The Power of Your Mind: Winning Without Fighting in the AI Age Sun Tzu never taught people how to fight. He taught people how to win before the fight begins . In Win Without Fighting with Sun Tzu Art of War , I emphasised one core truth: The highest form of victory is achieved without confrontation, without struggle, and without force. Today, in the age of AI, this truth has become even more relevant. 1. The Greatest Battle Is No Longer External — It Is Internal In Sun Tzu’s time, the battlefield was physical. Today, the battlefield is the mind . Most people lose not because they are attacked, but because their own minds are: reactive fearful scattered addicted to answers dependent on tools Sun Tzu warned that: “If you know yourself and know the enemy, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” In the AI era, AI is not the enemy . Your undisciplined mind is. Winning without fighting begins with mastering your inner state. 2. Do Not Compe...

The Power of Your Mind Reframed Through Love Intelligence (LQ) In today’s AI-driven world, we are told that intelligence is everything — data, algorithms, fast thinking, accurate models. But what if your greatest power does not lie in what you know ? What if it lies in how you use your mind to shape reality, relationships, and destiny ? This is the essence of Love Intelligence (LQ),  the strategic use of the mind with heart, courage, and connection . 1. Your Mind is an Instrument, Not Your Identity Ancient wisdom from the Yijing (Book of Changes) reminds us that the mind is powerful, but it is still only a tool, not the self itself. When we identify with every thought, we become trapped in: looping patterns judgment comparison fear of what’s next LQ teaches you to observe your mind without becoming owned by it . When your mind becomes present-aware instead of reactive, you step out of fear and into choice. Your thoughts become weather, not your ruler. 2....

  Why Love Intelligence Matters in the Age of AI “What’s this got to do with me?” That is often the first reaction when people hear the word love in a business or leadership context. Love, after all, seems far removed from performance, productivity, or profit. Yet this question itself reveals a deeper misunderstanding of how results are actually created. For decades, we have been taught that success comes from intelligence, hard work, strategy, and now technology. In the age of artificial intelligence, that belief has intensified. We are told to upskill, reskill, and optimise faster than ever before. But look more closely at what is happening in organisations today. Why do people with similar skills produce vastly different outcomes? Why do some teams thrive under pressure while others collapse into conflict and burnout? Why do capable professionals stall, while others keep attracting opportunities? The difference is not competence. It is human state . Every outcome begin...

One of the core tools we use in our Executive Coaching is Love Intelligence (LQ), structured around the 3Cs: Care, Courage, and Connection. This framework is highly practical and applicable across almost all leadership situations — especially when an executive feels stuck, whether at work, in relationships, or internally. 1. Care begins with Gratitude When leaders are under pressure, the mind naturally focuses on what is missing or going wrong. The first step to breaking this pattern is gratitude — a deliberate act of acknowledging what is already working. Gratitude stabilises emotions, restores perspective, and creates the mental space needed for sound judgment. Without this foundation, any attempt to move forward is built on frustration. 2. Courage to refocus and act Once emotional balance is restored, the next step is courage — the courage to interrupt negative thought loops and consciously refocus on what truly matters. This is not about blind positivity. It is about doing the righ...

Most salespeople lose the deal before the conversation even starts. They fight on price, push harder, talk more, and wonder why buyers pull away. Sun Tzu warned about this 2,500 years ago. Those who fight head-on pay the highest price. Today’s buyers are smarter, distracted, and tired of being sold to. AI gives them options. Competitors sound the same. Discounts no longer impress. If you rely on pressure, scripts, or price cuts, you’re already late. For 39 years, Andy Ng has applied Sun Tzu ’s Art of War to real sales conversations — not theory, but deals, negotiations, and objections under pressure. The insight is simple but brutal: 👉 The best sales are won before the sale begins. 👉 The strongest closers rarely “close hard.” In this fast-moving half-day masterclass, you’ll learn 6 Art of War strategies and tactics to sell without force — and close without discounting. You will discover how to: ✅ Neutralise objections before they are spoken ✅ Position yourself where competitors ...

AI can give you answers in seconds. But let me ask you something honest. When was the last time an answer alone gave you clarity ? Most leaders today are not short of answers. They are short of clear thinking under pressure . And pressure is exactly where AI doesn’t help as much as we hope. I work with leaders, managers, and professionals across different industries. Almost all tell me the same thing, quietly. “Andy, I have more data than ever. More dashboards. More AI summaries. But decisions feel heavier, riskier, and more exhausting.” They are not confused. They are overloaded . Emotion creeps in. Fear of making the wrong call. Fear of accountability. Fear of speed. That’s not an intelligence problem. That’s a thinking problem . In the AI age, thinking is no longer about getting answers. It is about: framing the right problem reading people and situations accurately knowing when to act — and when not to AI can assist. But judgment still sits on hum...

The Real Problem Most courses hype people up, but don’t shift the mental operating system . What your client needs is not more techniques, but a core rewiring of how he sees problems, people, and power. When the workplace is full of blame, excuses, and denial, the solution is not to fight harder—but to rise above the dysfunction strategically . How Andy Can Help 1. Inner Strength First: SuperMe Unleashed We help people stop reacting to others' immaturity. Teach You how to anchor in your  Purpose, Love, and Gratitude (PLG) to stay clear, calm, and constructive—even in chaos. “When I shift, others respond differently. I become the silent influencer.” 2. Clarity Through Yijing Decision Systems Use Yijing to map where the real blockage is: Is it timing? People? Systemic rot? Or their own blind spots? Provide a new lens to assess his role and shift the energy dynamics around him. 3. Strategy from Sun Zi’s Art of War Train you to stop confronting. Instead, position himsel...

Is Love Intelligence really about love? The moment people hear the word love , misunderstandings arise. They ask: How can love possibly be linked to performance? intelligence? How can love resolve conflict? How can love create results? How can love have anything to do with business, management, or leadership? These questions reveal something important. For too long, we have focused only on outcomes, while ignoring how outcomes are actually created. Every result begins not with action, but with the state of the human heart and mind. And the starting point of that state is love. If I do not love my work, how can my inner state be healthy? Without love, I am easily tempted by money. I work for money. I live for money. And eventually, I may even trade my values for money. Love Intelligence is about restoring your original intention. It brings you back to why you started:  before fear, pressure, and incentives pulled you away.
