Meet Brandy Schade, founder of Strengthology, as she joins Pixels & Priorities to explore AI uncertainty, strengths-based leadership, resilience, and helping product and UX teams navigate change.

Brandy Schade brings a strengths-based perspective to leadership, organizational transformation, and navigating uncertainty. As the founder of Strengthology and a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, she helps individuals and teams better understand their natural talents, motivations, and approaches to collaboration.

Together, they examine why people respond differently to uncertainty, how leaders can support meaningful AI upskilling, and why adaptability and resilience matter for product managers, UX designers, and modern digital teams.
