The Problem
AI is reshaping every industry, and leaders are expected to have an AI strategy. But most executives didn't sign up to become technologists. You're navigating board questions about AI, vendor pitches that all sound the same, and team anxiety about job displacement, all while trying to run your actual business.
The real risk isn't that AI will replace leaders. It's that leaders who don't understand AI strategically will fall behind those who do. You don't need to code. You need to lead.
The Solution: 1-on-1 Executive AI Coaching
Executive AI Coaching is a structured, ongoing partnership where you get strategic guidance tailored to your specific leadership challenges. Each session is a focused 60-minute conversation designed to help you make better decisions, faster, about AI in your organization.
This is personalized, one-on-one coaching tailored to your specific AI challenges. It meets you where you are and adapts to your goals, your industry, and your pace.
AI Strategy Coaching for Founders
If you're a founder or CEO building a company in the AI era, the questions are different. Where do we bet? What do we build versus buy? Which workflows should be AI-native from day one? How do we hire for an AI-augmented team? I work with founders 1-on-1 to translate AI capability into business strategy, not just tool selection. You ship faster because you're making the right calls earlier.

Why Work With Me
I'm not a consultant who reads about AI. I build with it every day. I founded Leadership in Change, a 5,000+ subscriber AI leadership newsletter, run three AI-powered businesses, and I teach practitioners at Cozora. My coaching is grounded in practical experience, not theory. I speak your language as a leader first, not a technologist. Bilingual English and Spanish.

Coaching is built for individual leaders. When the work shifts from "I need to make a decision" to "I need my team to get through this together," a workshop usually does more in three hours than three months of coaching can.
The two focus areas are AI Without Atrophy (for the broader team, so they use AI without losing the skills they're built on) and The Hesitation Gap (for the leadership team, to move past quiet team resistance). $7,500 per engagement (50% off for the first 10 companies via the launch page). Each includes a pre-workshop assessment for every participant, a 3-hour live workshop, and a full PDF report. Up to 20 participants.
