About this Event
The strategies that built your career won't prepare you for what's next. Join world-renowned futurist Elatia Abate for an intimate evening exploring Business Beyond the Brain™ through her signature Think/Do/Be framework—moving leadership from intellectual exercise to embodied experience.
Limited to 40 future-conscious executives and entrepreneurs.
The Leadership Gap No One’s Talking About
You’ve led. You’ve built. You’ve succeeded.
But the strategies that got you here won’t get you where the world is going.
In the Age of AI, leadership isn’t about working harder or even thinking smarter—it’s about leading differently.
A Rare Opportunity in Atlanta
On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, world-renowned futurist Elatia Abate brings her acclaimed Business Beyond the Brain workshop to the Creative Media Industries Institute at Georgia State University.
Usually reserved for Fortune 500 conference rooms and closed-door board meetings, this is a one-night-only public experience—a chance to connect with Atlanta’s most future-conscious leaders in an immersive, transformative setting.
The Challenge We’re All Facing
AI and exponential innovation are rewriting the rules of business.
Old models of planning and control can’t keep up with an environment that changes by the hour.
The question isn’t if technology will transform everything—it’s whether you’ll be a conscious architect of that transformation, or a passive observer.
Leading and strategy must upgrade to meet this moment.
Business Beyond the Brain™ - The Think / Do / Be Framework
Elatia’s signature framework fuses strategic foresight, conscious action, and embodied presence to help you lead with clarity and conviction amid uncertainty.
THINK: Emergent Strategy
→ Replace static plans with living systems that prepare you for multiple futures.
DO: Embodied Practice
→ Move from reactive doing to intentional creation—leading with presence, not pressure.
BE: Conscious Co-Creation
→ Step into your role as a builder of futures that serve humanity and innovation alike.
What You’ll Gain
In this 2-hour interactive workshop, you will learn how to:
✅ Navigate uncertainty with confidence and precision
✅ Turn disruption into your greatest competitive advantage
✅ Expand decision-making beyond intellect to full-body intelligence
✅ Strategize for emergence—not just efficiency
✅ Unlock a calm, grounded leadership presence that inspires trust
✅ Guide teams through accelerated change with purpose and vision
✅ Position yourself ahead of the AI curve
This isn’t content you can stream or read—it’s an embodied shift in how you lead.
Who Should Attend
This experience is designed for executives, founders, and entrepreneurs who:
- Sense that the ground beneath business is shifting—and want to lead the change
- Are ready to upgrade from information overload to embodied intelligence
- Have mastered traditional success and are seeking their next evolution

If you’ve been craving a paradigm shift—not another framework—this evening is for you.
