Ensuring humans feel confident to work alongside and make the most out of AI.

How to scaffold your LLMs pre-prompt so they don’t just respond, but think in the right frame from the start.

Program AI instead of receiving replies from it

Tips for writing prompts that “get the best out of you” - not just the model - by co-working instead of outsourcing.

Augment your thinking instead of outsourcing it

Common error patterns across GenAI tools and how to spot them before they occur.

How to design a master prompt architecture that solves the next problem before it even appears.

Pre-empt the same issues the next time

Clients want coaching, your team wants direction, and leadership wants you to 10× your own output with AI - all while the AI tech stack changes every week. When you're not-technical and don't have the time to become technical, this becomes an insane challenge to overcome.&nbsp; It's also the challenge that I had to solve for myself. At Accenture, I went from being a 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. What you need is the time and space to learn by doing. I'll show you how to pick the right problems to solve with AI (and that will get you kudos from your bosses) and we will collectively build AI solutions together, live. Plus you'll walk away with frameworks and cheat sheets so that you can do it again and again -- and teach your team how to do it. Walk away not just with a working AI experiment, but with the skills and frameworks to become the go-to AI leader in your org. This cohort isn’t “AI 101.” It’s applied enterprise-grade learning for leaders who want to be ahead of the curve, not catching up to it. Unlike broad "AI for Leaders" courses that just cover definitions, this live lunch-time cohort is hands-on -- you'll pick your top use cases, calculate ROI, decide on the tech stack, and try your hand at automating some of your own workload. WHAT TO EXPECT:Format: four live, lunch-time sessions across two weeksSupport: two optional interactive office hours for hands-on helpPrep: bite-sized, zero fluff—show up, apply, move onOutcome: identify high-impact AI use-cases, craft an executable plan, and become the AI-native voice in your org (or for your clients) WHAT WE'LL COVER:- Pinpoint problems that are truly AI-solvable (we’ll choose them live)- Scope projects that become career-making case studies, not budget sinkholes- Speak “just-technical-enough” about GenAI, agents, ML, and automation- Make smart Build • Buy • Vibe-Code calls to save cash and time- See case studies from companies seeing 70%-300% improvements in productivity, marketing, engineering, and product management- Select platforms for low-code / no-code AI automations- Set realistic expectations with leadership and clients- Overcome resistance and build cross-functional buy-in- Avoid the costliest implementation traps- Keep your strategy relevant as the tech leaps forward YOUR REPEATABLE AI PLAYBOOKGain proven frameworks, vendor matrices, and checklists to de-risk projects and win buy-in:1. Build, Buy, Vibe-Code AI Solution Decision Matrix2. AI Vendor Assessment Checklist3. “Why We’re Going AI-Native” Narrative Template4. 7-Point Checklist to Avoid AI Project Failure5. Handpicked list of my personal AI tech stack (the coolest AI products in the market right now) to explore 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 projects but don't have a technical background- You need to make strategic decisions about AI investment- You're leading consulting engagements and clients want coaching on AI- 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- 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.

What you’ll get out of this course

Companies are already seeing huge results...HubSpot improved email performance by 70%, Gumroad increased feature releases by 300%. Don't reinvent the wheel. Learn directly from real, behind-the-scenes case studies - and leave with a tangible plan for your team.

Leapfrog to picking 2-3 of the most impactful AI use cases based on what top AI leaders are doing

Decision fatigue is real -- and not all use cases need to be custom-built (and who has engineering resources for that, anyway). You'll be able to confidently decide how you should implement each use case to maximize speed to value. We'll apply this framework together in real time

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

Learn how to prompt AI agents like a boss, pick the right platform (Zapier, Make, ChatGPT, N8N), and start to automate your own work so you can deliver 10x more value.

Vibe code your AI "quick wins" live

74% of companies are struggling to see value beyond an AI proof of concept. We'll cover what makes a good AI deployment (to AI agent or not to AI agent) so your efforts stay relevant and scale over time. We'll analyze real situations from within the cohort.

Deconstruct the best practices and top mistakes companies make when deploying AI internally

AI tech isn't even the hardest part -- AI leaders are putting 80% of their effort into aligning people and processes. You'll leave with a clear, actionable roadmap to transform your team into an AI-Native powerhouse.

Create your own "Why We're Going AI Native" narrative to gain buy-in from your team

Walk away with a working AI experiment built on your own business problem — and the skills to become the go-to AI leader in your org.

