AI Fluency for Managers: Become Your Team's Translator in 3 Hours
Justin Bateh, PhD
Ex-COO ➡️ Top Maven AI Educator
Your organization expects you to have a point of view on AI.
You're already in the conversations. You don't have the language yet.
Your team talks about AI. Your boss expects you to "get it." Your reports are using tools you've never tried. Younger colleagues throw around terms you half-understand. You smile, nod, and Google it later. The exec asks what you think, and you answer in vague language because the specific words aren't there yet.
The problem isn't your intelligence. It's that no one ever taught you the structure.
What's missing isn't another tool tour. It's a framework.
In this 3-hour workshop, you'll learn the 5 P's of AI Fluency: a five-element framework that turns managers into the AI Translator on their team. The person who can explain AI clearly. Spot AI hype confidently. And speak about AI credibly in any room.
Predict. Patterns. Pitfalls. Places. Phrases.
Master the five and you'll understand the AI conversation today — and recognize what changes when the next breakthrough hits.
This isn't a YouTube playlist. It's the same framework I've delivered to managers at Bank of America, Deloitte, and Pinterest, after 20+ years of experience translating complex ideas for non-technical professionals.

⚠️ Spotting Hallucinations, Hype, and the Real Limits
Why AI confidently makes things up. The four limits built into every model. The red flags hiding in vendor decks and headlines. Leave with a 5-question checklist to pressure-test any AI claim.
- 1:00PM EDT
🛠 Where AI Belongs — and Where It Doesn't
Where AI is genuinely useful. Where it's dangerous. Where it's pure hype. Leave with a clear-eyed view of where AI belongs in knowledge work — and the confidence to say "no, not there" when it doesn't

A Working Framework, Not a Slide Deck
You won't leave with a PDF you'll never reopen. You'll leave with the 5 P's internalized — a mental model that runs in your head every time AI comes up in your team meeting, your 1:1s, or your exec review. The Cheat Sheet is the printout. The framework is the upgrade.

The Manager's Conversation Kit
10 real-world AI conversations with ready-to-use language. From "what's our AI strategy?" in the exec review to "how does this AI tool actually work?" in the team standup to "is my job safe?" in the 1:1.
The 30-Day AI News Diet
Five curated sources — newsletters, podcasts, accounts — that keep you current in 15 minutes a week. No doomscrolling. No noise. Just signal.
