In Episode 6.4, Scott De Long and Vince Moiso examine the warrior mentality in leadership and question whether it remains relevant or should evolve. They discuss how determination, accountability, and passion can fuel performance when balanced with empathy and collaboration. Vince shares that his warrior mindset is about perseverance and effort, not domination. Scott agrees that drive and ownership matter, but warns that the win-at-all-costs mindset can harm culture and relationships if unchecked. They agree that great leaders fight alongside their teams, not above them. The warrior spirit should inspire commitment and resilience, tempered by compassion and humility. Key Takeaways Resilience and drive are essential, but empathy sustains leadership. The warrior mentality must evolve from control to collaboration. Leaders win by inspiring, not intimidating, their teams. Key Insights The modern warrior leads with love, not fear. Extreme ownership must be paired with humility and care. Toxic win-at-all-costs leadership is unsustainable. True warriors build trust through action and support. Adaptability separates effective warriors from rigid ones. Empathy transforms intensity into inspiration. Accountability should empower, not punish. A leader's warrior energy is best used to lift others. Passion and compassion are equally vital in leadership. Ask yourself: When does your warrior emerge, and does it serve your team?

In this episode of Lead With That, Ren and Allison discuss how organizations can shift from crisis reaction to collective sustainable adaptability in today's turbulent climate. The biggest challenge many leaders face is leading organizations through complex crisis and chaotic disruption. Whether faced with adapting to ever-changing circumstances, or the fallout from economic instability, leaders are juggling challenges that reactive behaviors and process pivots are unable to simply resolve. To ensure long-term success, organizations must rethink adaptability itself and adjust their leadership to address the needs of the future.  Read our insights on how organizations can shift their organization's culture, individual capacities, and collective capabilities to thrive amid disruption.    What to Explore Next:  Reinvention Through Disruption: Moving From Perpetual Crisis to Collective Adaptability - https://www.ccl.org/guides/perpetual-crisis-leadership-in-disruption/  Vertical vs. Horizontal Development - https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/developing-talent-youre-probably-missing-vertical-development/  Can You Identify Your Organization's Leadership Culture? - https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/whats-your-leadership-culture/     Related Solutions:  Leading Through Uncertainty- https://www.ccl.org/leadership-challenges/leadership-through-uncertainty/  Strategic Thinking Training for Leaders- https://www.ccl.org/leadership-solutions/leadership-topics/thinking-acting-strategically/   Organizational Culture- https://www.ccl.org/leadership-challenges/organizational-culture/  

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you ever felt like enterprise clients were running your agency instead of the other way around? Buried in endless proposals no one reads, forced into rushed timelines, or watching your margins shrink every time a project drags out? Today's featured guest opens up about how he broke out of that exhausting cycle. Instead of over-delivering just to keep big clients happy, and seeing little return, he made the bold decision to focus on smaller, more committed clients who were ultimately more profitable and easier to build long-term relationships with. He'll share what he learned about sustainable growth, including why productizing your services sounds great in theory but can actually become counterproductive when it only happens externally. He'll also explain the sales shift that changed everything: offering a low-risk, "foot-in-the-door" engagement that qualifies prospects, builds trust, and creates a smooth path into deeper service offerings. Charlie Clark is the founder of Minty Digital, a boutique SEO agency focused on travel and lifestyle brands that originally launched in Barcelona and now operates from London. In this conversation, he'll break down the mindset, systems, and strategy needed to stop chasing validation from big brands and instead build a business where profitability, alignment, and respect come first. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why mid-market clients deliver higher profits than enterprise. How internal productization increases efficiency by 3X. How clear pricing transforms the sales cycle. How AI forced a new level of adaptability in SEO agencies.

