Featured Webinar Program: Future Proof Your Organizing Power: AI, Change and Self Care For Organizers.
Presented by: Chet Sisk, President, Universal Basic Resources
We are in the middle of great change. The AI evolution, climate crisis, potential political disruption, the aging population are only a few of the things that are changing how people live their lives. Futurist Chet W. Sisk will share how these changes will directly affect organizers and the people they serve. Chet also talks about the power of self care in order to maximize our potential. He also talks about the trends that are changing the organizing market and what the future holds.
Course Objectives Include:
- The trends changing our world
- The key areas of opportunity for the organizing industry
- Several takeaways on self-care
Futurist Chet W. Sisk says a bigger, more profound message about artificial intelligence is getting buried under the hype and histrionics of popular media. “We’ve lost the plot about why we created artificial intelligence in the first place. My job is to get us back on point”.
Sisk, the founder of Universal Basic Resources, a change management company and Co-Lead International, a non-profit think tank on change leadership, says the fear-based push of pop culture and algorithms has distorted the immediate future and made us give up our agency. “Funny how some of us thought the Jetsons cartoon series was a cool representation of life in the future. Now that we’re here, we’re frightened by it.”
Sisk believes the potential for AI to actually solve some of our most stubborn human challenges and create abundance for all of our communities is not dependent on the technology. It’s dependent on us. “Everything around us is screaming for us to grow up and learn how to drive this new car. Only then will we become a level one civilization where our technology becomes an extension of our greatest dreams and aspirations.”
A world traveler, former CEO of a local advertising agency and author of 6 books, Chet has presented at The United Nations, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Alpha Graphics, The University of Kwazulu-Natal in Durban South Africa, The National Council of State Legislators and hundreds of other organizations on change and transformation. Chet currently serves The Colorado State Legislature as one of the top advisors and writers of a new State bill to determine how Colorado will manage the artificial intelligence wave. He is also in a formal working partnership with tech giants NVIDIA and Arrow Intelligent Solutions who provide him with artificial intelligence insights and ideas.
