In this episode of The CSM Lounge, host Femi sits down with Jennifer Selby Long, an executive coach to CISOs at companies like Airbnb, Sony, and LinkedIn.

Jennifer breaks down why the "high-control" leadership model is cracking and how to navigate the mental and political pressures of the C-Suite. From leveraging sports psychology to mastering "influence without authority," this episode is a masterclass in personal and professional transformation for the modern cybersecurity leader.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Promotion Trap: Why moving from IC to Manager is a career change, not just a promotion.
  • Control vs. Collaboration: Why "command and control" fails in the age of AI and global workforces.
  • Influencing the Board: The secret to getting "power of the purse" by understanding business pain points.
  • Performance Psychology: Using the "Threat vs. Challenge" mindset to stay calm under pressure.
  • The Power of Recovery: Why high-performing leaders must oscillate between "push" states and "rest" states.

Mastering the AI-Enabled Organization]]>Is your organization truly leveraging AI, or are you just stuck in "Strategy Theatre"?

In this episode of The CSM Lounge, Femi sits down with Adura Fayode, founder of Aivant, to discuss why most enterprises are stuck in "Strategy Theatre." While AI is a recognized game-changer, adoption often stalls due to leadership disconnects and a lack of practical frameworks.

Inside the Episode:

  • The Stagnation Trap: Why hype isn't translating into enterprise action.
  • Strategy vs. Theatre: Moving beyond talk to implement workflows that drive real value.
  • The 3-Step Framework: A roadmap for defining use cases, running pilots, and measuring success.
  • Leadership’s Fatal Flaw: Why ignoring employee-led innovation is a missed opportunity.
  • Future-Proofing Culture: Balancing security with the urgent need for speed.

"Awareness must translate into practical steps." — Adura Fayode

About the Guest: Adura Fayode is the founder of Aivant, helping organizations integrate generative AI to maximize productivity and navigate the AI revolution.

Until something breaks.

In this episode, I’m joined by Judy Sin, an experienced Cybersecurity Strategic Consultant, who works with organizations navigating cyber maturity, incident response, executive tabletop exercises, and real-world security challenges.

We talk about the uncomfortable gap between compliance and readiness — and what tech leaders need to understand about resilience before it’s tested under pressure.

Whether you’re in cybersecurity, engineering, compliance, or executive leadership, this is a practical and honest conversation about building systems — and cultures — that can actually withstand disruption.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates “we have a plan” from “we’re prepared,” this one’s for you.
