Current Work (2020–2026)

Founder & Chief Architect — LeadU.ai

LEADING AI (LAI)
A developmental leadership framework for navigating AI acceleration using Generative Inquiry, hierarchical complexity (L9–L16), and readiness-based design. LAI integrates:

• The PRIME ALGORHYTHM (SK² + PCGL² + WE = S²A)
• S:DISS-X (Selective Dynamic Inquiry System)
• VOLTAGE complexity model (Vertical, Oblique, Lateral, Time, AGE)
• SPARC outcomes (Satisfaction, Purpose, Awareness, Results, Competent Confidence)

COACHING AI (CAI)
A purpose-centric coaching architecture integrating Self-Knowledge Portfolio (SKP), ISIM decision structuring, SLOT analysis, and readiness-sensitive inquiry. CAI advances human–AI concurrency through structured generative reflection rather than advice-first automation.

AGGI & AGGI-POS Development (R&D)
Designing Aware Generative Guided Intelligence (AGGI) as a Personal Operating System (AGGI-POS) to operationalize Self × Situational Awareness (S²A) for leaders and coaches.
