Your team trusts ChatGPT more than they trust you.

Research shows workers are turning to AI for help instead of asking colleagues—not because AI is more capable, but because AI doesn't judge them, won't report their struggles, and doesn't compete with them.

Real quote from Reddit:
*"I trust AI more than my colleagues. AI doesn't judge me for not knowing something. And it won't tell my manager I'm struggling."*

This is what a trust collapse looks like.

In this episode:

✅ Why trust collapsed (and it's not because of AI)
✅ The neuroscience of oxytocin vs threat response
✅ What dead psychological safety costs you (knowledge hoarding, Shadow AI explosion, lost human capability)
✅ The Three Zones framework for rebuilding trust
✅ Why vulnerability must be regulated not performative
✅ What "Zone 3 Fridays" are and why they work

1. Why do employees trust AI more than their colleagues?
2. What does it mean when your team trusts ChatGPT more than you?
3. How did leadership create the AI trust collapse?
4. What is psychological safety in AI transformation?
5. How do executives rebuild trust when AI has replaced it?
6. What are the Three Zones of human-AI trust?

Google's Project Aristotle: Psychological safety is the #1 predictor of high-performing teams.

When it's dead, people trust machines over humans.

If your AI transformation feels chaotic, reactive, or stuck—let's talk.

Season 4 of AI Café Conversations starts today. And we're starting with what nobody names.

FOBO isn't just a workforce problem. It's an executive crisis.
The Fear of Becoming Obsolete isn't just a workforce problem. It's an executive crisis. And leading through it while hiding it is making everything worse

49% of CEOs believe AI could replace core aspects of their own role. (Investopedia)
50% believe their job stability depends on getting AI right. (BCG)
71% admit imposter syndrome. (Korn Ferry)

And these executives are expected to lead their organizations through the exact fear they're privately experiencing.

One anonymous CEO said: "I spend my time testing tools that could do my job faster, leaving me questioning if I'm the reason progress is slowing."

In this episode you'll discover:

✅ Do executives experience FOBO?
✅ What percentage of CEOs fear AI will replace them?
✅ How does executive FOBO affect organizational performance?

✅ What is the double crisis of executive FOBO? that nobody names
✅ What's happening neurologically when you hide fear while performing confidence
✅ Why hiding your FOBO is transmitting it to your entire organization
✅ What regulated executives do that dysregulated executives don't
✅ What is the neuroscience behind executive fear of becoming obsolete?

✅ How do regulated executives lead through FOBO?

You cannot lead your organization through FOBO from a dysregulated state.

Regulation comes first. Season 4 starts here.

This is the Season 3 finale of AI Café Conversations.

I've spent 12 episodes teaching you about nervous system regulation, why leaders freeze, how to build psychological safety, why transformations fail, what the human advantage is, and what the top 1% know.

But here's what I didn't tell you.

The truth I was terrified to say while creating Season 3.

The vulnerability I resisted because it could cost me consulting contracts.

The pattern that emerged not from working with executives, but from working on myself.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

✅ What I was terrified to admit (and why)
✅ What creating 13 episodes taught me about my own nervous system
✅ The truth no consultant will say out loud (but we all know)
✅ Where I was performing instead of leading
✅ What changed when I finally stopped pretending
✅ The BOOM: What 2026 is actually about (and it's not what you think)

This is the Season 3 finale. Personal. Vulnerable. True.

And it ends with a challenge.

If your AI transformation feels chaotic, reactive, or stuck—let's talk.