Cohort 1

Cohort 2

The ChallengeYour days are filled with:🗓️ back-to-back meetings,🚀 sky-high customer or investor expectations,⏱️ wishes that your team could move faster sooner,🔥 wishes that you could move even faster and work on what really matters instead of fighting fires. You start each day with the best intentions, but somehow find yourself constantly reacting instead of leading.&nbsp;Sure, it would be nice to focus on your own goals, but you care about those other people (or at least some of them 😁). They’re colleagues and customers, family and friends... How can you collaborate with them responsively without forsaking your goals and becoming just a (re-)Actor in their story? 🎬 ✨ You wonder if AI can help, you wonder how other leaders are using AI to manage it all and manage their teams—but honestly, who's got the time to figure that out? ⏳ You have a constant, lurking anxiety about what’s falling through the cracks or not getting done, so you work faster. As you try to move faster, people fall short of your expectations and their potential. It causes friction and frustration (even if you hide it well). It's uncomfortable to call out, so you avoid giving feedback or mention it lightly, which makes the situation more uncomfortable. Eventually, you decide to give feedback. Sometimes it goes okay. Often, you try to move through and out of the conversation as quickly as possible because it feels so awkward. Growth and improvements rarely last. You take on more work yourself to get it done. The Solution (Evidence-based. Immediately applicable.)⏱️&nbsp;EVERYTHING YOU READ BELOW WILL BE ORIENTED TO IMMEDIATE APPLICATION DURING THE COURSE ⏱️What if you could shift from reacting to the constant inputs to creating what matters most and leading your team in that direction--everyday? This course will support you, step by step, in building your Operating System to make this shift. Fancy apps aren't enough. Nor are bursts of motivation. A sustainable Operating System has 3 features:🧰 Tools (simple enough to keep using, and amplified by AI)🔁&nbsp;Habits (the tools don't use themselves...except for some of the AI ones we'll build)🧠 Mindsets (you can "productively" spend your life responding to other people's messages and requests--or build something that matters) No, "perfection" isn't possible (or even desirable). But our days--and our results--completely shift when we focus our attention systematically instead of ad-hoc and reactively. And our conversations shift when we stop trying to fix people and start inspiring them to take action and grow. We teach you how to do this by using straightforward approaches that reliably transform defensiveness and friction into self-reflection, connection, and motivation to grow. You will start to look forward to feedback conversations because you will know how to use them as powerful tools for building trust and deepening connection. You will also explore your own mindsets and beliefs around feedback, identifying your own patterns around conflict avoidance, people-pleasing, and controlling behaviors. AI is woven throughout the course, including:1️⃣ building your own Custom GPTs2️⃣&nbsp;mastering your calendar3️⃣ using AI as a practice partner for difficult conversations and coaching skills4️⃣ helping your team use AI, and so much more! Once you've shifted the way you manage yourself and lead your team conversations, applying evidence-based approaches tested with 1000s of managers and amplified with AI, the whole game becomes fun again. Bonus:📝 You will also get 5 step-by-step facilitation guides for sharing and teaching your team members everything we cover in this course. This helps establish shared language and frameworks within your team/organization, and positions you as the leader of change. 📖&nbsp;You'll also get our 20-page Offsite Playbook with step-by-step guidance on how to design and facilitate unforgettable team and company gatherings. 🚀 And you'll get to do this while in a practice lab with other high-growth leaders.

A 6-week applied learning cohort to elevate your cognitive altitude with the Eight Meta-Cognitive Skills of Leadership™ WHY THIS PROGRAM AND WHY NOW? AI is no longer just automating tasks. It is beginning to disrupt management itself. Reports, plans, analyses, and even decisions are increasingly generated by intelligent systems. Managers who rely only on traditional skills risk being outpaced by algorithms that think faster, cheaper, and more accurately. While AI can provide intelligent answers, it cannot yet replace the higher-order and bigger picture thinking that defines great leadership: the ability to reason from first principles, synthesize across disciplines, navigate ethical dilemmas, and decide future direction. Yes, people, emotional and influence skills will only grow in importance. But these have long been emphasized and developed before the AI age.&nbsp; What has truly shifted — and is being disrupted right now — are our cognitive capabilities. As AI advances and assumes the baseline thinking, leaders must raise their game with higher-order cognition or risk drowning below the rising AI waterline. With the rapid advancement of AI at the workplace, the need for managers to upskill cognitively and strategically has never been more serious and urgent. ﻿WHO IS THIS FOR? This program is for leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers who want to stay ahead of the accelerating disruption caused by AI. If you’re concerned that automation may replace, reduce, or reshape your role, then this is for you. You’ll gain the meta-skills and strategic frameworks to transcend the threat posed by AI and transform this challenge into your next advantage. WHAT IS THIS PROGRAM ABOUT? The AI-Generation Manager Program is a deep-impact, cohort-based journey for managers who want to raise their game and future-proof their careers in the age of AI. This Program aims to elevate leaders to the 30k feet level, enabling them to rise above automation, disruption, and complexity. Through this unique program, you will be equipped with The Eight Meta-Cognitive Skills of Leadership for the AI Age: ★ First Principles AnalysisStrip a problem down to its basic truths, questioning every assumption, and then building solutions upward from those core foundations. ★ Moral-Ethical ReasoningNavigate complex dilemmas with clarity of values, balance what is right with what is effective, and ensure decisions advance corporate interests while honoring societal and long-term responsibility. ★ Jobs-to-be-Done MindsetComprehend the true progress customers seek and innovate products and processes that help them make progress. ★ Systems ThinkingDevelop a higher-level, systems view of a problem, business model, company, or ecosystem in order to solve, optimize, or orchestrate change. ★ Future-Back OrientationStart from a vision of the future and reason backward to identify the steps, innovations, and transformations required to reach it from today. ★ Trans-Disciplinary SynthesisGenerate fresh perspectives, non-obvious insights and unique ideas at the intersection of and crossover between fields, disciplines and industries. ★ Multi-Civilizational PerspectiveIntegrate wisdom, values, and methods from multiple civilizations and cultures to transcend narrow worldviews and craft more holistic strategies. ★ Geo-Techno-Economic FluencyAppreciate the interwoven dynamics of geopolitics, technology, and economics, and apply that integrated lens to anticipate disruptions, shape strategy, and seize opportunities. The AI-Generation Manager Program arms you with these future-ready capabilities, so you do not just keep up with AI, you stay on top of it. It is tailored for practical, everyday leaders who shoulder the responsibility of turning strategy into reality, guiding teams through change, and driving results under uncertainty. The program blends futurist insights, guided instruction, interactive learning, case-based exercises, and a capstone project, ensuring that you not only learn new frameworks but also apply them immediately and effectively.