From Struggling Freelancer to Sustainable Agency Growth After a short stint in an agency at age 22, Charlie tried to go solo before realizing he didn't yet know how to grow a business. He assumed he could do it on his own and quickly learned he wasn't ready yet. Instead of quitting, he got a job as a Digital Marketing Manager, where he could make mistakes, learn operations, and understand what actually works inside a business. Moving to Barcelona created the perfect environment for momentum. His one-month stay turned into ten years after he landed several clients within weeks. His first retainer was €500 a month, which he laughs about now, but he admits it took years before he learned how to price correctly and move away from low-margin retainers. Those early years were full of trial and error, but the big breakthrough was realizing that charging more wasn't always the key to profit. Charging smarter was. Real Profit Lives in the Middle, Not the Top One of the strongest lessons Charlie learned was that bigger retainers did not equal bigger profit. Working with enterprise clients, he saw they could easily squeeze margins, the team would end up over-delivering, and on top of it all, payment terms were a nightmare. After years, he realized these clients often cost the agency money when the team over-delivered just to keep them happy. By contrast, the clients who had been with him since the early days, the ones paying between three and six thousand per month, were the most profitable and the most loyal. They bought the same deliverables. They stayed for years. And they matched the agency's internal processes beautifully. Once he realized this, he moved to intentionally pursuing that sweet spot. Not the five figure monthly retainers or the cut rate ones. The predictable, operationally aligned middle where the team can deliver consistently and profitably. For Charlie, this changed everything from sales cycle speed to team alignment to lifetime value. Internal Productization: The System that 3X Efficiency Many agencies think productization means selling rigid packages that make you look less strategic. Charlie took the opposite approach. Internally, his team adopted highly productized systems, templates, and SOPs. They knew exactly what to do for a three thousand dollar client versus a six thousand dollar one, and how much effort each one required. Externally, the offer still looked consultative and customized. Clients saw a broad range of what could be included, but the delivery stayed tight behind the scenes. This improved profitability, gave the team clarity, and dramatically sped up onboarding. The biggest win? It eliminated the "start from scratch every time" problem that slows agencies down and kills margins. How Clear Pricing Transforms the Sales Cycle Before productization, Charlie would spend hours on proposals that often got ghosted. Once he added transparent pricing, clear expectations, and prequalification to the website, the right clients were self-selecting before the call even happened. By the time he spoke with them, they understood the price and the structure. Now he closes clients on the call or even through a single WhatsApp message. This is the power of clarity. It shortens cycles, reduces friction, and saves enormous amounts of time for a lean team. However, transparent pricing attracts budget mismatches, so Jason recommends removing pricing from agency's websites and switching to triage calls and the Foot-In-The-Door model. At the end of the day, there are a thousand ways to create a better sales process. What matters is that it filters, qualifies, and positions you as the advisor. Why a Paid Discovery Offer Builds Trust and Prevents Ghosting Both Charlie and Jason agree that a small, paid upfront engagement solves the biggest challenge in agency sales. Trust. SEO agencies in particular fight an uphill battle here. The barrier to entry is low. There are thousands of one-person shops. Many prospects have been burned before. A small paid engagement builds confidence, shows value quickly, and prevents ghosting. The Foot-in-the-Door offer should be simple, done live with the client, and designed to build the relationship. Not overloaded with deliverables that overwhelm the client and make them feel uneducated. When done right, it leads naturally into a larger project and then a retainer. Charlie's Kickstart product functions the same way. For eight hundred dollars, clients get quick wins and clarity. It works because it gives prospects a safe way to test the relationship and because it positions the agency as a trusted advisor instead of a vendor chasing a proposal. How AI Forced a New Level of Adaptability in SEO Agencies Charlie admitted that two years ago he felt bored with SEO. Then AI exploded. Search interfaces changed. Clicks shifted. And suddenly the industry was moving faster than ever. For many agencies, this uncertainty created fear. For Charlie, it sparked energy. He leaned back in, started speaking at events, ran experiments on AI search, and brought a fresh curiosity back to himself and his team. He described the past year as a sink-or-swim moment for agencies. The ones who coasted struggled. The ones who adapted thrived. Lean teams with solid systems could move faster and deliver more value. In his words, being nimble is now a competitive advantage. Figuring out AI reignited his passion in the business but it was far too much to tackle alone. This is why agency owners should have a community to lean on to try to figure out changes in the industry. Your network will determine your speed of growth. Agency owners who surround themselves with peers sharing what works and what fails will survive the next wave of industry change. The ones who go alone will struggle.

