Everything I've learned about thriving in the age of AI, in one place.
I write, teach, and build because the ideas that help people navigate change deserve more than a single workshop or a social media post. Below you'll find books you can read at your own pace, podcasts where we go deep on specific topics, workshops you can bring to your team, and open-source tools you can use right now.
Books
Finally, Superpowers! (2026)
AI gives you speed. The trap is living like a machine.
The superpowers are real. One person can now do what used to take a team. But leverage of that magnitude comes with a catch: it rewires your attention, blurs your boundaries, and tempts you into outsourcing the very thinking that makes your judgment strong.
Finally, Superpowers! is for professionals who want AI's full potential without losing what makes them irreplaceable. It covers the Superworker Model, the shift from tasks to agent-directed workflows, and the discipline of staying human when the machine wants you to keep up.

Get the book on AmazonBeing Replaced: The Five Human Skills AI Can't Automate (2025)
Stop competing with machines. Start doing what only you can do.
This is where it all started. Being Replaced introduces the Cognitive Agility Framework — five capabilities that create visible value when everything else is being optimised by machines. Flexible thinking, emotional intelligence, collaborative intelligence, intuition, and innovation.
Not another AI hype book. A clear-eyed look at what makes humans irreplaceable, grounded in neuroscience and tested in real organisations. Also available in Dutch as Vervangen Worden.

Build Bot Brains: How Superprompts Make AI Your Ally (2024)
The sticky note that changed everything.
A practical companion for anyone who uses AI tools and wants to stop getting mediocre results. Build Bot Brains teaches the CRAFTER SuperPrompt Framework — a systematic method for briefing AI that turns unpredictable output into reliable collaboration.
Includes a four-week mastery programme, real-world case studies, and templates you can use immediately. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI platform.

Game On! How Great Leaders Turn Pressure Into Play (2024)
Co-authored with Karl Mortier.
Leadership isn't a battle to win or a performance to perfect. It's a game. Game On! explores the inner game (awareness, regulation, curiosity) and the outer game (arenas, roles, tactics) of facilitation and leadership.
For anyone who runs meetings, leads teams, or facilitates change — and wants to do it with more confidence and less control.
