Sabrina K. Garba Honored as A Woman Who Disrupts by LADY Rebranded + City National Bank
Glass Ladder Group is excited to announce that Founder and CEO, Sabrina K. Garba is being honored as a 'Woman Who Disrupts' by LADY Rebranded in partnership with City National Bank.
A Letter from the Founder: Glass Ladder Group's "Why"
Lately, I have been pretty obsessed with the concept of "Why". Though this isn't a new concept to me, I have found myself asking the question, more often than ever before. I am also known for asking questions like, "to what end," or, "who cares." Although those questions are very powerful tools for motivating others and driving success there is something about "why" that gets to the core of not just the thing being done, but also the person who is doing it.
Are You a Hawk or an Eagle?
Since I can remember people have made remarks about my ambition. I've heard everything from, "how does she have so much energy," to, "if you don't be careful you are going to burn yourself out." What I have realized is that people who made comments about my "hyper-active" search for success may have failed to realize one thing, I am an eagle. Being an Eagle has helped me tremendously as a communications professional.
Tackling Uncertainty Like a PR Pro
When you are in your 20s, the same question seems to come up over and over and over again. "What's next?" If you are anything like me this is usually followed by hyperventilation and nostalgia for the days when your biggest problem was figuring out who to take to prom.
Welp, those days are over ladies and gentlemen. Grab a brown paper bag and breathe! It’s time to face that fearful question head on.
Kerry Washington: An International Advocate
Today about 8 million people are preparing themselves for the excitement that comes with Scandal Thursday. Post on Twitter and Facebook with speculation on who "the mole" is are flying rampantly. I on the other hand cannot stop thinking about Kerry Washington. Yes, I mean the actual Kerry Washington, not Olivia Pope (who I am also in love with, like so many others).
The rise of artificial intelligence isn’t just changing tools, it’s reshaping the workforce. We’re entering the age of agentrification, a term used to describe the replacement of human workers with AI agents across knowledge-based and managerial roles. This shift is faster and deeper than previous automation waves, and it’s already impacting global employment systems.
According to the World Economic Forum, an estimated 92 million existing roles will disappear over the next five years. While 170 million new roles are projected to emerge, this disruption doesn’t come with a built-in safety net. In fact, 41% of employers globally report plans to reduce their workforce as AI automates key tasks.
For leaders, this isn’t just a technical challenge, it’s a cultural reckoning.
At Glass Ladder Group, we’re helping institutions confront this moment with clarity and compassion. Because how you integrate AI, who is trained, who is displaced, and how you communicate it, will shape your legacy and your workforce for decades to come.
