"Leadership is a choice, not a position." -Stephen Covey
Leadership is a key skill not only for managers but also those who are formally not in charge. Organizations and communities need people who will lead and influence others even if it is only in certain situations.
Unfortunately, many people "Hold Back" because they lack the skills and training to emerge as leaders or to be a more effective leader. The result is that organizations are not as effective as they could be, teams are not as effective, and individuals negatively impact their career prospects. The world needs great leaders no matter what your title is.

My focus is helping professionals use ChatGPT and AI with more confidence, clarity, and practical purpose. I’m also in the top 3% of ChatGPT users worldwide (According to OpenAI) which means I spend a lot of hands-on time testing what actually works in real use and not just chasing the latest AI hype.
Many people know AI is important, but they feel overwhelmed by the constant updates, confusing features, and pressure to keep up. They wonder: What should I actually use AI for? Am I prompting it correctly? How do I avoid generic answers? What is safe to put into AI? How do I avoid losing my own judgment?
That is where I can help.
My style is friendly, practical, and engaging. I like to make complex topics feel simple, useful, and even fun. Instead of flooding you with theory or buzzwords, I focus on real workplace problems turning scattered thoughts into useful next steps.
My courses are designed to be clear, practical, and easy to apply. Instead of overwhelming you with theory or technical jargon, I focus on examples, prompts, workflows, and step-by-step demonstrations you can actually use.

By Terence Richardson on 4/2/2026
I liked the course. I found it valuable as a leader and I hope my team benefitted from it as well. There are a lot of "common sense" concepts in this course but it is good to be reminded of them and provided context. Also, there was definitely some new concepts I hadn't been exposed to before. All in all, a great course!

Presenter is clearly engaged in the topic, speaks with genuine energy and good pacing, and provides concrete actionable guidance, with examples.
By Gabriel Reyer on 2/25/2026
Seemed a bit repetitive at certain points and a good portion seemed more geared towards people already in leadership roles, but there were some very good takeaways from this course that I have already begun using.
By Tammy Kittell on 2/25/2026
