NASHVILLE, TN, October 23, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Dr. Char Dennis, an educational leader and AI strategist, is set to launch a new virtual leadership series, Lead Beyond the Title, aimed at helping leaders navigate the ethical and purposeful integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in their organizations. The four-session series, beginning on December 3, 2026, is designed to equip executives, superintendents, principals, college administrators, nonprofit leaders, healthcare leaders, and emerging leaders with the tools to lead ethically and communicate effectively in the age of AI.
According to Dr. Dennis, the rapid adoption of AI by organizations has outpaced the preparedness of their leaders. A July 2026 study by ManpowerGroup Talent Solutions revealed that only 3% of organizations say their leaders are highly prepared to manage AI-enabled ways of working, while 78% report employee concern about how AI will affect their jobs. This gap highlights the urgent need for a grounded, values-based approach to AI governance.
Dr. Dennis emphasizes that AI should be seen as a tool, not a replacement for human judgment and ethical leadership. She asserts that every organization, regardless of its size or sector, needs an AI readiness strategy. Ethical AI governance, she argues, is not optional; it is a leadership imperative. The series will guide participants through assessing their leadership and AI readiness, leading people through change while protecting trust and morale, communicating decisions with clarity, and building resilience.
The four-session series will cover a range of topics, including defining personal and organizational goals, managing change effectively, communicating with clarity, and mentoring emerging leaders. Dr. Dennis believes that leadership is not just a title but a responsibility to serve the people one leads. She aims to help leaders build stronger organizations and, ultimately, stronger communities.
Dr. Char Dennis, with over 25 years of experience in education, marketing, public relations, and philanthropy, is the founder and CEO of 1KMEG PR, a boutique marketing, public relations, and strategic communications firm. She is also the founder of Academic Sports Solutions, a program that helps student-athletes succeed in the classroom, in their sport, and in life after athletics. Dr. Dennis is the executive producer and host of the My Style Live podcast, which explores leadership, personal development, emotional wellness, and technology. Her leadership perspective is also shaped by her service as a U.S. Army veteran.
The series, which reflects the four principles of leadership as a moral act, equity fuels excellence, innovation anchored in ethics, and community as the ultimate impact, is designed to help leaders act with purpose and adopt AI responsibly. Participants will leave the series with a clearer understanding of how to integrate AI ethically and effectively, ensuring that technology enhances human potential rather than replaces it.
