Why GenX Leaders Are Perfectly Positioned to Lead AI Transformation | 5 Readiness Areas

The AI Revolution GenX Leaders Were Born For 🚨

PLOT TWIST: The key to successful AI transformation ISN'T your youngest employees—it's your GenX leaders who remember dial-up AND can navigate ChatGPT like a pro.

While everyone's fighting over Millennials and Gen Z, there's an entire generation with the EXACT skills needed to bridge the human-AI divide. And they're being completely overlooked. 🤔

In this episode, leadership expert Che' Blackmon reveals why Generation X (born 1965-1980) is uniquely positioned to lead AI transformation—and shares the CBC AI Culture Readiness Assessment framework to evaluate if YOUR organization is actually ready for AI or just pretending to be.
⚡ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
🔹 Why being "analog-digital bilingual" is the superpower your AI strategy desperately needs
🔹 The 4 critical advantages GenX leaders bring to AI transformation (that nobody's talking about)
🔹 How to assess your organization's AI readiness in 5 KEY AREAS
🔹 The 60-second AI Leadership Pulse Check to identify YOUR development priorities
🔹 Why GenX's "healthy skepticism" protects organizations from expensive AI disasters
🔹 How resilience connects to sustainable AI leadership

💡 THE TRUTH BOMB:
GenX is the ONLY generation that learned to type on typewriters AND code in Python. We built careers with fax machines AND Slack. We're not dinosaurs or digital natives—we're INTERPRETERS. And the AI revolution needs bridge builders, not just button pushers.

🎬 THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
✅ You're a GenX leader feeling overlooked in digital transformation conversations
✅ You're struggling to assess your organization's true AI readiness
✅ You need leaders who understand both human needs AND tech capabilities
✅ You want practical frameworks, not just hype