The Adaptability Paradox: Political Inclusion and Constitutional Resilience (U Chicago Press, 2025) is a complex and important analysis of the American constitutional system, of the U.S. Constitution itself, and the way that pressures on that system have pushed and pulled on the institutions of government, federalism, and ultimately democracy. Stephen Skowronek, the Pelatiah Perit Professor of Political and Social Science at Yale University, continues his work and exploration of the viability of the constitutional system in the United States in this new book, following on the 2022 book: Phantoms of a Beleaguered Republic (with John Dearborn and Desmond King, Oxford University Press, 2022). Skowronek traces the shifts and adaptations of the constitutional system as it contended with waves of democratization, with the anti-bellum expansion of voting rights for all white men, to the post-Civil War period and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, through the advocacy at the turn of the 19th century for labor and gender reforms, and then the advent of the Administrative state in the middle of the 20th century, and finally through the Civil Rights/Women's Rights/Sexual Revolution/Disability Rights period of the 1960s and 1970s. Part of the argument is that the system itself adapted, becoming more democratic and inclusive with regard to particular groups while at the same time loosening up the constitutional system as a whole. Even with these democratic advances over the course of 250 years, each iterative cycle also tended to exclude other groups of citizens. This tension—with the extension of rights to groups who had been excluded, only to have other groups excluded to keep this ballast of the system—goes to the heart of the promise of democracy within this constitutional system. And we find ourselves with the Constitution under significant stress, with the growth and implementation of substantial presidentialism and an undue dependence on judicial supremacy, leaving the structures of the system potentially unmoored from the very document and ideas that created the system itself. This also gets at the apparent loss of consensus around the idea of the United States, the lack of a common vision of a great commercial republic, which was at the heart of the American Founding. Skowronek also notes that the U.S. Constitution is particularly inept at pursuing social justice, especially within the context of the common vision of a great commercial republic. The Adaptability Paradox is a vitally important book examining the current constitutional dismay in which we find ourselves and provides the historical and political paths that brought us here. We learn a great deal about the tensions between democracy and the American constitutional system—which have been at the heart of the U.S. system since the early days of the republic, but have become much more attenuated of late, with a general lack of consensus around the purpose of constitutional system itself.

Rob sits down with Brent Hobson, longtime Friends University women's soccer coach. Brent became a head coach at 24 and has spent nearly a decade shaping a program built on clarity, honest feedback, and team-first culture.They dig into what it actually takes to coach Gen Z, how to lead players who aren't getting the role they hoped for, and why self-evaluation is one of the most underrated tools in a coach's toolkit.Key ThemesCoaching a Generation Under Constant PressureBrent sees today's athletes as more visible, more individualized, and more influenced by social media. Instead of complaining about the shift, he explains how coaches can adapt and still build connected teams.Valuing Every AthleteBrent created the Garland Award, named after a former player who rarely played but shaped the program through character and commitment. It's the only award displayed in his office—and a reminder that contribution isn't limited to playing time.Honest Conversations About Role and RealityWhether it's the athlete who won't play much or the athlete upset about their role, Brent leans toward clarity over comfort. He outlines how to help players understand how they can still impact the team—and why these conversations require coaches, captains, and teammates working together.How 3D Coaching Changed His ApproachInitially skeptical, Brent now credits the 3D framework with helping him slow down, reflect, and rethink his relationship-building as a coach. It gave him a needed “renewal” in how he leads.What Administrators Need to HearEvaluations shouldn't be a hunt for mistakes. Brent urges ADs to look at the whole athlete experience and share what's going well—not just what needs work.Rapid-Fire HighlightsBook recommendation: Shoe Dog by Phil KnightFailure that shaped him: The challenging 2020 COVID seasonDefinition of success: Lasting relationships with players and alumniBest golf score: 73 at Cherry OaksNew habit: Listening more—to players, colleagues, and his kidsListen on: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-coaching-an-impactful-coaching-project-podcast/id1711128150 Spotify: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-coaching-an-impactful-coaching-project-podcast/id1711128150More resources at impactfulcoachingproject.com

John opens up about his early days in real estate, the tough lessons learned through market crashes, building and scaling brokerages, and how escaping "hero mode" transformed everything. He breaks down the exact mindset shifts, business models, and strategic frameworks agents must adopt if they want real freedom — not just another job disguised as a business. From hiring mistakes and bottlenecks to leadership identity and the future of AI-driven consumer behavior, this episode is a blueprint for any agent ready to scale with clarity, systems, and confidence. This is the episode that will challenge how you think — and change how you run your business.

