What if AI adoption isn’t a tech problem, but a trust-and-teams problem? In this conversation, Maude Pittet Nazareno shares what she’s learned from training frontline negotiators on pressure management and supporting organizations with AI-enabled workflow transformation. We explore why “prompt hygiene” matters, how AI can amplify (worsen) existing team tensions, and what it looks like to adopt AI in ways that support (not erode) human connection.


In this episode, we cover:

  • What “embodying change” looks like when you’re under pressure (head, heart, and body)
  • Why coping strategies can be “partial,” and how to expand your internal and external resources
  • What NLP is (in plain language) and why it shows up in pressure management work
  • The surprising result from a pilot: why self-paced AI training lowered trust and team coaching raised it
  • Why AI adoption often amplifies existing organizational problems (data mess, team tension, outdated processes)
  • What AI-enabled workflows actually mean (beyond “ChatGPT for emails”)
  • Practical AI literacy: how LLMs work, how to prompt, and how to avoid bias in prompts
  • “Prompt hygiene” for shared team threads (and how to ask AI what assumptions it’s making)
  • How Colaborix’s AI Café creates a space for teams to learn from each other
  • Details on the AI Champion Accelerator + how to join with a listener discount
