Into the book
Educators no longer passively accept external content. They leverage HR platforms, developer conferences, and industry trend reports to identify trends and connect them with the capabilities their organizations need.
Since then, we have been developing our execution capabilities by ‘directly designing’ customized content that fits the organization.
Generative AI, machine learning, and digital literacy, in particular, are rapidly evolving topics.
The more topics like this one are covered, the more evident the movement is to design education with a focus on practical relevance and applicability to the field.
This trend also affects instructors.
Understanding the latest trends is fundamental.
It requires the ability to implement it into a real learning experience.
The ability to plan lectures that are closely aligned with the field, such as practical training and workshop design tailored to the organizational context, is becoming increasingly important.
--- p.33
To effectively manage collaboration, you need to hire and train collaborative talent.
We need people who can do well on their own, but are even better together.
Managers who lead collaborative management must also transform into collaborative leaders, or polymath CEOs.
A polymath CEO is someone who has expertise in various fields, but knows how to connect and integrate them to create new value.
--- p.62
There is no right answer to adaptive leadership training, but this is how I approach it.
The order is analysis through diagnosis → workshop for experimentation → transfer after learning.
It is a structure that allows learners to diagnose their own work tendencies and leadership styles, experiment with relationships and work situations in actual organizations, and transfer learning based on the results.
--- p.87
The workplace, where the work and roles of various organizations and individuals interact, is also a place that functions based on various human relationships.
Although there are limitations such as given tasks, assigned roles, and limited space and time, there are definitely relationships that can be actively and proactively utilized within them.
Companies should focus on relationships not simply for the sake of conforming to the organization or looking good to superiors, but for the sake of a healthier and more efficient organization and the personal growth of individuals.
--- p.130
While there are concerns that the coach's role in team coaching in the AI era may be diminishing, the current trend is for AI to function more as a partner to the coach. AI excels at processing massive amounts of data and recognizing patterns, while human coaches excel at interpreting context and communicating empathically.
--- p.148
Communication skills in the hybrid work era come from strategically designing and training words and emotions.
Words are a moving force.
And that power lies with those who know how to design accurately and connect warmly.
In the future, communication strategies that plan words, design context, and connect emotions will have a greater impact on organizational performance.
--- p.190
The scope of application of AI video production technology is very broad.
In the marketing field, AI videos are being used to effectively attract consumer attention when launching new products.
Tools like Sora enable advertisers to create high-quality ads in a short period of time.
This is a markedly different approach from the traditional advertising production model.
AI video production technology is also bringing innovation to the lecture field.
Instructors can now produce high-quality lecture content without the need for complex filming equipment. AI-generated visual aids enhance learners' understanding and provide a more effective learning experience.
--- p.200
Wine Content has been running practical content for emotional recovery and healing, such as the 'Make Your Own Signature Sangria' program, for several years.
Recently, we have been expanding the scope of content from experiential to practical to strategic, focusing on practical educational goals such as job immersion, emotional communication, and strengthening teamwork.
--- p.225
In an era where AI is replacing fundamental aspects of knowledge transfer, AI personal branding is essential for instructors to thrive and thrive.
It is a holistic system for redefining, expanding, and monetizing your unique value as an educator in the digital age.
As AI technology advances, the boundaries between instructors and AI will continue to be redefined.
To continue to create value and exert influence in this environment, the ability to actively design and brand the relationship between instructors and AI will become a key competitive advantage. Successful instructors in the AI era will not be those who oppose AI, but those who master how to dance with it. --- p.265
Social media is a powerful tool for demonstrating instructors' expertise and a platform for creating teaching opportunities.
However, just as it's important to utilize social media effectively, it's equally important to avoid misuse. How you manage your social media channels can impact your image, credibility, and opportunities as an instructor.
--- p.295
In the 2026 education market, the greatest asset of middle-aged and older instructors is their decades of accumulated experience.
However, these experiences do not automatically gain value.
The ability to reconstruct past experiences into a form that current and future learners can understand and utilize is the core competency of middle-aged and older instructors.
--- p.318
No matter how much AI develops, they are proving that machines cannot replace human experience and sincerity toward others.
These 10 instructors have shown that the job of an instructor is not simply to be a 'speaker' but to be a 'life-changer'.
An instructor's ability is not about PPT or flashy skills.
It depended on how authentically you shared your experiences, how much you considered your audience, and how much you constantly strived to grow.
This was the biggest lesson I learned from meeting them.
I hope you all have the same experience as me.
