    Navigating Business Growth in a Data-Driven World

    AI can't build trust. Humans can. As leaders refocus on client relationships in 2025, this matters more than ever. In this episode, I sit down with Fiona Doyle, a senior sales and business development leader with 20+ years driving growth across tech, finance, and professional services, to explore how we navigate business in an AI-driven world without losing the human touch. We dive into:✨ Why AI can't build trust (and what that means for sales and client relationships)✨ The gap between being "data-driven" and actually driving measurable growth✨ How to leverage data for insights, not just metrics✨ The critical role of diversity in shaping AI's future✨ Why doubling down on human connection matters more than ever✨ Practical advice for business leaders feeling overwhelmed by technological change Key takeaway: Technology should free us to spend MORE time on high-value relationships, not replace them. The winners will be those who blend AI efficiency with authentic human chemistry. Whether you're a young professional finding your path, a business leader navigating digital transformation, or someone passionate about mentorship and diversity in tech—this conversation has something for you. 🎯 Start 2025 with clarity, curiosity, and confidence.
