Start thinking in AI. You have a personal Chief of Staff in your pocket for $20/mo, but you don't know it. You've tried ChatGPT. Maybe you use it to draft an email or summarize a document. And honestly? You're a little underwhelmed. Or a little intimidated. Possibly both. The hype says this technology will change everything. Your personal experience says it's a slightly better Google. That gap isn't because AI is overhyped. It's because nobody has taught you how to actually think in it. This session closes that gap.
Who this is for You're not an engineer. You don't want to be one. You're a decision-maker, an owner, a leader — and you've been quietly frustrated that your personal use of AI hasn't matched the promise. You've dabbled. You've been impressed once or twice. But you haven't crossed the line from ""occasional tool"" to ""this is how I work now."" Maybe your company is trying to figure out the perfect strategy, but you don't know how to help.
What you'll leave with A working operating model for AI — the same one I use with private coaching clients. You'll walk out able to: separate real capability from vendor theater, identify the three highest-leverage AI moves specific to your work (not generic use cases), run a 90-day adoption plan that doesn't stall in month two, and speak fluently enough to lead your team through the transition instead of following them.
What we'll cover The fluency gap — why most executive AI training teaches the wrong layer. The capability map — what today's models actually do well, where they fail, and how that's shifting. The delegation question — what to hand to AI, what to hand to humans, and how to tell the difference in your own workflows. Real-work demos — no abstract examples. We'll rebuild pieces of a real business in front of you. The org change problem — why most AI rollouts quietly die, and the three patterns of the ones that don't.
Why now In twelve months, the people around you — peers, competitors, employees, the person pitching you — will be working this way by default. Not as a novelty. As their baseline. The question isn't whether you'll adopt AI. It's whether you'll leverage it to create better output, value and time for yourself, or be left behind. Bring your hardest question. You'll leave with a clearer answer than anyone's given you yet.
