Executive Coaching in the AI-Era

Ep. 1: What Would You Do If You Got Laid Off Tomorrow?

Here's the hard truth: if a layoff hit you tomorrow, online applications would be the least effective thing you could do. And yet, that's where most leaders start.

In this innaugural episode of Executive Coaching in the AI Era, I'm walking you through exactly what I'd tell a client in crisis — how to use AI and tech to get your assets ready, how to build the kind of network that actually moves the needle, and why one real conversation beats a hundred submitted applications every time.

Because in the AI era, your most valuable career asset isn't your resume. It's your relationships.
