Hi Reader For the last couple of years, everyone has been obsessed with prompt engineering. How to write the perfect prompt. How to get better answers from AI. It kind of felt like a cheat code. But now the game is shifting from prompt engineering to something much bigger: context engineering It’s not just about the prompt anymore. It’s about what surrounds it — the background, the tools, the setup. And it matters way beyond AI. It might just be the missing piece for building better teams,...

Hi Reader When I sit in a bomb shelter, waiting for sirens to end, I have a lot of time to think. Some thoughts are practical. Some are dark. And some, like the one I want to share today, keep looping back, quietly teaching me something I didn't expect. And the thought that keeps coming back to me is about the power of letting go. The false sense of control Most of us (myself included) walk around convinced we're in control of everything — our business, our careers, our kids, our routines. We...

Hi Reader I just crossed a major finish line — my book is finally done and entering its last stage before publication. And to be honest, it feels really good. And there’s a science behind that. Research shows that even small wins elevate mood, fuel confidence, and build motivation for what’s next. Each step forward reinforces our sense of competence, optimism, and resilience. The dopamine hit we get from progress isn’t fleeting. It compounds into stronger confidence and long-term...

Hi Reader Last week I coached one of too many high performers who feel like they’re barely hanging on. People who built impressive careers but now dread their calendars, zone out in meetings, and wonder quietly, “Is this really sustainable?” Deloitte’s Well-being Report confirms what many of us already feel: leadership is breaking people. Mental, physical, financial, and social health are all trending downward. The numbers are sobering: 52% feel exhausted 49% feel stressed 43% feel...

Hi Reader Here’s a stat that stopped me in my tracks: 64% of CEOs say they need to take more risks than their competitors just to stay ahead. That’s from the 2025 IBM CEO Study. And no—they’re not talking about thrill-seeking or spontaneous gambles. They mean bold, strategic, “this-could-change-everything” moves: Betting on AI with no guaranteed ROI. Rethinking talent in a world where 31% of the workforce needs reskilling—and over half of AI-related roles didn’t even exist a year ago....

Hi Reader What if I told you that 49% of CEOs expect GenAI to increase profitability within the next 12 months? That’s exactly what I read in PwC’s 28th Annual Global CEO Survey. That’s fast. That’s now. But here’s the rub… The Real Problem Isn’t the Tech – It’s the Talent Gap Adopting AI is more about upgrading your thinking than it is about upgrading your tools. What’s missing in most organizations? People skills. Specifically: AI literacy: Knowing what GenAI can—and can’t—do. Judgment:...

Hi Reader According to a CareerBuilder survey, 70% of employers are checking your social media profiles before they even think about picking up the phone. And here’s the kicker—nearly half won’t call you in at all if they can’t find anything about you online. And whether you’re an executive, a high-level expert, or a consultant, silence is no longer just neutral. It might actually be hurting you. It’s not limited to social sites either. 66% are using search engines to fill in the blanks....

Hi Reader 10 years ago, I was in the prime of my career. I had done all the right things: climbed the corporate ladder, built credibility in respected organizations, and earned a seat at the table. I started at Deloitte, eventually overseeing training and development for 800 people across multiple regions. Then I moved into banking, leading learning and development, and later joined a fast-growing telecom startup as VP of Organizational Development. I was speaking at conferences, getting...
