than replaces the need for them. Through her thoughtful insights, personal anecdotes and evident passion for traditional creativity, she shows how to understand AI simply - and integrate AI gently - in an authentic and unique way. If you are someone from a non-tech background wanting to know how to use AI to your advantage, this is a must read." - Marty McCarthy, News Editor - Tech and Innovation, LinkedIn
