What if you could create your own board of directors—made up of the world’s greatest business minds—without ever inviting them to a meeting? That’s the bold idea Carolyn Lowe, CEO of ROI Swift and author of Business Growth Do’s and Absolute Don’ts, shares in this episode of Women Leaders on the Move.
Hosted by Natalie Benamou, Founder of HerCsuite®, this conversation is designed for entrepreneurs, executive women, and business leaders navigating growth, leadership, and portfolio careers. Together, they explore how AI is reshaping leadership strategy, customer insights, and company culture.
As Carolyn explains, “The most important thing leaders can do is step out of the day-to-day and ask, what will this look like three years from now?”
5 Key Takeaways
- How AI can serve as your strategic advisor and uncover blind spots before they cost you.
- The lessons Carolyn learned helping 200+ consumer brands grow, including what not to do.
- Why thinking 10X bigger can sometimes be easier than doubling your business.
- The critical role of team culture—and why removing toxic talent is a non-negotiable.
- How entrepreneurs can position products for real growth on platforms like Amazon.
Action Step for Senior Leaders
Create your own “AI Board of Directors.” Choose three leaders you admire—past or present—and use AI to simulate how they might advise you on your current challenge. This exercise gives entrepreneurs and executives a new way to generate ideas, pressure-test decisions, and think like the leaders who inspire you.
Keep shining your light bright. The World needs You!