You've watched the webinars. You've read the articles. You might have even taken an AI course or two.But you're still stuck. ☑️You know AI is important&nbsp;– but you don't know where to start with your actual work☑️You've tried ChatGPT&nbsp;– but beyond basic questions, you're not sure how to make it truly useful☑️You want to be the AI person&nbsp;– but you lack the confidence to lead AI initiatives at work☑️You're overwhelmed by options&nbsp;– every day there's a new AI tool, and you don't know which ones matter☑️You're tired of theory&nbsp;– you want to build something real that actually saves you time Here's the truth most AI courses won't tell you: 🔺Learning about AI doesn't make you good with AI. Building with AI does.🔺That's why 80% of professionals who take traditional AI training never actually implement what they learn. They get knowledge, but not capability. The AI Builders Guild is different. 🥋I don't teach you about AI. I teach you to build with AI.🥋 Imagine this: You're staring at your overflowing inbox at 6 PM, knowing you have three reports due tomorrow, a client presentation that needs major revisions, and somehow you still haven't figured out how to streamline that weekly process that eats up four hours of your team's time. Your colleagues are drowning in the same chaos, and everyone keeps talking about AI like it's some magical solution—but all you've seen are generic chatbots and prompt libraries that feel more like homework than help. Then, you discover something different. Not another course promising to teach you about AI, but a guild where you actually build it. Think of it as your personal workshop where, over 8 weeks, you don't just learn about AI—you forge custom tools with your own hands that solve your actual problems. This isn't about memorizing prompts or understanding theory. It's about that moment when you create an AI assistant that writes your weekly reports in minutes, or build a custom analyzer that turns your messy data into crystal-clear insights, or craft a workflow that handles those repetitive tasks while you focus on what actually matters. ✨ The magic 🧞‍♂️ happens when you realize you're not just an AI user—you're an AI builder.✨ By week 4, you're creating solutions your colleagues beg to use. By week 8, you're the person they come to when they need something "impossible" solved. No coding background required, no technical degree needed—just the willingness to build something real. What if I told you that in two months, instead of drowning in busywork, you could be the workplace wizard who turns problems into solutions with tools you created yourself? What You'll Actually Build in 8 Weeks⭐️Week 1 - Personal AI Toolkit: Select your tools and build a customized set of 10 proven prompts that solve your specific daily challenges.⭐️Week 2 - Advanced Prompt Library: &nbsp;Create a comprehensive prompt collection that colleagues will want to copy.⭐️Week 3 - Your First AI Employee:&nbsp;Design and deploy a custom GPT that knows your business and works exactly how you need it to.⭐️Week 4 - Automated Workflow System: Construct a multi-step AI process that handles routine tasks while you focus on strategic work.⭐️Week 5 - Professional AI-Generated Content:&nbsp;Develop AI systems that create documents, presentations, and materials in your authentic voice.⭐️Week 6 - Data Analysis Intelligence System: Build an analysis system that turns your business data into actionable insights.⭐️Week 7 - Team Training &amp; Implementation System:&nbsp;Create a complete training system to multiply your AI capabilities across your team, family or community!⭐️Week 8 - Master Integration Workflow: Combine everything into a comprehensive system that delivers exponential value. By the end, you'll own 6+ working AI solutions that save you 20-40% of your time on routine tasks AND add value to your life and your business.
