EI & AI Trainer/Facilitator | Build AI-Ready Confident Leaders & Teams

Most companies have rolled out AI tools. Most teams still aren’t using them well. Research shows the majority of organizations report an AI skills gap even after providing training because adoption isn’t a content problem, it’s a human one. That gap is exactly what I close. I help leaders and teams move from cautious or anxious to confident, capable, and responsible everyday AI users turning expensive AI licenses into real productivity, without losing the human judgment, trust, and creativity that drive performance. What I deliver: • AI Leadership Sessions & Keynotes: For leaders and managers: responsible AI decision-making, leading teams through change, and building an AI-ready culture. Approachable for non-technical audiences, interactive by design. • AI Adoption Workshops: Hands-on, role-based sessions that move people from fear to confident use; practical prompting, AI’s real capabilities and limits, and responsible use built into daily workflows. • AI Champions & Learning Circles: Peer-led adoption programs that build internal champions, reduce resistance, and make AI use stick after the training ends. • Responsible & Ready: Sessions on ethical, accountable AI use and AI literacy increasingly required as regulation (including the EU AI Act) raises the bar on workforce readiness. Recent engagements include: Live virtual AI sessions with over 700 participants for a Fortune 100 organization and instructor-led AI and emotional intelligence courses on Udemy covering responsible AI use, leading through change, and the human skills that make adoption stick. Why clients choose me: 25+ years in organizational change, transformation, and business development — including 14 years at EY. I’m a Certified Master Trainer in the MSCEIT®2 (the leading ability-based emotional intelligence method, with co-creator Dr. David R. Caruso), a B2B sales enablement and Miller Heiman Master Trainer, and trained in William Bridges Transition Management. Creator of Emotional Maths® and the SUMMS™ Blueprint, and author of Stop Wasting Time With AI: A Practical, Emotionally Intelligent Method for Using AI Well. The result: training that’s commercial, practical, and genuinely human. People leave ready to use AI well, and leaders leave equipped to guide them, with human judgment firmly in the lead. Tell me about your team and where adoption is stalling, and I’ll show you exactly how I’d close the gap.
