As a data leader, do you catch yourself asking questions like…- How do I get execs to actually act on my insights instead of tuning out?- How do I influence peers in Product, Ops, and Marketing when they don’t report to me? - How can I build credibility around AI adoption without just demoing tools?- How do I stop my team from being seen as a “ticket shop” and instead as a trusted partner?If you’re not confident about these, this course is for you. This is a hands-on leadership course designed for emerging data leaders, analytics managers, data science managers, and heads of data who want to grow from technical doers into visible, trusted, AI-ready leaders.Before this course, you may feel:- Stuck explaining numbers that don’t lead to action.- Anxious that AI will outpace your team or make your work irrelevant.- Reactive to hype or resistance, rather than steering the narrative.After this course, you’ll:- Turn “data dumps” into compelling stories that executives repeat in the boardroom.- Translate AI pilots into credible business cases that prove ROI, reduce fear, and win support.- Lead your team confidently through change, balancing optimism with realism.

Folks who are early in their career, focused only on technical execution, or looking to break into data/analytics should not enroll.

This course is NOT FOR everyone

It is designed for data managers, analytics leads, and heads of data already managing teams and facing leadership challenges.

This is NOT a beginner-level technical course

Overlooked Data Manager delivering dashboards but dismissed in strategy conversations, eager to be trusted for impact.

Stretched Head of Data managing 5-15 people, stuck firefighting, and needing systems to show control and credibility.

Aspiring AI-Ready Data leader, newly promoted from IC, strong technically but lacking storytelling and executive presence.

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

You lead teams, drive decisions, and know your numbers. But knowing the data and getting people to act on it are two completely different skills and nobody taught you the second one.You've built the case. Pulled the metrics. Walked into the room confident. Then your team pushes back. Leadership asks why this over everything else. A stakeholder who hasn't looked at the data derails the whole conversation. And somehow a competing priority with weaker data but a slicker narrative wins the quarter.Managers and leaders sit in one of the hardest positions in any organization. You have influence but not authority. You can't mandate decisions — you have to earn them. Every headcount ask, every strategic initiative, every exec review is won or lost on how well you frame what the data means and why it matters right now.This workshop teaches you exactly that. How to build narratives that make your team believe in the direction, executives approve the investment, and stakeholders align behind the vision — not because you overwhelmed them with data, but because you made them feel the urgency of it first.Your data is already good enough. It just deserves a better story.

The PM in a Data-Driven Org Everyone in your org has dashboards. The differentiator isn't the data but who tells better story with data.

The Data-Strong Manager: You think in numbers but get told you're "too in the weeds." . You need to make data human, not just accurate.

The Change Agent: You have a vision, the data to back it, and a room full of skeptics. You need a story to challenge the status quo.
