You've explored everything from foundational partner engagement to modern strategy execution. From boundaries and branding to AI and automation. This wasn’t just a course—it was a full-on career development lab.

But here’s the real truth: The best channel leaders don’t stop learning when the module ends. They continue asking, evolving, experimenting, and growing.

So let’s talk about what comes next.
