I love this focus.

The awareness that you need to be systematically developing the three pillars...technical, human-centric, and strategic...is the defining differentiator for the next decade of career success.

Thank you my friend! So glad this one resonated with you.

The development needs to take place across multiple capacities and locations for all of us. What I am inspired and encouraged by is the diversity of opportunity.

It made me think of watching someone learn to ride a bike on a gentle slope.

Once they feel the forward pull, confidence replaces hesitation, and the whole journey opens up.

In my coaching world, especially through the 5 Voices, people grow best when they understand how they naturally learn.

Nurturers learn through relationships and purpose.

Guardians learn through steady repetition.

Creatives learn through curiosity and space.

Connectors learn through conversation and story.

Pioneers learn through challenges that stretch them.

When a team understands this mix, upskilling becomes far smoother and far more enjoyable.

Wow! This is such a massive resource to create real change in our new Ai world.

It's crazy, although not really shocking, that only 13% of the leaders are actually taking action and embracing the transformation.

Looking forward to this little 6 week journey.

we really appreciate the human centered approach to using the tech for business, it's not often you see all three of these points together these days, human, business, and technology.

The public build should be fascinating.

It’s basically being cooked in to everything. We have some great tools but the internal push from leadership is impressive. We’ve had some projects that would have taken 14 months be done in 2.

yes, John! This is excellent, and crazy generous of you as well. The outline for this course is waaaaay better than many I see on Coursera or other MOOC platforms. I also love the tracker you have developed as a way for learners to meaningfully benchmark against their own development rather than some cookie cutter assessment. 🙏

The three pillar framwork makes perfect sense. I've seen too many professionals focus only on learning AI tools without developing the strategic thinking or human skills that make them actualy valuable. Your point about the 97% awareness vs 13% execution gap is eye opening.
