Salley Community Update, July 2024
Another incredible leadership development workshop for emerging leaders and executives, joined the NVIDIA Inception Program, and more!
Hi friends,
Can you believe we’re already more than halfway through 2024?! It’s shaping up to be our best year yet. As you know, we’ve been hard at work to empower you and your team to thrive as the workplace undergoes massive change due to AI.
This past month was action-packed. We hosted yet another incredible leadership development workshop for emerging leaders and executives in New York, joined the NVIDIA Inception Program, among others! Let’s get into it:
Recap of our last Salley Session on Negotiation and Persuasion.
A few weeks ago hosted a very engaging leadership workshop on ‘Negotiation and Persuasion’. In today's competitive work environment, the ability to negotiate effectively and persuade with confidence can be the difference between achieving your goals and watching opportunities slip away.
Prior to our workshop portion, we had the pleasure of sitting down for a fireside chat with Jonathan Spivak, a veteran in the energy market data space. He talked about the negotiation and persuasion challenges he faced from founding his company in 2011, navigating two subsequent acquisitions, and integrating his company into the existing Wood Mackenzie landscape. Some pictures:



Upcoming Salley Session on ‘Designing your Career’ on July 30th
In an era of rapid change and evolving industries, the traditional career path is obsolete. Today's most successful leaders don't just follow opportunities – they strategically design their careers to align with their passions, strengths, and long-term aspirations. Are you ready to take control of your professional journey?
Our upcoming Salley Session will empower you with the tools and mindset to become the architect of your own career. Through an expert-led workshop and interactive exercises, you'll master how to identify your unique value proposition, spot emerging trends in your industry, and create a flexible career roadmap that adapts to changing market demands.
These sessions are typically attended by a curated group of emerging leaders and executives from top companies like Google, Mastercard, Oscar Health, and many more. If you'd like to be part of the upcoming session on July 30th in New York, please RSVP as soon as possible since we have limited spots available. RSVP here.

Salley has joined the NVIDIA Inception Program
I’m delighted to share that Salley is now part of the NVIDIA Inception Program! As some of you may already know, we’re building an Enterprise AI for leadership development based on behavior science and psychology. It will be the best AI, by far, for inferring leadership effectiveness and potential.
By joining this program, we now have preferred access to NVIDIA software and hardware, as well as technical implementation support from their Deep Learning Institute and developer forums.
We're working on a novel, more effective approach to leadership development. As such, we’re doing some extensive research on human behaviors, communication and bias. That’s all I can say about Salley AI for now. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the future :)
How you can help:
We’re looking to have more conversations with People (CPO, CHRO, VP People) and Operations (COO, President, etc.) leaders who works at a Series B or later company.
We’ll give you a special gift if you make a great connection!Reach out if you have any ideas on how we can collaborate to empower rising leaders and executives so they can thrive at work :)
Share this newsletter with someone who might be interested in staying up to date with Salley.
Wishing you an amazing week ahead,

Founder & CEO at Salley
