Early Talent Leadership Development

You’ve built AI capabilities. Now build the leaders who know how to drive growth with them.

A 10-week leadership development program for the AI era. For companies building their new grad cohort, and for individuals investing in themselves.

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

Build AI-native leaders at the start of the pipeline.

Sostibl’s Impact Innovation Hub is a 10-week leadership development program built for new graduate hires and individuals looking for career mobility to more senior roles. It develops the one thing no platform, classroom, or AI tool can build on its own: the human leadership capability that defines who rises once AI handles everything else.

Why It Works

Real work builds real leaders.

Most leadership development asks you to take it on faith that something changed. This program does not. In our pilot, participants did not 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.

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.
