Joe’s AI Services Qualifications
Experience level: Vice President
I created UpLeveled to make it easier to practice the tough conversations that are hard to teach in a class or presentation. There are endless situations to practice, different approaches to coaching them, and no single "right" way to teach these skills. I designed UpLeveled so coaches and experts can create AI role-play experiences customized to their own coaching model, brand, niche, and industry. If you have expertise you want your clients to practice - not just learn about - I can help you turn it into an interactive AI role-play experience.
