AI-Ready Manager

Join us for a live, interactive preview of the AI-Ready Manager experience—designed to help managers use AI to improve decision-making, communication, and leadership effectiveness.

This is not a technical session.

It’s about how managers lead effectively in an AI-enabled workplace.

In these 2-hour virtual sessions, you’ll experience a hands-on “sampler” of the program, including:

  • The manager’s role in an AI-enabled workplace—opportunities, limitations, and where human judgment matters most
  • A simple framework for writing dramatically better prompts
  • How to use AI as a thought partner—not just a task tool
  • Ways to strengthen coaching, feedback, and communication with AI

Whether you’re exploring AI for your organization or looking to build your own capability, this session will give you practical, immediately usable approaches.

Two Sessions Available:

  • April 24: Manager Readiness in an AI-Enabled Workplace + Prompting Made Simple
  • May 7: AI as a Strategic Thought Partner + Enhanced Coaching & Communication

Both sessions run 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Pacific Time via Zoom.
