Content Creation & Leadership Development

Since 2021, I have written more than dozen business cases for the Netflix Leadership Management Training Program. These cases are character-driven and based on real world situations. Each case involves extensive interviews and research and requires distillation of complex subjects into entertaining, educational stories. Given that I am under a strict NDA and cannot share my work in this area, check out this interview with Kenny Temowo, who leads leadership development for Netflix UK, for a description of the work. Additionally, there is this blurb from 360learning.com where his interview is showcased:

A Socratic-based approach to leadership development

The Netflix team developed a leadership program inspired by the Aspen Institute’s Great Books program.

“Peter Reiling, our VP of leadership programs, developed a program for CEOs and business leaders to really deepen their knowledge in this space, “ Kenny explains. “It’s a text-based Socratic dialogue of questions based on reading stories written by journalists or ex-journalists in the business.”

“And because Netflix is about stories, we use these stories or cases as a way of exemplifying key issues in the business,” he says. “The stories are powerful, and people get immersed in these stories and challenging conversations with each other.”
