The Leadership Rewrite

You didn't get promoted to manage spreadsheets. But most leadership training still acts like technical skills matter most. Here's what the data actually shows: in the AI era, the leaders who outperform have rewritten something deeper - how they think, decide, and operate under pressure.

The Leadership Rewrite is a comprehensive leadership course launching in 2026. Join the waitlist now for founding member pricing.

You'll learn to lead yourself, your team, and your organisation using the neuroscience-backed framework I developed at Headspace and now teach to founders and CEOs navigating complexity.

This isn't theory. It's the exact methodology that helps leaders make clear decisions even when exhausted, delegate without guilt, have difficult conversations without losing sleep, and build cultures where top performers actually want to stay.

The question isn't whether leadership will get harder. It's whether you'll be ready.
