What we actually do

AI skills are only the beginning.

The goal isn't to teach you another tool. It's to change what you can accomplish with the time you already have. You'll learn where AI belongs in your work, build it into the workflows that matter, and develop the judgment to use it well.

We don't start with AI tools. We start with your week.

Where your week goes

Some work needs you. Most of it doesn't.

We start by sorting your week into the work only you can do and the work AI can carry. Then we move the second list off your plate.

Hours that drain you
  • Building decks from a blank page
  • Triaging an inbox that never ends
  • Writing up meeting notes and follow-ups
  • Pulling numbers for a quick question
  • First drafts of performance reviews
Hours that need you
  • Setting strategy and making the hard calls
  • Coaching and growing your people
  • The relationships that move the business
  • Thinking time you haven't had in months
  • Being home for dinner

Meet Shay Davis

I was the overloaded executive. AI gave me my week back.

I've put AI to work on real work since ChatGPT launched in November 2022. As a VP running delivery, operations, HR, and a 20-plus-person team, it's how I got my week back. Now I help women executives do the same.

More time in your day. More time to be human.

You don't need a new career in AI. You need AI working inside the career you've already built, and your evenings back.