You're Coachable, But Are You Truly Humble? You've been coachable your entire career. You take feedback, adjust your approach, read books, listen to podcasts, and implement what works. Yet being coachable doesn't automatically make you humble—and that gap may be costing you more than you realize. Nicolas Restrepo, Senior Vice President of Sales at World Emblem, shared on a recent Sales Gravy Podcast episode: “What advice would I give myself ten years ago? Be humble. There's a difference between being coachable and being humble.” Most sales leaders assume coachability covers everything. If you're open to learning, you're set—right? Not quite. The best sales leadership is built not only on willingness to learn, but on recognizing that your success was never yours alone. What Being Coachable Actually Means A coachable leader stays receptive. Feedback isn't a threat. Adjustments aren't a burden. You ask questions, try new techniques, and pivot when something stops working. Coachable leaders attend training sessions and apply what they learn. They don't cling to “the way we've always done it” when the market shifts. Adaptability is their baseline. But it's only half the picture. What Being Humble Actually Means Humility isn't self-deprecation. It's acknowledging the full story behind every win. Humble leaders recognize the customer service rep who handled tough calls, the operations team that pulled off a miracle to meet a deadline, and the mentor who guided them through a high-stakes negotiation. Humility shows up when leaders look at a win and say “we did that” instead of “I did that.” It changes the way you speak, how you coach, and how your team shows up around you. Why Sales Leaders Confuse the Two It's easy to blur the lines. Coachability requires some humility. You have to acknowledge you don't know everything. But it's possible to be coachable and still operate from ego. Some leaders take feedback on their discovery process while taking full credit for the deal. They embrace a new objection-handling framework but never acknowledge the people who supported the outcome. They accept coaching but keep score of how often they were right. Coachability grows your skills. Humility grows your people. The Risks of Only Having One Coachability without humility burns teams out. You may improve individually, but hoarding credit discourages collaboration. When that happens, reps start withholding help because they know their contribution won't be recognized. They stop sharing insights. They stop going the extra mile. Coachable-but-not-humble leaders also tend to ask for help too late. They'll accept advice when it arrives but rarely seek it out until they're underwater. Humility without coachability leads to stagnation. You may share credit generously and build strong relationships, but if you refuse to learn hard truths about your blind spots, your team stalls with you. Some leaders disguise resistance to growth as modesty, deflecting responsibility rather than owning the need for improvement. You need both. Where These Traits Show Up in Real Leadership Consider how coachability and humility show up in everyday situations: After a big win: Coachable leaders debrief to find the repeatable actions. Humble leaders publicly recognize who made the win possible. When something fails: Coachable leaders ask what they could have done differently. Humble leaders avoid placing blame on the team. During onboarding: Coachable leaders stay open to feedback from new hires about broken processes. Humble leaders acknowledge when a new rep brings a skill they don't have. In pipeline reviews: Coachable leaders adjust their forecast based on data. Humble leaders give credit to the rep who spotted a risk early. Why This Matters for Long-Term Sales Leadership Sales leadership is a long game. You're not just managing this quarter's number. You're shaping the culture that determines whether top performers stay or bolt. Coachability keeps you sharp. Humility keeps your team aligned. When both traits are active, people share ideas more freely because they know you'll listen. They fight for deals because their effort is seen. They stay through hard quarters because they trust you're not in it for personal glory. How to Develop Both Traits To strengthen coachability: Ask your team for feedback on your leadership and apply it. Work with a peer or mentor who will challenge you. Notice when you resist feedback and explore why. Read one sales