Overview

This course helps experienced leaders recognize the polished forms of AI resistance that often hide inside caution, expertise, and past success. It is built for executives, senior managers, and directors who may not reject AI outright, but find themselves delaying pilots, questioning the value, or watching from a safe distance while others experiment.


Learners examine the stories, fears, and habits behind that hesitation, then practice naming the pattern without shame. Through real-world leadership scenarios, reflection exercises, and guided ChatGPT practice, they learn how to start better conversations, test AI in low-risk ways, and model a healthier relationship with change for their teams.
