  • Your Board's AI Strategy May be Falling Short with Beth Grimm, Founder & Principal, Beth Grimm Leadership Consulting
    Dec 31 2025

    How prepared is your board for the speed of change with AI?


    There is no single AI tool that works across an organization. Employees may already be experimenting with non-sanctioned AI LLMs, often without leadership visibility or governance oversight.

    Listen in as host Natalie Benamou is joined by Beth Grimm, an AI Governance and Risk Expert. Beth has extensive experience in life sciences, quality, and risk management. She brings a practical, grounded perspective on what boards and senior leaders need to understand about AI literacy, oversight, and accountability as adoption accelerates.


    Together, they discuss why AI governance is about enabling growth while managing risk. From defining use cases before selecting platforms to recognizing where exposure shows up when employees adopt tools informally, this conversation ties AI decisions directly to board oversight, trust, and long-term value creation.

    This episode is essential listening for board members, executives, and leaders navigating AI decisions that carry long-term strategic and fiduciary impact.


    3 Key Takeaways:

    • AI strategy begins with the problem, not the tool
    • Leaders must define use cases, business outcomes, and KPIs before selecting platforms or signing enterprise contracts.
    • AI governance cannot sit with one person


    Effective oversight requires cross-functional champions across legal, IT, business, HR, and risk, not a single owner working in isolation.

    • Oversight is continuous, not one-and-done
    • AI systems require ongoing human review, monitoring, and ROI measurement to ensure they behave as intended and deliver value.

    You are invited to attend Assessing and Building Trust in Unregulated AI World.

  • Amplify the One Thing That’s Calling You Forward with Natalie Benamou, Founder, HerCsuite®
    Dec 24 2025
    Are you feeling pushed by responsibility or being pulled toward possibilities?Today is a special episode just for you. It is all about personal reflection on gratitude, growth, and the quiet signals that guide us to decide what comes next. From a meaningful “take your mom to work” experience to moments of physical and emotional endurance, this is an invitation to pause and notice what’s been tugging at your heart.A Proud Mom Moment Recently, I joined my daughter at Define Private Training, where she is a lead instructor. Watching her lead a program built around individualized goals lights me up.Here are 3 Leadership Lessons I learned from watching her:Leadership starts with planning: Thoughtful preparation creates a better experience for everyone.The best leaders exemplify empathy: Being aware, reading strengths, and meeting each woman exactly where she is creates progress.Great facilitators make it feel effortless: Coaching form, managing energy, and keeping the room connected is what seasoned facilitators do.Personal note: I learned that saving the 135-pound sled push for my last exercise may not have been my smartest strategy, but finishing it left me feeling exhilarated!As the year comes to a close, many of us find ourselves looking for the one thing to amplify and push us forward. Today I explore:The difference between being pushed by obligation and pulled by purposeWhy thoughtful preparation and empathy remain essential leadership strengthsHow great facilitators make hard things feel possibleThe importance of releasing what no longer fits, even when you’re capable of itA simple Love, Like, Capable exercise to help regain alignmentWhy learning, curiosity, and experimentation often live in the love columnHow community, especially women supporting women, changes everythingI also share reflections on resilience, personal health journeys, and the importance of keeping our windshield bigger than our rearview mirror as we move into a new season.As we head into the new year, I am so grateful to the HerCsuite® Community and the clarity we found for HER HEALTHX poised to make a huge impact on women’s health outcomes. On a personal note, my heart is overflowing with gratitude that our oldest daughter’s health was finally diagnosed. She is now living on her own (after 4 years of being bed ridden) and my youngest daughter is leading women and beyond her years and it is a gift to see them grow.This episode is dedicated especially to you, all around the world who are tuning in. I want you to know how much I appreciate you, that you are valued and you matter. May you finish the year with peace and carry joy with you into the new year.

  • Why Today's Top Executives Lead as Equals with Selena Rezvani, President, NextGenWomen LLC
    Dec 17 2025
    What do leaders do differently to create participation, ownership, and trust?In this episode of Women Leaders on the Move, Selena Rezvani, President, NextGenWomen LLC sits down with host Natalie Benamou to talk about how leaders shape their teams through everyday actions. This conversation focuses on what leaders say, how they listen, and what they do to involve others in the work.Selena shares examples from her bestselling book, ‘Quick Leadership: Build Trust, Navigate Change, and Cultivate Unstoppable Teams’ and from her work inside organizations. Together, Natalie and Selena discuss how meetings are run, how responsibility is shared, and how leaders influence engagement by inviting people into the process.This episode is for leaders who want their teams to participate, contribute, and lead as equals3 Takeaways from ‘Quick Leadership’:Leaders invite participation early. When people are included from the start, they stay engaged and contribute more consistently.Leaders ask before they answer. Pausing to hear others builds ownership and strengthens accountability.Leaders share responsibility. Giving others a role in leading meetings and decisions creates confidence and momentum.Memorable quotes from Selena Rezvani“If your meetings are silent, your people are managing you.”“It’s not your job to have all the answers.”“Leadership shows up in small, everyday moments.”Try This One Thing: The "First 5 Minutes" RuleThe Insight: If people are silent at the start of a meeting, they often stay silent until the end. Selena shares that research shows if someone speaks in the first 5 minutes, they are significantly more likely to contribute later.The Action: Open your next meeting by asking everyone to answer a simple, low-stakes prompt before you dive into the agenda.What to Say: "Everyone, we’re here to talk about [Topic] today. Before we start, I want to hear from each of you: What is one word that comes to mind when you think of [Topic]?"Why It Works: It breaks the "lecture" dynamic immediately and signals that this is a space for participation, not just listening.Keep shining your light bright. The world needs you.About the GuestSelena Rezvani helps people show up, speak up, and shake up the way work gets done. A Wall Street Journal bestselling author and LinkedIn Learning instructor, Forbes named her "the premier expert on standing up for yourself at work."She equips leaders to build confidence and cultures that lift everyone’s voice.