leadership book per quarter and implement one idea. To strengthen humility: When talking about a win, name three people who contributed. Ask for help early instead of waiting until you're stuck. Start meetings by recognizing someone else's win. Pay attention to how often you use “I” versus “we.” Questions to challenge yourself: When I talk about a win, who gets credit? Do reps bring me ideas, or wait to be told what to do? Am I more focused on being right or being effective? When was the last time I publicly recognized someone? The Bottom Line Being coachable gets you in the room. Being humble keeps you there. You can study every methodology, attend every training session, and absorb every leadership book. But if the goal is proving how great you are instead of elevating how great your team can become, you're building on sand. The sales leaders who last, who build high-performing cultures and develop reps who grow into leaders, all understand one truth: success was never a solo act. Stay coachable so you keep growing. Stay humble so your team grows with you. Your people will feel the difference. So will your results. Being coachable and humble is just the start. Learn how to inspire your team, earn trust, and create a culture that drives results.

In this episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast, we dive into the nuances and challenges of the Executive Protection (EP) field. The discussion covers the importance of having a clear plan, the necessity of execution in business, and the distinction between W2 and 10-99 employment in EP. The guests share their personal experiences and the inherent instability in the industry due to client indecisiveness and financial hesitations. They emphasize the value of trust and persistence in building business relationships and highlight the benefits of running a boutique agency. The conversation also delves into generational differences in job satisfaction and the importance of process-oriented business strategies. Finally, they discuss the impact of networking events and the role of referrals in business growth.Key TakeawaysExecution is more important than ideas—success comes from acting, not just planning.Trust and relationships are foundational in business, but take time to build.The security/executive protection industry is challenging, with little stability and a need for constant hustle.Adaptability and having a clear plan are critical for business survival and growth.Most business growth comes from referrals and word of mouth, not just visibility.Notable Quotes"It all boils down to execution. The better you execute it or even just attempt to execute it, the easier it's gonna be.""Without the trust piece, you're just another company.""Business is hard. It's not for the faint of heart. Most of them fail in the first two years.""If I can save a veteran from committing suicide, it's worth it. And that's why I do what I do.""Trust doesn't come overnight."To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

I know I have.  But not many of us actually do it.  Let me introduce you to Jacqueline Das who at the age of 54 realized that her life no longer felt like hers. There was so much more that she wanted to do and experience so she made a bold midlife pivot  to leave everything and move across continents to Budapest to start over.      After moving, she took a full year “off” — no job, no safety net, just space to breathe, explore and re-center. She calls her gap year  the most transformative time of her life — giving her confidence, resilience and a renewed sense of identity.   In this episode we dig into what it means to step out of your comfort zone mid-life, learning  to trust yourself, and how to embrace the unknown as fertile ground for transformation.  We also talk about the gifts of getting out of you comfort zone and what she has gained from this experience: A broader worldview — immersing herself in a new culture, making friends, building community among people she initially didn't know and didn't speak the language. Adaptability and what she calls “FIO” — “Figure It Out” — skills that forced her to get resourceful and rise to unknown challenges.  A deep re-connection with self-belief, confidence, and freedom. As she says: “the more we get out of our comfort zones, the more confident and liberated we feel.” If you've ever asked, “Is this all there is?” or “What if I started over?” — this conversation may just give you the courage to try.

