S7E8: Workplace Etiquette: The Leadership Skill AI Can't Replace w/ Trina Boos
In a world obsessed with automation and efficiency, there’s one leadership skill AI will never replicate: the ability to build meaningful human connections.
In this episode, we sit down with Trina Boos, Founder and CEO of Boost Academy of Excellence, to explore why workplace etiquette, emotional intelligence, and communication are more critical than ever in today’s hybrid and AI-driven world. Drawing from her extensive experience in marketing, digital, and creative industries — as well as her leadership roles at Boost Agents and Ad Lounge — Trina shares practical insights on developing professional presence, fostering trust, and navigating generational differences in the workplace.
We dive into the “Others Focused” framework, the growing knowledge transfer gap, and how leaders can bridge the divide between generations while staying authentic and adaptable.
If you’ve ever wondered what truly sets great leaders apart — or how to future-proof your career against AI — this episode offers thoughtful, actionable answers.
