LONDON - s4story -- Alchemist, a global leadership development company specializing in immersive, experiential, and interactive learning, will host a live webinar, Critical Conversations in the AI Era, on December 11 at 4 p.m. GMT.

As AI reshapes roles and expectations, managers are under pressure to lead their teams through uncertainty. They're being asked to introduce change, calm anxiety, address resistance, and maintain performance, all while having conversations they've never been trained to lead.

The interactive session is designed for HR, L&D, and Talent leaders responsible for manager development, as well as middle managers or managers of managers who need to lead their teams through complexity.

"We're seeing a widening gap between what organisations expect from managers and the skills those managers feel equipped with," said Nicky Stirling, chief sales officer at Alchemist. "Critical conversations are at the center of that gap. The ability to navigate tension, surface truth, and align quickly is now a competitive advantage. This is clear more than ever with AI."

"When conversations aren't handled well, you see anxiety, resistance, and performance dips. Managers often go quiet because they don't want to make things worse," said Stirling. "This webinar is a unique opportunity to see just how quickly these conversations can derail and how a few small shifts can build trust and psychological safety."
