Your Team Will Build AI Solutions Without You—Starting Week One
We train your team to work with AI as strategic partners—not just software. They build permanent capabilities that keep delivering results long after we leave.
It's 7 PM again. Your team is still manually transferring data between systems that should talk to each other. Sound familiar?
Scattered Data
Customer data lives in five different spreadsheets.
Manual Copy-Paste
Your sales team copies information from the CRM into email templates by hand.
Slow Approvals
Approvals require three emails and two days of waiting.
Friday Reports
Every report means someone spending half their Friday pulling numbers from four different systems.
According to McKinsey, knowledge workers spend 60% of their time on administrative tasks instead of strategic work. For a mid-sized company, that translates to $75,000-$150,000 annually in lost productivity.
Why Training Hasn't Worked Before
You've sent people to courses. They came back excited for a week, then forgot everything. The problem isn't motivation—it's that traditional training teaches concepts without building systems that stick.
The problem isn't that you lack the tools.
The problem is you haven't decided to make the time to pick them up.
This program is that decision.
We Teach Your Team to Work With AI as Strategic Partners
Not as a fancy tool. Not as a temporary fix. As an intelligent collaborator your organization owns forever.
The Difference
Most AI consultants solve your problem and leave. Online courses teach theory nobody remembers. We take a different approach.
We don't teach you how to fish. We teach you how to create the AI that helps you fish.
Permanent Capability
Your team builds and maintains AI solutions without outside help.
Working Systems
Every session delivers functional automation, not theoretical concepts.
Strategic Partnership
Your people collaborate WITH AI as thinking partners, not button-pushers.
Knowledge That Stays
Structured systems ensure learning persists and compounds over time.
"The future is already here – it's just not very evenly distributed."
— William Gibson
The Lead With AI Accelerator
A focused 9-hour program we deliver over 3 weeks that transforms your key team members into independent AI builders.
Identify & Build Your First Win
Your team maps their biggest time drains, identifies 5+ automation opportunities, and builds their first working AI-powered workflow before the session ends. They leave day one with something functional.
Connect Your Disconnected Systems
Your team connects your top 3 systems that should talk to each other but don't. Live data flows between platforms. Manual copy-paste tasks disappear. Real problems get solved with solutions they built themselves.
Independence & Your 90-Day Roadmap
Your team completes their AI toolkit, documents everything in a structured knowledge base they own, and creates a 90-day action roadmap for continued growth. They graduate ready to build without us.
Who Should Attend
10-15 key employees across departments who:
- Touch critical business processes daily
- Have authority to implement changes
- Will champion AI adoption across the organization

Who's Behind This
Lead With AI was founded by a practitioner who got tired of watching companies waste money on AI training that didn't stick.
After years of building AI implementation frameworks for organizations across US, Europe, and Latin America—including financial institutions, manufacturing companies, and service businesses—we developed a methodology focused on one thing: making your team self-sufficient.
We don't believe in creating dependency. We believe in building capability. Every program we deliver is designed to make us unnecessary.
Trained teams across banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and professional services
Methodology tested with financial institutions handling sensitive data and strict security requirements
Framework built on practical implementation, not theoretical concepts
