Today I have an extraordinary guest joining me, someone I'm proud to call a dear friend in the world of transformation and leadership. Kian Gohar is a visionary futurist, a best-selling author, and a key member of the transformational leadership council, which is a gathering of about 150 people who started as leaders in the transformational space and are now making a huge difference in the world. As a former executive director of the XPrize Foundation and a faculty member at Singularity University, Kian has a wealth of experience in innovation and cutting-edge technologies. He is also the founder and CEO of Geolab, a well-respected leadership development firm.
Kian has extensive experience with helping organizations tackle complex challenges and his work includes having made a profound impact on the leadership teams of numerous Fortune 500 companies, guiding them towards a future-focused approach that embraces change and opportunity.
He is simply a wellspring of knowledge which is beautifully reflected in his recently co-authored best-selling book, Competing In The New World of Work with Keith Ferrazzi, which focuses on how to become and stay competitive in the new post-pandemic workforce.
In today’s episode, I had the opportunity to dive further into Kian's latest research on Generative AI, and its potential to augment human creativity and transform team collaboration.
