AI First Leaders Getaway · Level 2b

You have the same AI as everyone else.
This is where you build the edge.

Three sessions. Your real challenge. A method for thinking with AI — not just using it.

Two Saturdays + Midweek Livestream 15 Seats · Small Cohort
The Gap

You know AI can help.
Applying it to real leadership decisions is different.

You've brought AI into a real leadership problem. The answer came back polished — but generic. It didn't know your team, your organisation, or what was actually at stake. Conviction that AI matters is not the same as being able to think with it.

"I know AI is serious. But when I use it on what actually matters — the output still feels like it could have been written for anyone."

The gap is not scepticism. It's the absence of a method for thinking with AI on problems that require real judgment.

How AI feels right now

A fast search engine that answers what you typed — not the problem you actually have. Every session starts from zero.

What is possible

AI that already knows your context and how you think — without being briefed each time. Output that feels like it came from inside the meeting.

The Distinction

Two kinds of leaders who use AI.
The difference is not a better prompt.

Most leaders

Open AI. Type a problem. Get a generic answer. Try again with different words. Still generic. Close it. Try again next week.

After this programme

Open an AI that already knows your role, your challenge, and the way you think. Start with substance, not setup. The first response already understands who is asking.

The name for this skill is Chat Mastery — the ability to think alongside AI deliberately, not by trial and error. This programme is where you build it.

How It Works

Two Saturdays. Eight modules.
One shift in how you lead with AI.

Every module ends with something you apply — not a concept, but a practice you take back to work.

Saturday 1 · Foundation Mastery

01

From Hype to (Business) Reality

Build the right mental model first. What AI can actually do — so your conversations with it start from accuracy, not inflated expectations.

02

Dialogue with AI

The core practice. How to structure a conversation so AI responds to what you actually mean — not just what you typed. Phrasing, context, iteration.

03

Grounded Thinking

Using dialogue to think, not just to get answers. The patterns that turn AI into a genuine thinking partner — not a search engine.

04

Business Process × AI

Take one real process from your work. Direct AI through it with precision. Leave with a specific workflow — not a general idea to figure out later.

Between Sessions One practice brief: apply what you built to a real situation. The cohort reconvenes online — present, get feedback, walk into Saturday 2 already ahead.

Saturday 2 · Applied Leadership

05

Personal Knowledge Management

Conversations that capture, organize, and activate what you know. AI handles retrieval so you can focus on the thinking.

06

Writing Companion

Direct AI through conversation to produce finished writing — strategic memos, executive briefs, team comms in your voice. You steer by chat, not configure.

07

AI Creative Partner

The same conversation skills, applied beyond text. Images, visuals, and presentations — multimodal output without going technical.

08

Personalized AI

AI configured for how you specifically work — your context, your patterns, your role. The shift from generic assistant to a tool that already knows what you need.

The design principle

Your work is the curriculum. Not someone else's case study.

  • Every module uses your real context, not a generic example
  • 15 seats — 15 different leaders, working challenges that actually matter
  • Invite only, for AIF alumni — so the room already speaks the same language
What You Gain

Three shifts you keep.

01 — Chat Mastery

You stop asking AI questions. You start directing it with precision — in strategy sessions, in ambiguous calls, in decisions that matter.

02 — Leadership Integration

Your conversations with AI carry real context: your constraints, your stakes, your judgment. AI responds at a different level when you do.

03 — Peer Cohort

Fifteen leaders working the same shift. The room itself becomes a resource you carry forward.

"A junior on my team produces better visuals with AI. But mine has structure and depth that only comes from years of experience. That combination is the real edge."

Is This Right for You?

This programme has one entry signal.

Entry Signal

You know AI can help — but when you apply it to real leadership work, the output is still generic. You want a method, not another tool demo.

Not right for you: You want a prompt library. Those are free — and they won't change how you work.

Senior leaders who tried and stalled

You use AI. The output is fast but generic. You know this can be more — you just haven't found the method yet.

Executives going deeper

You've done multiple AI sessions. You want one where you actually apply it to a problem that matters.

Leaders who need to model it

You're expected to guide your team on AI. To lead it credibly, you need to have done it yourself — not just approved the budget.

Common Questions

Things leaders ask
before they commit.

How is this different from AI training my team already attended?

Most training is about tools and prompts. This programme is about how you — as a decision-maker — can use AI to think through problems that require real judgment. Different level, different work.

Will the sessions address real strategic challenges, or generic cases?

Your real challenge is the material. In Session 1 you bring a decision or problem you're currently sitting with. The programme runs on that — not a hypothetical.

Is this for me, or for someone on my team?

This is for you. Not a delegate. The skill being built is how you think alongside AI — on the kind of work that doesn't get delegated.

I already use AI. What will I walk away with that's new?

Most leaders who use AI use it reactively — ask, read, move on. This programme builds a method: how to structure complex problems so AI adds real thinking, not just text. The difference shows up in the first session.

Three sessions seems short. Is that enough?

The programme is compressed by design. Each session runs on live work, not lectures. What takes months of trial and error normally takes three focused sessions with a framework.

How does the programme fit into a packed schedule?

The programme uses a HyFlex AHA format — designed so learning runs alongside real work, not against it. Active: every session runs on challenges you're already carrying. Holistic: attend in-person, online, or hybrid — whatever the week allows. Adaptive: pace and format flex around how you work, not the other way around.
