What to Learn When AI Can Do the Rest [8/13/2026] (Recording)

Everyone says to learn AI. Almost nobody tells you which parts, and guessing wrong costs you months. This session walks through the major AI career paths and how much technical depth each one actually needs. Some of them reward going deep on one narrow thing. Most reward pairing AI with domain knowledge you already have. The harder question is what's worth learning at all.

What we'll cover: - The major AI career paths and how to choose between them - How much technical depth you actually need - Specialist vs. generalist - Pairing domain expertise with AI - Durable skills vs. temporary tools You'll leave with a clear direction and a prioritized learning roadmap.

Winning Essays from My HBS Admits [7/17/2026] (Recording)

Many applicants find a way to write at least one strong essay. But those who really maximize the essay-writing process develop clear narrative through-lines that connect the dots of their life, and articulate how they'll contributions to their target brand. Their two-dimensional writing brings out a three-dimensional personality. They have a “brand”. You know what they’re all about. This event will draw from example essays written by successful admits who I've personally coached, and helped land a spot at one or more top MBA programs.

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.
