Over the past two years, AI has dominated headlines, meetings, and strategies. But Kooner cautioned that while organizations race to adopt new tools and models, they risk overlooking something more fundamental—relationships. “If this webinar didn’t have AI in the title,” Kooner joked, “we might not even have the turnout we have today.

As automation and digital tools evolve, human connection, empathy, and trust are becoming the differentiators that technology cannot replicate. “AI can process information at scale,” she said, “but humans process emotion at depth.”
