Coaching Gen Z to Lead with EQ and AI with Jeremy Williams

The future of leadership is being shaped by teenagers who are building real businesses today. This is fascinating! I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeremy Williams, Head of Coaching at Founders Path, who is helping teens grow into emotionally intelligent entrepreneurs. Through this innovative program, students aged 13 to 17 are learning AI, blockchain, product development, and most importantly, how to communicate, collaborate, and lead. Jeremy is also the creator of Peer Coaching 460, a method that brings professionals together across industries to share insights and solve real-world challenges through connection and feedback. Jeremy believes emotional intelligence is just as important as technical skills and he’s proving it by guiding a generation of teens who are already thinking like founders. You’ll hear how relationships, curiosity, and simplicity are the foundations of both his youth and executive coaching work. This one will leave you hopeful about where business is heading. Highlights: 1. Why EQ Beats IQ for Entrepreneurs - Emotional intelligence helps young leaders build trust, handle feedback, and connect with real customers. 2. A Teen Business Accelerator That’s Actually Working - Inside Founders Path, students move from idea to product to pitch in just five sprints. 3. Feedback as a Life Skill - Jeremy teaches teens how to ask for and receive honest feedback without taking it personally. 4. Simplicity Is a Superpower - Whether coaching execs or teens, Jeremy stresses the value of clear, simple communication. 5. Building Real-World Confidence Through Peer Coaching - His 460 method helps professionals gain insight by solving challenges with peers outside their company.
