The "fix your team" mindset is a myth that’s comforting to believe and dangerously wrong. While it’s easy to point fingers at your employees, the most effective leaders know that when you point one finger outwards, three more point back at you. In other words, the first place to look for answers is in the mirror.

For years, the Western world has been the epicentre of business, trade, and economic dominance. The United States, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe set the rules, dictated financial systems, and assumed their status as global powerhouses was permanent. But nothing in business—or history—is permanent. A seismic shift is underway, one that is forcing leaders at every level to rethink their strategies, their markets, and even their roles in a rapidly changing economic landscape.

Imagine a future where Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved beyond anything we currently recognize. It doesn’t just analyse vast amounts of data—it understands human behaviour, emotions, and leadership decisions with near-infallible accuracy. It predicts your next career move, optimizes corporate strategies, and even provides precise executive coaching tailored to your psychology. Now, here’s the real question: If such an AI existed, would you trust it completely?

Artificial Intelligence is coming for your job. And if you’re an executive coach, mentor, or leadership consultant—well, good riddance. AI is faster, cheaper, more data-driven, and, quite frankly, immune to the self-important philosophies that many coaches cling to. Companies are already turning to AI-driven coaching solutions, and soon, they’ll realise they no longer need to waste money on a human being who asks, “So, how did that make you feel?

Let’s be honest—executive coaching sounds like a scam, right? Pay someone to ask you a bunch of questions you already know the answers to? Sit through deep, soul-searching conversations when you could be out there making deals and leading teams? Waste time talking about leadership instead of just… leading? If that’s what you think, I completely understand. In fact, I’m going to tell you exactly why you shouldn’t do executive coaching.

There comes a time in life when everything you thought was stable begins to crumble. Reinvention isn’t something we choose when times are easy; it’s often thrust upon us when we least expect it. Whether you're an executive navigating industry disruption, an entrepreneur facing setbacks, or a leader questioning your next step, the ability to adapt isn’t just an advantage—it’s survival.
