Interactive, hands-on sessions where your team learns to use AI tools effectively in their actual day-to-day workflows.

My workshops blend hands-on AI practice with real-world workflow design to help teams gain confidence with AI.

AI workflow and adoption consulting

What it is

I help you figure out where AI fits in your workflows, which changes are worth making, and how to get your team actually using them. This is practical guidance for leaders who want AI working inside real processes, not just more AI hype.

Who it's for

Teams that have started using AI and are hitting friction — inconsistent output, unclear standards, uneven participation. Organizations that need to make smart decisions about where to put the effort and how to make a new way of working stick.

What we cover

  • Workflow analysis: Where is the friction, and what would it be worth to fix?
  • Tool and platform fit: Which AI tools suit the work — and is there something off the shelf that already solves it?
  • Standards and guardrails: What does good look like for quality, voice, and privacy?
  • Adoption strategies: How do you get teams to actually use AI tools effectively?
  • Measuring what changed: How do you tell whether any of it is working?

My consulting approach

I don't sell you expensive reports that sit on a shelf. Instead, I work with you to:

  • Map how the work actually gets done today, and where it breaks down
  • Prioritize changes based on feasibility and business value
  • Build the standards, prompt libraries, and resources your team will use
  • Leave your people able to sustain it without me

The goal is to help you move from "Should we do AI?" to "Here's exactly what we're doing and why."

Typical engagement: Scoped to your situation, with ongoing advisory available

Custom AI systems

What it is

I build custom AI tools tailored to how you and your team actually work. Using no-code platforms, I deliver professional results in weeks, not months. These tools can include email and communications management systems, workflow automations, internal knowledge bases, and training systems.

You get strategic, secure, human-in-the-loop AI solutions without hiring developers or agencies. Whether you're a leader who needs to stay on top of what matters or a team that needs to move faster, I translate your needs into AI applications people actually use.

Who it's for

Teams and leaders with a specific, consequential problem that existing software doesn't solve — who want a tool built around how they actually work.

It's also for teams adopting AI who don't know where to start, non-technical teams who want real answers instead of hype or jargon, and organizations that want their people using AI confidently and effectively, not just experimenting with it.

Examples of what I build

  • Communication dashboards: AI-powered email triage, categorization, delegation, draft generation, and analysis
  • AI knowledge assistants: Specialized assistants trained on your content, processes, and brand voice
  • Multi-agent workflows: AI systems that handle complex, multi-step business processes
  • Sales training platforms: Multi-agent AI systems for objection-handling practice, deal strategy, and automated feedback

Service categories

Workflow automation

  • Connect AI to your existing systems (CRM, project management, etc.)
  • Automate repetitive content or data tasks
  • Custom chatbots for internal or customer-facing use

AI communications & triage

  • AI email triage, prioritization, and draft generation
  • Smart routing and delegation of incoming messages
  • Dashboards that surface what needs your attention

Training & practice systems

  • AI roleplay tools for sales, customer service, or interview practice
  • Automated coaching and feedback systems
  • Performance tracking and progress analytics

Timeline: Agreed with you during scoping, before any work begins
