The Empathy Algorithm

Explore why empathy, listening and emotional intelligence are becoming competitive advantages for leaders in the age of Al. What becomes more valuable when intelligence is no longer scarce? Join us at the stunning Lightning Society in SoHo for an evening with Mimi Nicklin, recognized as the #1 Empathy Speaker in the U.S. in 2026, global authority on Listening-Led Leadership, author of Empathy at Work, and founder of Empathy Everywhere. As Al rapidly transforms how we work, lead, and compete, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: the future isn't Artificial Intelligence or Human Intelligence. It's both. In this interactive keynote, Mimi explores why empathy, deep listening and emotional intelligence are becoming business-critical leadership capabilities and how leaders can use them to strengthen human connection while harnessing the extraordinary potential of Al. Drawing on neuroscience, global case studies, and real-world leadership insights, Mimi will challenge conventional thinking about empathy and reveal its role in building stronger cultures, unlocking innovation, and driving sustainable business growth. Come prepared to rethink what great leadership looks like in the age of Al, and what will distinguish the leaders and organizations that thrive. Ticket price includes food and wine.
