  • Why most AI transformations stall on people, not technology
  • The Block, Belief, Barrier, Break, Breakthrough model for changing behavior
  • How to turn a strategy into a message people move toward
  • What leaders who create leaders do differently

Who books Alec

HR, talent and learning leaders who are done waiting for adoption to happen on its own

Voluntary turnover

People leave when they can't see themselves in the future you're building. Give them a way to lead it.

Resistance to change

Resistance is a belief problem before it's a process problem. This is where the framework starts.

AI adoption

The tools are bought. The people aren't built. Close the gap that decides whether AI produces value.
