Cohort 1

Cohort 2

You know you need to lead—set direction, make decisions, build systems, develop people. But when you try to hold all of this at once, it blurs together. You're unclear about where your time actually goes versus where it should go.This workshop helps you define and understand your leadership practice in an AI-augmented world.You'll articulate your purpose and vision, clarify the decisions you're driving and the people you're developing, and see how your energy distributes across four distinct roles: leading (enrolling people in vision), directing (translating vision into decisions), managing (building conditions for work), and coaching (developing capacity).Through guided solo work and structured reflection, you'll see exactly where you're over-extended and where you're absent — and understand what needs to shift.You'll leave knowing which roles your context actually demands, where your judgment matters most, and what to stop spending energy on.For more detail about the Leadership Fluency framework, please see this in-depth article: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://methodandmatter.com/words-make-worlds/how-to-lead-when-ai-does-almost-everything/">How to Lead When AI Does (Almost) Everything Else</a>.

Understand the full scope of your leadership role and where to focus your time and energy to be most effective.

Know what grounds your leadership practice

See where your time and energy actually go

Distinguish between four types of leadership work

Recognize what's missing in your leadership practice

Make conscious choices about where to focus

Understand what needs to shift

The workshop maps your current leadership practice. You need active leadership responsibilities to gain the clarity this framework provides.

Currently in a leadership role (managing people, projects, or initiatives)

The Newly Promoted Leader Congrats on the new role! But now you aren't sure what leadership is beyond more meetings and decisions to make.

The Juggling Executive You manage strategy, ops, and people but can't see how it fits together or where to focus your time most effectively.

The Single-Mode Leader You rely on one leadership approach regardless of what's needed. It works sometimes but you're hitting clear limits.

You can't close a skills gap you've only ever guessed

As L&amp;D leaders you now carry three jobs: get fluent in AI yourself, upskill the whole org, and rebuild how L&amp;D itself works with it.Most teams can't define what 'AI fluent' means at any of those levels, so training misses the mark and adoption stalls.This workshop gives you a framework to diagnose where you and your team actually stand and identify the next step to close it.

Stop guessing what "AI fluent" means for your people. Leave with a working diagnostic, a team distribution, and a sequence to close it.

Install the AI Competency Compass as a working skill in your own Claude/ChatGPT

Place yourself across all three layers using evidence, not self-rating

Sketch your team's distribution and name which of the four patterns it is

Turn the distribution into a sequence you can defend to a budget holder

Tell a skills gap from an access gap, before you train the wrong problem

Learning &amp; Development Leaders

The news about the economy is depressing. Layoffs are a constant threat, even with strong performance reviews. Hybrid human agent teams are now a thing. The job market is frozen.How do you operate like a leader before someone gives you the title? Output might help you keep your job. Preparation gets you promoted. At risk if unsolved: the next promotion. The reliable operator who is perpetually “not quite ready” every cycle — while a systematically prepared peer becomes the obvious choice.Already tried: prompt collections, AI-tips newsletters, tool subscriptions. Didn't work because no recurring trigger. The habit never survived the 3rd Monday.Managers &amp; senior ICs who already use AI daily are discovering it hasn't changed how they lead: AI usage is now table stakes, so the career edge has moved to whoever runs a system.In one hands-on half-day, you'll build a personal AI Leadership Operating System on your real week — a context file, three engines, and a 30-minute Monday ritual that leaves as a scheduled habit, not notes. Unlike videos or prompt libraries, you get live feedback on your real material until it works — the ritual is on your calendar before the room closes.

How to use Claude, ChatGPT, etc. to create your own complete Personal Leadership Operating System on your own real work week in real time.  

•	Build and deploy a one-page personal context file 

•	Run the 1:1 Prep Engine on your own real calendar 

•	Define your 3 standing risk categories 

•	Extract every commitment from a week of meeting notes — owed and owed-to

Leave with 6 actionable artifacts that turn the lesson into a  weekly habit, 

We will be using a chatbot to build your personal operating system in real time. 

Basic familiarity with a Frontier chatbot.

Titles: Manager/Sr Manager/Director (engineering, product, ops, marketing, finance), senior ICs on mgmt track, senior PM, principal

Experience: 6–15 years; owns a calendar of 10+ meetings a week and outcomes delivered through other people.

Company: growth-stage and mid-market (50–5,000 employees), where roles are broad and preparation is visible.

Cohort 3: AI Literacy for L&D

As organizations expand their AI investments, the ability to demonstrate measurable business impact in AI upskilling and reskilling has become just as important as delivering high-quality learning.Most L&amp;D teams are rolling out AI training with no way to prove it works. Completion rates don't tell you if people can actually use AI on the job. Leadership wants ROI, not activity metrics, and that discrepancy is costing L&amp;D teams their credibility and their budgets.This cohort gives you the tools to close that gap: define what AI literacy actually means for your own competencies and for those you design training for. You'll use innovative techniques with AI to measure whether training transfers to the job. Then, connect those results to outcomes leadership cares about.Unlike one-off workshops, this 6-week cohort is structured around a clear learning-transfer arc. It will move you from orientation and awareness through judgment, application, and finally creation. Frameworks as well as the mental models necessary for AI literacy are embedded. This is the full journey from AI-anxious to AI-literate, with proof your stakeholders can see.

A scenario-based learning journey to build AI Literacy and evaluation framework.

Incorporates all competencies laid out in the Department of Labor's AI Framework

Utilizes AI as a thought partner in learning design and performance measurement
