In this high-energy session for Microsoft’s global leadership community, Mariya Koteva delivered an Online Session on navigating transformation with clarity, resilience, and adaptability. With over 500 attendees tuning in, the session offered a fresh perspective on change, framing it not just as an external challenge but as an internal capacity that can be trained.

Introducing the Adaptability Quotient (AQ) and a practical Leadership Resilience Check, Mariya guided participants through science-backed insights and self-reflection tools to assess their readiness for change. Blending storytelling, neuroscience, and practical leadership strategies, she offered a powerful message: In an AI-driven world, your ability to lead through change depends on your energy, flexibility, and the systems you build around you. The session resonated deeply, sparking both personal insight and team conversations long after the talk ended.
