Competitive Strategy in an AI-Disrupted Marketplace

As AI lowers the barriers to entry across nearly every industry, resilient leadership means staying purposeful and composed while the competitive landscape shifts beneath you. This session carries forward the module's core theme — leading with resilience and clarity under pressure — but applies it to a distinctly 2026 threat: AI-native challengers. You'll learn to read the situation clearly, rather than react to it with anxiety.
