Early Talent Leadership Development
You’ve built AI capabilities. Now build the leaders who know how to drive growth with them.
The Impact Innovation Hub builds the Sostibl Leader: the catalysts of tomorrow. Seven skills. Ten weeks. Real work. Real stakes.
The Problem
AI eliminated the entry-level work that built your future leaders.
The tasks that used to teach new hires judgment, adaptability, and how to navigate real problems are gone. Entry-level hiring is down 80% at companies adopting AI. Seventy-four percent of HR leaders currently have no plan to replace the on-the-job learning being lost to automation (D2L/Morning Consult, 2026).
When organizations stop building at the front of the pipeline, there is nothing on the other end. No experienced mid-level talent in three years. No leadership bench in ten.
The workforce builds AI capability. But runs out of leaders.
The Solution
Real leadership development. A category of one.
We don’t have a category for what we do because none of the existing ones fit. It’s not a bootcamp — the work isn’t simulated. It’s not a course — the learning doesn’t stop when class ends. It’s not coaching — there’s no one else to do the work. You don’t earn the credential by completing the program. You earn it by leading through something real.
Real work. Real stakes. Real leaders. That’s the whole model.
THE PROGRAM ARC
10 weeks. One real problem. Seven leadership skills built through the work.

Who It’s For
Two ways to enroll.
For Companies
Build your grad cohort into AI-era leaders.
Enroll your new graduate hires as a dedicated cohort or join a shared cohort alongside peers from other organizations. The cohort works on a real problem tied to your business, developing leadership skills that serve your pipeline for years.
Founding partner rate: $12,000 per participant. Group pricing available.
Cohort 1 starts January 18, 2027. Fully virtual.
For Individuals
Invest in yourself before the market decides for you.
Whether you are a recent grad entering a tough market or an early-career professional looking to move into more senior roles, this program gives you the real-world problem-solving and leadership experience that accelerates what comes next. You build the skills. You own the outcome.
$12,000 per participant. Cohort-based enrollment.
Cohort 1 starts January 18, 2027. Fully virtual.
Why It Works
Real work builds real leaders.
Real isn’t a modifier. It’s the category. In our pilot, participants didn’t role-play a problem — they shipped one: a web app that cut a school’s parent-outreach time from hours to minutes and launched two careers along the way. The difference between that and a case study is the difference between a leader who might know what to do and one who already has.
Professionals who engage in experiential learning early in their careers earn on average $15,000 more annually than those who do not (NACE). Companies with structured early development programs improve 12-month retention by 82%. The return is not just in the participant. It is in the pipeline.

Mona Soni, Founder
After years as a CTO, Mona stepped back and found the work that actually mattered on the other side: a seat on the board of RTE, and time spent with young innovators in Guinea. Watching leaders and communities solve real problems together, on the ground, with no playbook, showed her what no classroom could teach.
That’s where Sostibl came from. She built the program she wished she’d had.
