Creator Overview

This executive workshop tackles the subtle pride and fear that hinder AI adoption at the leadership level. Through guided reflection and microlearning exercises, participants uncover how pride-driven resistance limits innovation and learn to shift into a forward-thinking, AI-friendly mindset. The workshop offers a safe, structured path for these “prideful observers” to examine their reservations and experiment with AI, helping them pivot from resistant bystanders to proactive adopters.

Course Description

The Prideful Observer is a leader who hesitates to embrace AI due to confidence in their own expertise or fear of losing decision-making authority. This course helps executives identify these pride-driven barriers in themselves, highlighting how such resistance can impede innovation and weaken their competitive edge. Participants examine real-world cases where pride hindered technology adoption and use self-assessment tools to pinpoint their personal reservations about AI.

The program uses a microlearning approach to introduce AI concepts and tools in manageable increments. Interactive lessons and ChatGPT-guided exercises allow leaders to delegate small tasks to AI, gradually building their trust and confidence in the technology. Reflections and discussions reinforce the learning, helping executives see AI as a support rather than a threat to their expertise. By the end of the course, participants will have shifted to a “Forward Thinker” mindset—ready to champion AI initiatives with humility, adaptability, and strategic vision.

Target Audience

  • Seasoned executives who are skeptical of AI, often sticking to proven methods and resisting any shift of decision-making control to algorithms. Their reluctance is often rooted in pride in their own expertise.


  • Leaders who recognize a “wait-and-see” attitude toward AI in themselves or their teams, and who want to overcome ego-driven resistance to avoid falling behind more tech-forward competitors.


  • Senior managers and directors who take pride in past successes but worry that adopting AI might diminish their authority or value, yet are still curious about integrating AI without losing the human touch.

Whats Included

  • 9 video overviews with clear explanations and real-world examples.


  • 9 audio overviews with unscripted leadership conversations.


  • 9 visual overviews with diagrams and key concept snapshots.


  • 9 text overviews with concise, skimmable lesson summaries.

Requirements

  • Honest reflection on your relationship with AI and your leadership habits.


  • Willingness to be vulnerable, ask hard questions, and sit with discomfort.


  • Commitment to take small, concrete actions during and after the course.
