What if Artificial Intelligence isn’t just changing your job – but also challenging your sense of self?

Over the past two years, I’ve worked with forward thinking leaders navigating the emotional and strategic impact of AI. These are capable, experienced individuals — yet many feel a quiet disorientation. Not because they lack intelligence or adaptability, but because the pace of change is outstripping their sense of identity and relevance.

In coaching sessions, I hear recurring themes:

• “I worry about being left behind.”
• “I don’t know how to lead through this.”
• “I’m losing confidence in my instincts.”

These aren’t just technical concerns — they’re identity-level disruptions.

After 30 years in tech and leadership, I know what it’s like to navigate uncertainty. When AI started reshaping the world of work, I faced my own questions about identity and relevance. Through exploration, learning, and mindset work, I found clarity — and created a life and a business that has AI interwoven in it.

To help other’s with their journeys, I developed a coaching approach that blends emotional intelligence with plain-English AI literacy. It’s designed to help professionals reconnect with their values, rebuild confidence, and engage with AI in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

Take Sarah, a senior consultant in a healthcare firm. She came to me feeling resistant to AI tools, unsure how to talk about them with her team, and worried she was falling behind. Through our work together, she gained clarity, rebuilt her confidence, and began leading a pilot program to integrate AI into her department. She didn’t just learn the technology, she built her own resilience up and became a trusted guide for others on their own journeys.

AI is reshaping how we work, but it’s also challenging how we think, relate, and lead. My coaching helps professionals not just keep up — but step forward as emotionally intelligent leaders who can shape the future, not just survive it.

Navigating this moment successfully requires clarity, confidence and understanding, to handle both the practical and emotional impacts of AI. Undertaking an AI training course will provide technical skills, but will not give you the space and time to explore the personal changes that you face ahead.

The Inner Upgrade is the journey that provides that clarity, confidence and understanding – a signature coaching program for forward thinking leaders navigating both the practical and emotional challenges of AI-driven change. It is designed from the ground up for people who are experiencing uncertainty about their place in a rapidly evolving world, and want to respond to that with more depth than just technical skills – clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.
