Micro-Journaling for Motivation, Focus, and Resilience

Target Audience: For women who feel mentally “on” all day but still struggle with friction and want to strengthen daily agency: clearer priorities, faster re-entry into deep work, and less anxiety/rumination.

Speaker Information: Áine Kmen is the founder of JournalingFix. She spent the last decade in various roles inside early-stage teams and consulting for startups across the US, EU, and Brazil, gaining firsthand understanding of founding team pressure, cognitive overload, rapid decision cycles, and the mental demands of building a startup. Earlier career work with the Jane Goodall Institute and other national nonprofits taught her how to connect with audiences - from small, intimate groups to events of thousands.

Although she taught journaling workshops for years as a side passion, her interest deepened during a period of chronic health challenges. After using structured writing techniques that had a powerful impact on resolving her symptoms, she began a deep dive into the research behind why they worked and how else we could use journaling to improve our lives.

JournalingFix teaches micro-journaling techniques to train attention, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim original thinking. Modules and other resources are available online and through a weekly newsletter, and Áine provides in-person and virtual workshops and presentations.

AI is reshaping how organizations source, screen, and select talent — but speed and efficiency aren't the same as good judgment. In this fireside chat, AI strategist Lyndsay Sanborn joins PowertoFly for a candid conversation about what responsible AI adoption actually requires from talent leaders.

Lyndsay brings something rare to this conversation: 25 years inside mission-driven organizations, combined with deep expertise in AI governance and human-centered strategy. She works with leaders who can't afford to get AI wrong — and she's built the frameworks to help them get it right.

From bias embedded in screening tools to the governance gaps most hiring teams don't know they have, this conversation goes beyond the checklist. It's about building the leadership capacity to make values-driven decisions about AI — before a vendor, a deadline, or a headline makes them for you.

You'll walk away with:

• A governance lens for evaluating AI tools in your hiring stack — not just features, but risk and accountability
• Lyndsay's AI Fit Test framework applied to common hiring use cases
• A model for keeping humans meaningfully in decision loops without slowing down your process
• The leadership questions you should be asking before your next AI procurement decision

This event will be eligible for SHRM credits also.

Meet The Speaker

Lyndsay Sanborn

AI strategist and founder of Frame + Forge AI Strategy Studio

Lyndsay Sanborn is an AI strategist and founder of Frame + Forge AI Strategy Studio, working at the intersection of AI and reproductive healthcare—one of the most ethically and legally complex spaces in tech. In a landscape where abortion is criminalized in much of the U.S., patient data can be subpoenaed, and historical harm has eroded trust, the stakes of AI are not theoretical—they are lived realities for the communities she serves.

Her work centers the core questions every technologist should confront: Who controls the data? How can it be used to harm? What does it mean to build for communities with justified distrust? Lyndsay has built her career addressing these challenges directly.

She created the Social Signal Pipeline, an AI system that detects reproductive health misinformation at scale across platforms like TikTok and YouTube, delivering clinician-ready insights to providers. She also developed an autonomous data verification agent to ensure Title X clinic data is accurate and accessible, and has designed AI governance frameworks within national reproductive health organizations.

Lyndsay holds Executive Certificates in AI Strategy, Leadership, and Product Innovation from MIT, training in Human-Centered Design from Stanford d.school, and a Master’s in Health Policy and Administration. She also publishes The Body Is the Interface, exploring AI, data governance, equity, and reproductive health.
