Why This Workshop?

If you just watched our video, you know: “Getting started with AI” isn’t as simple as flipping a switch or signing up for the latest tool. There’s a lot of noise out there—and a lot of risk for messy, expensive mistakes if you jump in without a plan.
 
That’s why we’re bringing you a practical, interactive session in Atlanta (with a virtual option if demand is high!) designed for leaders, managers, and teams who want to:
  • Cut through the hype and understand what “AI” really means for your business
  • Pinpoint and fix operational friction—from clunky tools to misaligned KPIs
  • Get your people and culture ready for change (not just your tech stack!)
  • Leave with actionable tools: You’ll complete an assessment and walk away with a custom roadmap for your own organization
  • Ask real questions, get real answers: Includes a follow-up “Ask Me Anything” session a few days after the workshop, so you can apply what you’ve learned and get support on your real-world challenges

Who Should Attend?

  • Business and technical leaders responsible for change and innovation
  • Managers and teams curious about AI but unsure where to start
  • Anyone who wants practical, people-focused strategies—not just another tech pitch 

What's Included?

  • Live, in-person workshop (Atlanta) with lunch provided
  • Take-home assessment & roadmap for your organization
  • Follow-up AMA session (virtual) to get your questions answered after you’ve had time to try things out
  • Bonus: Network with peers facing similar challenges!
  • Date, Cost and Location are all still in the works.
  • Most likely in 2-3 hours on Wed in October, in the Alpharetta area and around $50 per person.

Meet Your Coaches

Shawn Yates

I work with leaders that feel stuck and not able to meet customer demands or scale any further in delivery and operations. They feel like they have a lot of wasted time and energy, conflicting, changing or unclear priorities, or challenges in getting teams to work together consistently.

If you are saying things like, “Our goalposts keep moving,” “Our delivery is inconsistent and can’t keep up with demand or growth,”  then we need to chat. As a leadership and process improvement consultant, I help put in place frameworks and strategies that drive efficiency, empower teams, and create sustainable growth.
