The Program · Six Sessions · 3-Month Sequential Cohort

Six sessions your managers move through, not sit through.

A sequential cohort over 3 months, or sessions selected individually. Each one builds the next, from leading themselves to setting their team's AI direction.

1

Leading Self in the AI Era

Grounded leaders build grounded teams.

Managers audit their own patterns and blind spots, and build the resilience to lead through rapid change without losing their footing.

2

Leading Your Team Through AI Change

From fear to forward.

The language, empathy, and psychological safety managers need to close the gap between avoidance and adoption.

3

Augmenting Humans & Reinforcing Goals

From ambiguity to operating agreements.

Introduces the Four Capacities framework, plus governance norms and AI-use expectations that cultivate human strengths rather than erode them.

4

Communication & Feedback

The conversations that hold teams together.

They don't go away; AI makes them more important. Tools to build safety, sharpen communication, and use AI well for drafting, tone, and hard-conversation prep.

5

Delegation & Coaching Mindset

Deciding what deserves human attention.

Managers map workflows, build delegation frameworks, and develop their people through change rather than just directing them through it.

6

Setting a Team AI North Star

A manager who can't articulate direction can't lead.

Managers craft and communicate their team's AI direction, and reinforce the human elements that define their best work.

The Gap This Closes

The manager in the middle is absorbing every emotion about AI.

The pressure point

Managers set the tone for how their teams relate to AI: with curiosity and discernment, or with anxiety and resistance.

They're accountable for team performance, absorbing pressure from above, and leading people who have every reaction to AI.

Leading with Purpose is a robust manager-training program with hands-on training and peer coaching.

70%

of successful AI adoption is people and process, not the algorithm.

Manager training builds self-awareness, language, and a personal AI North Star; team workshops deliver shared language, a team charter, and a prioritized AI roadmap from the team's own work.
