Course overview

From AI-Curious to AI Leader in 6 Intensive Weeks

You'll accelerate through four distinct phases:

1. AI Foundation (mastering prompting, personification, and quality control)

2. Strategic Application (using AI for analysis, project management, and problem-solving)

3. Leadership Development (building AI systems and leading transformation), and finally

4. AI Transformation (becoming the person who designs and implements AI strategy for entire organizations).

This accelerated format means intensive learning with immediate application - by graduation, you'll have a portfolio of real AI projects, custom agents, and the confidence to lead AI initiatives in any role.

What people are saying

I went from knowing nothing about AI to actually building agents and using them for grant writing. I ended up writing two $5 million grants with AI assistance and became the go-to AI person at my university. People ask me how to do things with AI now.

Joe

Grant Writer

Christine's approach completely changed how I think about AI. I learned to really knit and iterate with AI - not just accept the first answer. Now I can get AI to do exactly what I want, and it's become one of my biggest differentiators.
