Leland+ for Build with AI

GenAI Career Applications to Boost Your Trajectory

"The AI live demos were mind-blowing!" AI is changing how we work, but knowing how to use it to accelerate your career is a skill in itself. In my most popular 45-minute workshop, I share practical, real-world strategies for leveraging AI to boost productivity, strengthen your professional brand, and navigate career growth with intention. Drawing from my experience at Google and work with 1,300+ professionals, I break down applied AI use cases focusing on tools you can implement immediately. This session is built for professionals who want to work smarter, communicate with clarity, and bridge the gap between where they are today and the next level of their careers. It’s become my most in-demand and popular workshop across organizations and universities such as Georgia Tech, Northwestern, and the University of Washington. As you read above, attendees frequently describe the live AI demos as “mind-blowing,” with the majority saying that they'd try them out that same day.

How I Use AI at Work: Real-World Applications | Google PM & Career Coach [6/19/2026] (Recording)

“AI doesn’t replace great professionals. It amplifies the way they think, communicate, and execute.” AI is rapidly changing how professionals work, communicate, and solve problems across every industry. The people gaining the biggest advantage aren’t just using AI casually, they’re integrating it strategically into their workflows to save time, improve work quality, and focus more energy on high-impact tasks. In this workshop, I share practical, real-world strategies for using AI effectively in professional environments while still maintaining authentic thinking, communication, and decision-making. Drawing from the ways I personally use AI in day-to-day work, I walk through how tools like NotebookLM and other AI platforms can improve productivity across project management, presentations, process optimization, and cross-functional collaboration. Through real examples, attendees will learn how to use AI to build visually compelling slide decks, summarize large amounts of information quickly, and create stronger presentation narratives. We’ll also explore how AI can generate process flows and detailed workflow diagrams that help teams identify bottlenecks, improve operations, and make more informed design and business decisions. The session also dives into one of the most valuable AI applications in the workplace today: project management and prioritization. Attendees will learn how to leverage AI tools to organize projects, manage information more effectively, streamline documentation, and focus effort on the highest-priority initiatives instead of administrative work. We’ll also cover how to use AI for high-impact professional communication while still preserving your authentic voice. From drafting cross-functional updates to structuring executive-ready messaging, the goal is to help attendees use AI as a strategic assistant rather than a replacement for critical thinking and communication skills. This workshop is designed for students and professionals who want to understand practical AI applications, improve their workflows, and learn how to use AI tools more intentionally and effectively in professional settings. Across industries, one trend is becoming increasingly clear: professionals who know how to leverage AI effectively are creating significant advantages for themselves and their teams. RSVP today.
