2025’s Hard Lessons and 2026’s Reality Check
Everyone is trying to make sense of AI, but 2025 exposed something uncomfortable… most organisations were running faster than their leaders could actually understand.
Behind closed doors, executives admitted they were overwhelmed, under-resourced, and being pushed to deliver “AI outcomes” without the literacy, clarity, or support to do it safely or meaningfully. At the same time, AI capability and cyber risk sprinted ahead, widening the gap between those who were prepared and those who were pretending to be.
In this episode, I break down the three truths 2025 made brutally clear, two big shifts I believe are coming in 2026, and one action leaders need to take in January if they want to get ahead instead of playing catch-up all year.
You’ll hear:
✅ What leaders were really struggling with in 2025
✅ The global shifts that mattered more than the headlines
✅ The one lesson that changed how I advise executives
✅ One good and one bad prediction for 2026
✅ And the single action that will shape your organisation’s capability next year
If you want clarity, confidence, and a smarter way to lead through the AI era, this one’s for you.
