Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of handling tasks once reserved for people. Dwight Clarke believes that shift raises a more personal question for leaders and professionals: What becomes more valuable when technology can do more of the work?
His answer is authenticity.
“AI is now requiring ‘Radical Humanity,’ aka AUTHENTICITY,” says Clarke, an executive coach with more than 30 years of experience across multiple industries.
In spring 2027, Clarke will explore that idea in a decidedly human setting. Through Dwight Clarke Professional Services, he plans to host a curated three-day mastermind experience in Negril, Jamaica, built around stepping away from routine and creating room for greater clarity.
The event connects a contemporary professional challenge with a vision Clarke has carried since childhood.
Making Room for the Human Side of Leadership
Clarke’s interest in authenticity was shaped long before the current wave of artificial intelligence.
During three decades in corporate human resources, he watched people manage careers while simultaneously carrying the responsibilities of leadership, family and personal life. He also witnessed burnout and the consequences of spending too much time moving from one obligation to another without a meaningful reset.
Those experiences eventually became part of his work as an executive coach and thought leader focused on authenticity, resilience and clarity.
Technology has given the conversation another layer.
For Clarke, the increasing presence of AI does not make human qualities less relevant. It makes them harder to ignore. Authentic communication, self-awareness and the ability to connect meaningfully with other people carry a different weight when so much routine work can be accelerated or automated.
That is where his idea of “Radical Humanity” enters the picture.
A Mastermind Away From the Usual Noise
The Negril gathering is being designed as a three-day break from the roles participants normally carry.
Clarke describes those roles as the various “hats” people wear. Professional. Leader. Parent. Partner. Caregiver. Problem solver. The labels vary, but the effect can be similar: people become so accustomed to responding to responsibilities that they have little uninterrupted time to consider who they are beneath them.
Negril provides a natural contrast.
Its Seven Mile Beach is internationally known, but Clarke’s connection to Jamaica runs deeper than its appeal as a destination. He grew up on the island and has carried a vision since childhood of creating something meaningful there.
Hosting the mastermind in 2027 brings that vision together with the work he has spent decades developing.
Returning to Something Real
Clarke is not presenting three days away as an escape from responsibility. The point is to return to those responsibilities differently.
That distinction matters.
His experience in HR taught him how easily people can continue functioning while depleted. His coaching work has since focused on helping people find the clarity to examine those patterns before they become permanent.
Against the backdrop of rapid technological change, Clarke’s message feels particularly timely. Machines may continue becoming more capable. His attention is on what people should preserve as that happens.
For him, the answer begins with being authentically human.
