Bridging the gap between executive strategy and practical workforce adoption. We are frequent speakers and workshop hosts for leading organizations committed to safe, effective AI integration.
“Julie and Tara delivered an incredible workshop. They have a real gift for making something that feels complex suddenly feel simple. Their communication is clear, their slides are sharp, and their live demos made the session incredibly practical and packed with value. They work brilliantly as a duo—bouncing off each other in a way that keeps the session fast-paced, engaging, and full of energy. They’re deeply knowledgeable, generous with their insights, and I’d absolutely trust them to guide me on applying AI in my own work."
