Unsubscribe: Letting Go to Lead Better in the Age of AI with Ginny Priem

Host Annette Klososky and co-host/producer Annie Brown introduce a new Leader Spotlight series focused on how leaders are learning, experimenting with, and implementing AI in their organizations and personal lives. Annette interviews Ginny Priem, a former corporate leader, TEDx/keynote speaker, and bestselling author of “Unsubscribed,” about leaders being overwhelmed, “over-functioning,” and mistaking busyness for productivity. Priem explains how letting go, avoiding micromanagement, and building diversified teams improves culture and results, and how her framework helps filter out what doesn’t matter. She shares leaving corporate after a traumatic personal experience, writing “You’re My Favorite,” and building a coaching/speaking business before exiting. They discuss using AI to offload administrative tasks to create more space for human connection in leadership. Priem shares her guiding “architect of your own destiny” mindset and where to connect with her.
