358: Leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) as Your Strategic Partner and Coach with Alysia Silberg

If you’ve listened to the recent episodes we’ve done on thought leadership, you know that I’ve been working this year on positioning myself as a thought leader in the AI space.

I want to make sure there are lots of women talking about and being heard on this topic because this technology is going to have a huge impact on our society.

This episode and the next one are with women who are thought leaders in AI.

Whether you’re into AI (artificial intelligence) or not, you’re going to LOVE this conversation.

My guest today is Alysia Silberg, a UN Women Empower Women Global Champion, CEO of Street Global venture capital firm, an AI expert, and author of a recent memoir.

Alysia isn't only an entrepreneur; she's a visionary who sees AI not just as a tool but as a strategic coach and partner in business and life.

In this episode, Alysia and I talk about:

• The transformative potential of using AI in your own business and personal development
• Specific examples of how Alysia leverages AI as a strategic asset, guiding her decision making and sharpening her competitive edge
• Using AI to create a more equitable and inclusive world
• The power of storytelling: how Alysia sharing her story in her memoir set her free
• Alysia’s advocacy for more women in the field of AI, and how she believes diversity can lead to more innovative and ethical AI solutions
• Alysia’s strategies for building a strong personal brand and powerful network
• Her speaking experiences and tips

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
