Course overview

Think better, lead wiser — transform AI into a thought partner

Curious about AI, but turned off by the hype? You’re not alone.


This is a high-level, human-centered introduction for thoughtful leaders who want to understand what’s possible — without getting lost in jargon or overwhelmed by tech.


You’ll see a custom GPT in action, learn how AI can support clear thinking and ethical leadership, and leave with a few simple tools you can use right away.


No prior experience required. Just curiosity, discernment, and a willingness to think differently.

Who is this course for

01

Principled leaders exploring AI for the first time — looking for clarity, not hype.


02

Organizational designers seeking sharper tools for complex systems.

03

Curious consultants who want to use AI to deepen reflection, not just boost productivity.

Build clarity, confidence, and a personal approach to using AI in your leadership.

Reflective Use of AI

Learn how AI can serve as a thinking partner — not a task tool — by mirroring your values, easing mental load, and sharpening discernment.

Practical Tools

Leave with a simple set of prompts and use cases to reduce emotional labor, lighten cognitive load, and stay aligned under pressure.

Ethical Grounding

Use AI in a way that strengthens — not erodes — your integrity. Learn to lead reflectively in a fast-changing tech landscape.
