From Fear to Flourishing:
Guiding Institutions Through AI Transformation
AI adoption isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. It’s about shifting mindsets, navigating resistance, and reimagining what education can become.
In From Fear to Flourishing, I share what I’ve learned firsthand as an academic leader helping individuals and my own institution move from uncertainty to innovation. This isn’t a tech manual—it’s a roadmap for change.
If you're guiding your institution through change, leading innovation efforts, or simply wondering how to respond to AI with integrity—this book is for you.
Successful AI integration is not about the tools and the policies. It is about the people.