What does it take to build a top-performing growth equity firm in a market defined by hype cycles, capital oversupply, and shifting investor expectations?In this episode, host Linnea Jungnelius sits down with Brian Neider, Managing Partner at Lead Edge Capital, a $5B global growth equity firm behind category-defining companies like Toast, Spotify, Alibaba, and Duo Security. As one of the original builders of Lead Edge, Brian has spent two decades refining one of the most disciplined investing models in the industry — a framework rooted in focus, consistency, and an unrivaled network of 700+ operator LPs.From staying “militantly” true to your strike zone, to navigating the aftermath of the 2020–2021 capital cycle, to separating real AI traction from experimental noise, Brian breaks down what great investors and great firms do differently. For growth equity investors, founders, and anyone responsible for capital allocation, this conversation reveals why discipline compounds, how strategy integrity drives DPI, and what it truly means to build a fund that becomes a company.What You'll Learn:• Why staying in your strike zone is the most underrated competitive advantage in growth equity.• How Lead Edge built a network of 700 operator LPs and activates them.• How to evaluate companies in the post–“growth at all costs” era.• What gross retention tells you that topline growth never will in regard to AI hype.• Why exit pathways must be defined upfront.• Urgency, clarity, and the ability to adapt without drifting are the best traits CEOs and teams can have.Timecodes:00:00 Intro00:18 Guest Introduction: Brian Neider, Lead Edge Capital04:00 From “Grow at All Costs” to Profitable Growth05:32 Lead Edge 8: The Metrics That Matter08:30 LP Priorities: DPI, TVPI, and IRR10:48 Why DPI Is Critical in Today's Market11:58 Exit Strategy Design: Defining Paths Upfront13:58 Disposition Committee: The Overlooked Advantage16:00 Filtering AI Hype: Experimental Spend vs. Real Retention20:12 The Bucket Analogy: Understanding AI Churn23:00 Founding Lead Edge: Building the LP Network Differently26:10 Scaling the Firm: From All-Hands to Specialization30:20 Activating the LP Network: How It Works in Practice33:40 The LP Flywheel: Sourcing, Diligence, and Portfolio Support36:00 Value Creation Capabilities: GTM, HR, and AI Support38:12 What Great CEOs Do: Urgency, Adaptability, Action41:54 Designing Effective Boards: Functional + Industry Balance44:30 Building Executive Teams: The Power of a Rigorous Hiring Process46:06 What's Next: The Future of Lead Edge & Market Opportunities51:58 Lightning Round: Personal ReflectionsResources:Brian Neider: LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-neider-7774041/Linnea Jungnelius:LinkedIn: https://⁠www.linkedin.com/in/linneajungnelius ⁠X: ⁠https://x.com/itslinnea⁠Explore the Podcast:Spotify: ⁠https://acertitu.de/brian-neider-spotify-podcastApple Podcasts: ⁠https://acertitu.de/brian-neider-apple-podcast⁠Blog: ⁠https://acertitu.de/brian-neider-blog⁠Found Value?

In this episode, I'm joined by Professor Jürgen Weigand from WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, one of Germany's most prestigious business schools. We dig into Jurgen Weigand's fascinating professional journey, from his start in academia and time abroad in the U.S., to his experience as a civil servant in the Netherlands and his influential role in shaping leadership programs at WHU. We chat about the true purpose of education, the importance of meaningful work—no matter what stage you're at in your career—and the differences between American and German approaches to teaching. Jurgen Weigand also shares insights from his co-authored books, "Hope is Not a Strategy" and "From Chaos to Clarity," and explains why successful strategy is about ownership, humility, and navigating complexity rather than trying to master it. If you've ever wondered why so many transformation projects and strategies fail, or how cognitive diversity and strong communication can make all the difference in leadership, you'll find practical takeaways and plenty of food for thought in our conversation.

