Built for women and non-binary leaders who intend to lead the AI conversation.

Most AI training teaches awareness. It doesn't teach you to govern, evaluate risk, or walk into a board meeting and defend a position with the precision that earns a mandate. So you stay fluent and stay peripheral at the exact moment your organization is scrambling to identify who actually owns AI strategy at the executive level.The AI-Ready Executive was built for that gap. In one 4-hour live intensive, you'll move from AI-literate to AI-authoritative: you'll apply frameworks to evaluate a real initiative, make a defensible build/acquire/partner recommendation, and draft your Board Readout.You leave with three working artifacts that you can use immediately.1) AI Readiness Scorecard: an evidence-backed score of your organization across five dimensions — data, talent, processes, culture, and governance.2) Strategic Decision Matrix: a build / acquire / partner recommendation on a real initiative evaluated for strategic fit, capability, speed, cost, and the risk that survives scrutiny.3) Board-Ready One-Pager: A single-page narrative connecting your decision, value, and risk posture into the message a board can act on tailored to your primary stakeholder.

Learn to govern AI risk, score real initiatives, and brief boards — and leave with three artifacts you can use immediately.

Evaluate any AI initiative using a structured, repeatable scoring framework

Govern AI risk with a structured playbook before it escalates to the board

Make a defensible build, acquire, or partner decision on any AI initiative

Write and deliver an AI brief that lands with boards, investors, and regulators

Women and non-binary leaders at the director, VP, or senior IC level who want a voice in AI decisions.

Leaders who are past "what is AI" and ready for governance — how to assess it, evaluate risk, and communicate it at board level

Leaders whose organizations are actively making AI decisions and who want to show up with a framework, not just an opinion.

In one focused morning, move from using AI tools to governing AI at the table.

You're a director, VP, or senior IC being groomed for the next level.

Your organization is making AI decisions you want a real voice in.

You're past "what is a large language model" and ready for governance.
