Plain chat
Start with what AI produces when it doesn’t know you, your work, or your judgment.
AI in Practice · Classes
Practical AI classes for experienced leaders.
Build useful judgment, make real decisions, and leave with something you can use. AI Guardrails is the first fully developed class.
Featured Paid Class
Build Your Personal AI Guardrails
You know how to evaluate an AI tool. This is where you decide how AI belongs in your work.
In this 90-minute working Lab, you’ll map your real work, data, clients, and responsibilities. We’ll make the decisions together, pressure-test the unclear parts, and turn them into a one-page document you can use when a new tool or client request puts the question in front of you.
Registration closes Sunday, July 19 at 5:00 PM Pacific, or when all ten seats are filled.
Recurring Free Showcase Class
See what changes when AI knows how you work.
Short, practical classes for leaders. I use one real executive task to show what changes when AI has useful context, clear instructions, the right tools, and a place for the work to live.
This is where I show you the system around the prompt. You’ll see the same task move from a generic chat response to something grounded in how a real person thinks, decides, and works.
Useful context
Add the role, memory, instructions, and source material the AI actually needs.
A working artifact
Turn the result into something persistent and useful, not another answer buried in a chat.
