Leaderonomics Masterclasses & Experiences 2026

I remember our boss, Roshan, sharing about his early days at General Electric (GE) a few years ago. He shared how GE was obsessed with Six Sigma at one point in time during the era of Jack Welch in the 90s. Everything was about efficiency, speed, and eliminating defects. It was the era of “Doing”. If you could do the process better, you won.

But friends, when we look at the world today, we can tell you that what got us here won’t get us there.

We are living in a time that feels a lot like a chaotic storm. The waves are high (technological disruption), the wind is howling (economic volatility), and the boat is filling up with water (burnout and mental health crises). 2025 taught me us many things including our need to really embrace technology but also embrace our humanity. Our MAD Movement team shared recently about how tough it has become for young people to navigate this new world, and how after speaking with hundreds of leaders over the past year, they've found that the skills gap is widening faster than our ability to close it.

More than just new skills, we need a fundamental renewal of the mind.

We need to move from merely "doing" leadership to "being" leaders who can steward their organisations through the fire. That is why the Leaderonomics 2026 Public Programme isn’t just a calendar of events. It is a carefully curated ecosystem of survival and growth. We have gathered the "Avengers" of leadership—experts that Roshan and Hui Ming (our co-founders) personally know and trust—to tackle the specific giants facing us in 2026. This lineup is designed to give you an edge, and here's why you won't want to miss it:

Part 1: The Human Connection (Because AI Can’t Have a Soul)

In a digital age, the most premium asset you have is your humanity.

1. Sales with Soul: It’s Not Selling, It’s Closing

When: Jan 20, 2026

Who: Azril Aswad Rosli (Malaysia's top Sales Leader)

The "Why": We often think of sales as manipulation. But true sales is service. It’s about solving a problem for someone you care about. This is how Azril is going to dismantle the old scripts. He focuses on the "inner game of sales"—authenticity and emotional connection. 

If your sales team is struggling to close, it’s not because they lack a product—it’s because they lack the trust factor. This session focuses on "influence without manipulation", fully aligned with the principle of speaking the truth in love and ultimately closing the sale.

2. Develop Your Leadership Voice

When: Jun 29, 2026

Who: Cynthia Zhai (TEDx Speaker & Voice Coach)

The "Why": Have you ever sat in a meeting where someone smart spoke, but nobody listened? Then someone else spoke, and the room shifted? That’s gravitas. Cynthia teaches voice colour and resonance. As leaders, our voice is our sword. If you cannot project certainty and trust, you cannot lead. Cynthia is one of the top voice experts and will lead you to gravitas

Part 2: The Stewardship of Risk & Technology

In our new world, there is a huge emphasis on the stewardship and management of talents. In 2026, our talents are digital assets, AI, and cybersecurity. If we bury our heads in the sand regarding these, we are like the stupid and lazy leader who blame circumstances or ignorance for their organisational failures. To avoid that, we are bringing you world-class leaders who will deepen your understanding of these three critical areas.

1. Cybersecurity Awareness for Board Directors & Leaders

When: Mar 10, 2026

Who: Danny Kim (NASA Advisor, X-Prize Winner & Founder of CyberArmour and top global cybersecurity expert)

The "Why": Most Board Directors think cyber risk is an IT problem. Danny Kim will show you it’s a boardroom risk. One breach can destroy a reputation you took 20 years to build. Danny de-mystifies this for non-technical leaders. You need to know how to ask the right questions to protect your people. As one of the world’s top cybersecurity experts and a seasoned leadership thinker, he brings the rare blend that makes this topic not just urgent, but deeply engaging for senior leaders.

2. AI Strategy for Senior Leaders

When: Apr 21, 2026

Who: Nick Kim (Ex-Google & YouTube Leader)

The "Why": AI is rewriting the DNA of work. We cannot just "react" to it. Nick Kim helps you craft an “AI-first vision” grounded in ethics, responsibility, and competitive advantage. Because by 2026, if you don't have an AI strategy by 2026, you don't have a strategy. 

Nick brings expertise and real-world insight from his years as a YouTube leader at Google, where he helped drive the platform’s monetization.

3. Bitcoin & Digital Assets: Survival Strategies

When: Mar 5, 2026

Who: Redza Arbee

4. The New Frontier: AI, LinkedIn & Sales Transformation

When: Jun 25, 2026

Part 3: The "Inner Game" of Leadership

This is our favorite part. This is where we separate the managers from the leaders. These programmes enable you to grow to a new level of leadership that is required for success in the 21st century. Check out these 3 key leadership programmes:

1. AFERR Leadership Labs

When: Jan 22-23 or May 14-15, 2026

Who: Dr. Mohsin Memon

The "Why": You think you know how you lead, but you don't. Not until the pressure hits. This is a high-stakes behavioral simulation. Dr. Mohsin uses neuroscience to show you your blind spots. It is intense, it is data-backed, and it will expose the gaps in your leadership so you can fix them before a real crisis hits.

2. Paradoxical Leadership in the Age of AI

When: Feb 10, 2026

Who: Roshan Thiran

The "Why": Roshan, our founder, will be teaching this personally. We live in a world of polarized choices, but wisdom lives in the tension of opposites. How do you be humble and courageous? How do you innovate and maintain discipline? He will share the science of Paradoxical Leadership—the ability to embrace contradictions to make better decisions.

3. The Grand Finale: The Malaysia Leadership Summit (MLS) 2026

Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 Theme: The Inner Work of Leadership

If you only attend one event in 2026, make it this one.

Why? Because leadership is lonely. At MLS 2026, we are gathering over 600 leaders, CEOs, and changemakers. It’s a day to stop doing and start reflecting.

We are going to focus on Leading from the Inside Out. We will have:

• Story Circles: To reconnect with your purpose.
• Immersive Labs: To build resilience.
• The Heart of Service: 100% of the net proceeds go to charity.
• Global Experts and Leaders: 14 global thought leaders from across the globe will provide deep insights on leadership and change
• Networking & Collaboration Opportunities: Your chance to meet 600+ C-Suite leaders from across Asia, and the US and Europe to exchange ideas and collaborate

By attending, you aren't just growing yourself; you are helping us build a better nation. You are contributing to the "Budaya" (Culture) of Malaysia and your country.

Why You Must Act Now

There is a famous parable about wise people who prepared themselves before a big event happens in their lives so that they are prepared before the bridegroom arrived or potentially lose an opportunity to take advantage and win. Likewise, here is your opportunity to take advantage and win if you not only attend the MLS but also save significantly with the early bird savings:

• Early Bird Advantage: We have a special rate for those who register early. Be a good steward of your company's finances and lock in the savings.
• HRDC Claimable: Every single one of these courses, including the Summit, is fully HRD Corp Claimable. There is no excuse not to upskill.
• Limited Seats: Our Masterclasses are hands-on, which means we cap the attendance to ensure quality interaction.

Let’s make 2026 the year we don’t just survive the changes, but we lead the transformation.
