• Hip-Hop as Leadership Practice - Reframes leadership through language, power, and cultural practice—challenging how authority is learned, performed, and reinforced.
• Story as Strategy: Narrative, Power & Culture - A look at how stories shape organizational behavior, public perception, and decision-making—and how leaders can work with narrative more intentionally.
• Rewriting Power: Leadership, Voice, & Authority - Examines who gets to speak, who gets believed, and how leadership changes when voice and authorship are taken seriously.
• Creative Leadership in Complex Systems - For leaders navigating uncertainty, resistance, and change—offering ways to think differently without defaulting to control or rigidity.
