After 20+ years in UX leadership, I've watched executives transform from strategic thinkers into their own execution teams to defining agents, building workflows, and drowning in the process. The fear of falling behind has created a new kind of burnout: agentic overload.

This talk shares my battle-tested framework for leading effectively in the AI era without losing your strategic edge, or your sanity. I'll demonstrate the actual workflow stack I use daily as Director of UX at Galaxy UX Studio: M365 Copilot for priority orchestration, Wispr Flow for voice-first capture, and Gemini with Parallel Tools for research intelligence.

You'll learn:
(1) The Priority Pyramid about how to delegate to AI without becoming your team's executor
(2) Voice-first workflows that preserve strategic thinking
(3) Research intelligence patterns that cure information overload
(4) The Human Override Principle that explains when to trust AI vs. when your judgment matters

This isn't theory. I'll show you the tools, integrations, and decision frameworks that let me run a global UX studio, mentor designers worldwide, speak at conferences, and write books, without working nights and weekends. More importantly, I'll share how this approach impacts team dynamics, client relationships, and organizational culture when leaders model healthy AI adoption.

Whether you're a CTO defining AI strategy or a product leader drowning in agent definitions, you'll leave with immediately applicable patterns for the agentic era.
