Cohort 1

Something has shifted - and most leaders are wondering what it means for them: Management layers are shrinking. The bar for team leaders is rising. And this is especially acute for leaders who have been in their role for a while without standing out OR for leaders navigating new contexts (new role, org, or leader).What does it take to be indispensable? After 18+ years in calibration rooms, I've codified the skills that separate leaders whom organizations fight to keep from everyone else.I call this the Leadership Operating system and it includes three critical types of acumen:<ul><li>Business acumen to understand what matters and adapt as priorities shift</li><li>Organizational acumen to build influence and reputation with stakeholders that matter (including the most critical one — your manager)</li><li>Leadership acumen to deploy your energy smartly and bring out the best in your team</li></ul>Across 4 sessions, you will walk away with frameworks and exercises to build these muscles WHILE applying them immediately to your own work context.You'll leave with clarity on what matters, who matters, and how to become the leader your company can't afford to lose.Live sessions: 9-12 PT on Apr 18, May 9, May 23 and Jun 6

What Actually Separates Indispensable Team Leaders from Everyone Else

Build business acumen AND stay adaptive as context shifts around you

Prioritize: Reset or sharpen your team's priorities to maximize business impact

Optimize stakeholder partnerships: Drive alignment, influence, and reputation

Manage your manager: Maximize value to and from your most critical stakeholder

Activate impact: Deploy yourself strategically to elevate outcomes that matter

Become a talent magnet: Build a reputation that attracts and retains top talent

This course is designed for people managers leading teams, not individual contributors without direct reports.

You manage a team with direct reports

Expect real work: Conversations with stakeholders and synthesizing insights into templates to apply concepts to your actual context

You're willing to do the work between sessions

This isn't for leaders already thriving at the top. It's for those who see room to level up—and are ready to do the work.

You believe you have room to grow, and WANT to

Ready to Break Out: Team leaders doing the work, getting decent feedback, still getting passed over. Become the one they'd fight to keep.

Experienced Leader, New Context: New team, manager or org structures around you? Reset and prove impact in unfamiliar territory.

Finding Your Footing: Newer team leader? The window to prove yourself is shorter than you think. Build credibility and win fast.

After completing this course, you’ll move from being “told to lead AI” to leading with clarity, credibility, and results.

Executives and managers are being asked to “have an AI strategy” without clear definitions, approve tools and pilots without confidence they’ll deliver value, balance innovation with risk and governance, and explain AI decisions to boards, auditors, and stakeholders, all without breaking trust or the budget.This course shows you how to lead through that ambiguity.You’ll learn how to define AI strategy in terms executives and boards actually care about, decide where AI should not be used before problems arise, right-size talent without overhiring or creating bottlenecks, evaluate tools objectively without becoming dependent on vendors, and choose projects that can survive procurement, politics, and operational reality. You’ll also learn how to communicate AI clearly, when the stakes are high and scrutiny is real.By the end of five weeks, you’ll have an executive-ready AI strategy, a practical roadmap, and a clear briefing you can use immediately.This course is built for leaders who are done with pilot purgatory, shiny tools with unclear ROI, and strategy decks that collapse at implementation. If you’re responsible for AI outcomes, this course will give you the confidence to deliver.

Responsible AI is no longer a niche topic, it’s on the agenda of regulators, boards, and business leaders everywhere. In 2024 alone, governments worldwide issued more than twice as many AI-related regulations as the year before. Add to that more than 80 frameworks, countless checklists, and a steady stream of new tools, and the field quickly feels overwhelming. The real challenge isn’t whether AI should be used responsibly; it’s knowing where to begin. 🎯This course brings you back to the foundations: cutting through the noise, grounding you in what matters, and giving you a clear path forward.Here is detailed breakout of the course:🟩 Week 1: Power Session | Responsible AI PrimerA focused 3-hour session that cuts through the noise and gives you a practical overview of Responsible AI governance.🟩 Week 2: Mentoring &amp; Application | RAI Lab<blockquote>In the second week, you’ll have up to three hours of 1-to-1 mentoring to apply the tools directly to your own context. This may include building a governance checklist, evaluating a vendor, or stress-testing a project plan. The goal is for you to walk away with a concrete, business-ready action plan tailored to your organisation.</blockquote>

When I was Microsoft's U.S. AI Strategy Lead, it was my job to help F500 C-suite leaders create a strategy for how they would use AI. I quickly learned that there were four major gaps in most academic and on-the-job training:1. No resources for creating a vision2. The process for strategy was too convoluted3. Systems thinking was missing or too impractical4. Storytelling was seen as a nice-to-haveBeing a former internationally competitive and multi-state champion chess player, I dug into the literature on vision, strategy, systems thinking, and storytelling. I interviewed over 50 C-suite executives, thought leaders, including luminaries such as Seth Godin, Roger Martin, etc.I combined everything that could be practically applied and developed new frameworks to address key gaps to create a new system: Future Solving™Future Solving™ has since been adopted by dozens of Fortune 500 companies and thousands of leaders. Over $20B has been architected on the Future Solving™ frameworks, and this work has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, etc.Now I'm sharing the blueprint with you.“Future Solving will be the foundation of the next reinvention of our company.” - CLO, Fortune 10 company
