At the same time, she sees a strong need for orientation within companies. People are not only looking for knowledge but are also trying to understand what these uncertain developments mean for them, professionally and personally. One recurring theme in Andrea’s work is the fear of job loss when AI is used efficiently. This fear can be paralysing; when people feel they are being replaced, they disengage. That is why professional development today must go beyond technical instruction and now help individuals see the role they can play in an AI-shaped workplace – and support them in actively shaping that role. This challenge also affects leaders, who are expected to provide clarity and stability, especially during times of change. Yet, in the context of AI, certainty is elusive. No one can reliably predict how technologies or markets will evolve. Andrea’s work often involves helping leaders navigate this tension: balancing the pressure to provide answers with the reality of leading through uncertainty. She also notes that traditional training formats are no longer enough. PowerPoint and theory don’t embed new ways of thinking, and participants now need learning spaces rooted in real-world situations, with practical use cases, clear links to daily work, and room for questions, experimentation, and ambiguity. If Andrea’s approach is sometimes unconventional or does not follow the classic seminar format, that is intentional; it is designed to make change feel possible, and to help people feel safe and effective as they move through it. At the heart of this all is a simple truth: these developments are, ultimately, about humans, about people. Technology may accelerate and simplify many aspects of work, but it cannot replace the human need for trust, purpose, and collaboration. For this reason, Andrea’s work focuses not only on the technical side of AI, but also on culture, responsibility, and how we want to work together in the future. Her goal is to create spaces where people can find direction, enjoy the process, experiment, shape change, and experience their own impact. “I see the coming years as an invitation to rethink and redesign many things,” she shared. “Leadership, collaboration, and development will not transform overnight, but they will evolve. Those who are willing to let go of old patterns, ask bold questions, and explore new paths will not only keep up but actively shape what comes next. That is where I want to support: with honest coaching, practical training, and the courage to step into new territory together.” 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Andrea, with many plans underway for me. | Consulting. One of her main goals is to further develop the Marketing Intelligence programme, designed for leaders working with small teams who want to make their marketing more efficient, data-driven, and strategic. The focus will be on the ways in which humans and AI can work together to make better decisions and use resources more deliberately. At the same time, Andrea is creating a new programme centred on leadership and transformation. The pace of change in the workplace is accelerating and, as a result, traditional leadership models are increasingly hitting their limits. In this space, Andrea is particularly interested in what leadership will look like once teams consist not only of people, but of people and AI systems working together. She is convinced that this will become the new standard, with those in leadership roles being required to shape this collaboration, build trust, and redefine roles. “My role is to prepare leaders and teams for a future that cannot be planned down to the last detail, and to help them develop the thinking and decision-making tools they need from within,” Andrea concluded. “I cannot say exactly where this journey will lead, but I know it will be worth it. Those who are willing to continually adapt will remain capable of acting, no matter what technologies the future brings.”
