Description

Christina Pan Podcast: First Principles & ReinventionLeading where there are no precedents requires more than strategy, it requires reinvention in your identity and how you’re leveraging your zone of genius.

In this LinkedIn Live, I’ll explore first principles thinking applied to you, using your zone of genius as your personal first principles to unlock clarity, confidence, and higher-leverage leadership in the AI frontier.

We’ll cover:

• Why questioning “Am I the right person for this mission?” is a signal and not a problem
• How first principles thinking (inspired by insights from Jensen Huang) applies to identity, not just products
• How identity shifts unlock faster, more aligned decisions in high-stakes AI leadership
• A non-obvious link between zone of genius, energy management…and yes, pickleball 🏓

🎯 For CEOs, founders, and senior executives pioneering AI innovation and growth

🧠 Expect mindset sparks, practical reframes, and questions you’ll keep thinking about after we wrap

🕟 Wednesdays for the next 4 weeks · 4:30pm PT · 10–15 min + live Q&A

Jan 14, Jan 21, Jan 28, Feb 4, 2026
