Event Details

We can all feel a little overwhelmed by AI & the speed of which it is impacting our day to day lives – but what if someone could break it down into practical and useful ways that anyone can adopt?

We are excited to have Kellie Bradley lead us in this interactive KEYSHOPTM where we will explore how AI can become a trusted business collaborator while learning practical techniques we can put to use immediately!  Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI or already experimenting with it, this session is designed to meet you where you are!
Kellie will cover how we:
• View AI as a practical leadership advantage rather than simply another technology.
• Build a strong foundation that produces more accurate, useful AI interactions.
• Customize AI to reflect their business, customers, and leadership style.
• Perform meaningful competitive analysis in a fraction of the traditional time.
• Apply AI to everyday business responsibilities, including communication, organization, and planning.
• Recognize where AI adds value and where leadership, experience, and judgment remain essential.

We will also learn how we can put AI to work every day – exploring practical ways AI can support the daily responsibilities of busy professionals
• Email management
• Calendar preparation
• Meeting preparation and follow-up
• Daily prioritization
• Business communication
• Brainstorming
• Administrative support
• Balancing professional and personal responsibilities
