DOUBLE YOUR TEAM IN ONE DAY WITH AI
AI is a true human resource, and, believe it or not, everyone on your team is ready to manage their own digital coworkers that help them achieve their goals and the organization’s mission and vision. MIT studies prove it: strategic AI use returns a 25% minimum increase in productivity and a 40% increase in work quality for every team member, from the CEO to the admin, who knows how to interact with and manage their AI coworker team. Prepare for a taste of what’s possible and to see how AI can transform the workforce, and the world, starting now.
how AI CAN Create a new generation of CRITICAL THINKERS
You’ve heard the news: “AI is turning our brains to mush.” From students to employees, the concern is that AI is being outsourced to replace thinking. MIT studies prove that it doesn’t have to be this way. But the way you configure and engage with AI makes all the difference. We’ll move from AI as a thought replacer to AI as a thought partner, and you’ll see how AI can actually create, nurture, and coach an entire new generation of critical thinkers!
TAME Your ORGANIZATION’S BIGGEST THREAT: EGO
The biggest barrier to transformation in your organization isn’t tech, it’s identity. Ego hides in expertise, culture, caution, and status. When AI threatens authority and relevance, organizations don’t just resist change; they defend the systems holding them back. We’ll reframe ego as a strategic leadership challenge, not a personality flaw, and identify the hidden ego dynamics that silently block innovation, AI adoption, and cultural evolution.