Today's guest, Houri Tamizifar, Co-Founder and CEO of Cynuria Inc. and Inc. 5000 honoree (Rank No. 2502), joins the show to discuss the growing importance of Leadership Adaptability and the evolving role of AI in education. Houri shares why college students must proactively build AI skills and collaborate with faculty to stay ahead of rapid technological changes shaping the workforce. She highlights how clear communication and a culture of trust are critical for navigating organizational change and driving innovation. Houri also urges CEOs to lead with empathy, prioritize employee well-being, and create environments where teams feel empowered to adapt, grow, and thrive in a shifting job market. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:34 Introducing Huri Tami Zafar 6:03 AI and Learning Solutions 10:14 Understanding Learning Agility 12:01 Advice for Students on Learning 14:52 Leadership Principles for Growth 19:18 The Role of Core Values 21:16 Defining Business Adaptability 26:12 Empathy in Leadership Leadership Adaptability & the Future of AI in Education In this episode, we sit down with Houri Tamizifar, co-founder and CEO of Sinuria, for a candid conversation about Leadership Adaptability and the fast-growing influence of AI in education and training. Houri opens by stressing why college students can't wait for AI to simply "show up" in their curriculum, because in most cases, it won't. She encourages students to take initiative, seek out AI learning opportunities, and collaborate with their professors so they're prepared for the technology-driven workforce they'll be entering. Host Gene Hammett adds a leadership lens, pointing out that adaptability isn't just about being flexible; it's about communicating clearly and guiding teams with confidence when technology and industry trends change rapidly. Both he and Houri shine a light on how organizations that embrace innovation and curiosity will be the ones that stay competitive. Building Learning Agility & the Role of AI in the Job Market Houri shares her long journey in the education sector and how it inspired her to launch Sinuria, a company grounded in neuroscience-based training and human capital solutions. She also introduces her new startup focused on using AI to support instructional designers—making learning design faster, sharper, and more impactful. It's a reflection of her belief that the learning industry is evolving quickly, and organizations must evolve right along with it. The conversation then shifts to AI's growing impact on the job market. Houri explains that companies are already leaning toward hiring people who not only understand AI but are also willing to work alongside it. She highlights learning agility, a core value at Cynuria, as a must-have skill for employees who want to grow, stay relevant, and help their organizations maintain a competitive edge in a constantly shifting landscape. Trust, Culture, and Leading With Empathy Houri dives into one of her strongest beliefs: that a culture rooted in trust fuels innovation. She describes Sinuria's intentional hiring process designed to find people whose values align with the company and explains why giving employees room to think creatively and operate from their strengths leads to stronger results. She also addresses the very real human side of change. Adaptability doesn't always come naturally, and employees often feel anxious as new technologies emerge. Houri emphasizes the importance of leaders communicating openly, offering support, and creating environments where change feels less intimidating. As the conversation wraps, Houri offers heartfelt advice to CEOs: lead with empathy. Understand what your people are facing, prioritize their well-being, and give them the time and space they need to adjust as the world of work transforms. In her view, adaptability isn't just a leadership skill; it's an act of empowerment that helps teams not only navigate change but thrive because of it.   Key Takeaways Leadership Adaptability is Non-Negotiable: Effective leaders must communicate clearly, guide teams through constant change, and foster a culture that embraces innovation. AI Skills Are Becoming Essential: Students can no longer rely solely on traditional education—proactively learning AI tools and engaging with faculty is critical for future career readiness. Learning Agility Drives Success: Organizations increasingly prioritize employees who are curious, flexible, and willing to adapt to rapidly evolving technologies. Trust Fuels Innovation: Building a culture grounded in trust empowers employees to think creatively, collaborate deeply, and perform at their best. AI Is Reshaping the Job Market: Companies are leaning toward hires who can work effectively with AI and understand how to integrate it into their roles. Empathy Is a Leadership Advantage: CEOs and leaders who prioritize employee well-being create more resilient and adaptable teams. Change Requires Communication: A transparent, supportive approach makes it easier for employees to navigate new technologies and shifting workplace expectations. Empowered Teams Thrive: When leaders give people space to use their strengths, creativity, and voice, organizations become more agile and competitive.
