In-person AI training
AI fluency for professionals who set the pace.
A full-day, in-person workshop that transforms how professionals work with AI. Case study method. Small cohorts. Real impact.
The challenge
Most AI training isn't built for you.
You’ve read the articles. You’ve watched the online videos. You’ve heard the town hall presentations. You may be using Chat GPT or Claude to do simple tasks.
But you want to level up. Everything available is either too basic, too technical, or designed for someone earlier in their career.
You don’t need a prompt engineering tutorial. You need to understand how AI changes the work you already do well.
The difference
One day. A fundamentally different workflow.
Clarity on what AI actually handles well
Not everything. Not nothing. You'll learn exactly which parts of your workflow AI can take on and where your judgment remains irreplaceable.
See how AI fits into real workflows
Through case studies and hands-on training, you'll see exactly how AI has been applied in professional workflows - then build and test those patterns yourself.
Understand the opportunities and the guardrails
AI opens real possibilities, but not without trade-offs. You'll learn to weigh what AI enables against what it demands, so you can set boundaries that match your own standards.
The AI frame your organization needs
Whether you lead a team or run a business, you'll develop the fluency to make informed AI adoption decisions across the workflows that matter most.
Who this is for
Built for professionals and business owners.
- Hold leadership, management, or specialist roles
- Know AI matters but haven't found the right way to fully leverage it
- Have tried self-study and found it doesn't stick
- Want practical application, not theory
- Want an in-person learning experience
You don’t need any technical background. You do need to be good at your job. The skills that got you here (delegation, judgment, pattern recognition) are exactly what make someone effective with AI.
Not for: Entry-level professionals, developers building AI products, or anyone looking for a certification.
The day
The case study method, applied to AI.
Case studies you'll recognize. Hands-on practice you'll actually use. Every session pairs focused instruction with real business scenarios so you leave with working knowledge, not just notes.
Morning
How AI Thinks ... Where It Breaks
Build a realistic mental model of what AI can and can't do. Work through cases where AI excels and cases where it fails so you develop judgment, not just habits.
Midday
Your Workflow, Reconstructed
Map your actual daily work against AI capabilities. Identify the 3-5 tasks where AI creates immediate leverage. We will discuss how to leverage AI to create exponential value in the work.
Afternoon
In Depth Application
Apply AI to the work that matters most analysis, writing, decision support, communication. Practice with real-world complexity.

Questions
Good questions deserve clear answers.
Do I need any technical background?
No. This workshop is designed for professionals who are experts in their own field, not in technology. If you can delegate to a smart colleague, you can work effectively with AI.
What AI tools will we use?
We work with the leading AI tools available today, but the workshop isn't about any specific product. It's about building the judgment and workflow patterns that transfer across tools - even as the technology evolves.
Is this a "beginner" course?
No, and it's not an "advanced" course either. It's designed for experienced professionals at any stage of AI adoption. Whether you use ChatGPT periodically or daily, the case study method meets you where you are and pushes you further.
How is this different from online AI courses?
Three ways. First, it's in person which is why 95% of online courses go unfinished and this one actually changes behavior. Second, it's built for professionals, not general audiences. Third, it focuses on workflow transformation, not tool tutorials.
Can I send my team?
We recommend that leaders experience the workshop first, then make informed decisions about team training. We offer group arrangements for organizations. Reach out to discuss.
What's the cancellation policy?
Full refund if you cancel more than 14 days before the workshop. 50% refund within 7 days. Within 7 days, we'll transfer your spot to a future cohort.
