And your success depends on making smart decisions about a technology that is changing every single week. Let's be honest...no one prepared non-technical leaders for this challenge. We are all expected to be AI experts now and 10x the output of our teams. So you're stuck reading AI newsletters on weekends, evaluating vendor claims that might as well be written in hieroglyphics, and feeling certain you're falling behind competitors. Not only that, but now it’s a part of your performance review to drive AI in your team. You need a cheatsheet, and fast. So you can deliver results that get recognized by leadership -- and future-proof your career. To get there, you can't just rely on technical teams making all the decisions. (And you're not going to become an AI expert overnight). You need to develop the judgment to scope and guide AI implementation effectively to reach your business objectives. To be clear, this is not an AI 101 course. Unlike broad "AI for Leaders" courses, this live cohort is built specifically for busy department heads, managers, and team leads who need practical frameworks they can plug and play. I've designed this based on my own experience. At Accenture, I went from just a "regular" non-technical leader to securing $2M in funding for AI initiatives. Then I helped build the AI strategies that drove productivity improvements for over 14,000 consultants. Today, I advise both tech startups and Fortune 1000 companies on becoming AI-native organizations. By joining this course, you'll get my enterprise-grade templates and decision tools that have been battle-tested in the wild. WHAT TO EXPECT: This interactive course includes 4 live lunch-time sessions over 2 weeks, plus 2 office hours for personalized guidance. WHAT WE'LL COVER: - How to identify which problems in your organization are actually AI-solvable- How to pick AI opportunities that will become your personal success stories- How to speak confidently about AI without needing an engineering degree (and what is the difference between AI agents, Automation, GenAI, and Machine Learning)- How to make informed build vs. buy vs. "vibe code" decisions to save money and move quickly- How to set realistic expectations with leadership- How to overcome resistance and build buy-in across your organization- How to avoid the costly mistakes that 74% of companies are making- How to future-proof your AI strategy as technology evolves WHAT YOU'LL GET: - Decision frameworks including the "Build, Buy, or Vibe Code" matrix- AI vendor assessment checklist- "Why we're going AI native" narrative template for team buy-in- Guidance on when "vibe coding" is acceptable (and best tools for it)- Case studies from companies seeing 70%-300% improvements in marketing, engineering, and product management- Templates for communicating your AI strategy to different stakeholders- Lifetime access to all course materials, frameworks, and recordings The goal isn't to make you a technical expert - it's to give you the confidence to lead AI initiatives successfully. WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS COURSE: - You're responsible for AI implementation but don't have a technical background- You need to make strategic decisions about AI investment- You need to have AI in your OKRs or performance plans- You're bridging the gap between technical teams and business objectives- You want to position yourself as a forward-thinking leader WHO THIS IS NOT FOR: - Developers or AI engineers seeking technical implementation skills- Solopreneurs who want hands-on coding instruction- Those expecting to become AI experts overnight- People looking for general "this is what ChatGPT is" courses If you're still not convinced, consider this: The price of this course is a fraction of the cost of a single failed AI project (so you should ask if your company will pay for this). And even if they won't, this is a small investment towards making your career future-proof.

You've built your career on your expertise and results. Now AI has arrived.

Use your lunch hour for the most impactful activity you could have on your plate -- future-proofing your career.

Steal my framework for quickly deciding whether to Build, Buy, or "Vibe Code" AI solutions
