I am author of the recently published best-selling book The Generalist Advantage: Preparing Leaders for the AI Era. (https://www.amazon.com/Generalist-Advantage-Framework-Potential-Generalists/dp/1394276400/)

I’ve taught leadership, strategy, and innovation at leading business schools, and one truth keeps showing up: being brilliant at one thing is no longer enough.

The world of work now demands leaders who can connect the dots, think across domains, and adapt quickly. While specialists build deep expertise, generalists create breadth, perspective, and leadership impact.

If you want to move beyond being 'the best coder' or 'the go-to tech person' into a role where you influence strategy, innovation, and people—you need to embrace the generalist mindset.

This intensive power-packed course is designed to guide ambitious and busy professionals through this critical career shift.

You’ll learn how to expand your range by going beyond your depth, explore the leadership hacks that accelerate growth, and design your personal roadmap to thrive as a generalist leader.

The course is thoughtfully designed into 4 modules, delivered through 2 days of live sessions.
