AI Leadership Workshop · From Curiosity to Clarity

AI is no longer the question.
Execution is.

Led by Jeff Wilser
AI keynote speaker, journalist, and host of the AI-Curious podcast
Co-founder of The Drawing Room: AI & Leadership Salon

Your people are already experimenting — some eagerly, some cautiously, some not at all. The hard part is turning that scattered interest into a shared, practical plan. This hands-on workshop helps your leaders find where AI improves real work, reduce uncertainty, and leave with a 90-day roadmap.

Half-day & full-day workshops · For leaders & teams · No tech skills required
The Workshop Experience

Built around your real work

Not a lecture. Not a generic AI demo. A hands-on working session built on the challenges already inside your organization — so your team sees where AI is useful, where risk needs guardrails, and what to do next.

01

Useful AI, Not AI Theater

A shift from abstract speculation to practical applications: better decisions, better workflows, better questions.

02

Strategic Partner Sprints

Use AI to surface blind spots, stress-test plans, explore growth ideas, and sharpen messy problems.

03

Use-Case Exploration

Find opportunities inside your sales, marketing, operations, finance, HR, customer service, analytics, and internal communication.

04

Risk Radar

Identify the risks attached to useful ideas: privacy, accuracy, bias, autonomy, culture, and ROI.

05

90-Day AI Roadmap

Translate the session into a concrete plan — what to pilot, who owns it, how to judge progress, and the guardrails that keep it safe.

The goal is not to “use AI.” The goal is to find where AI is actually useful.

The Framework

The Curiosity Canvas

Jeff's practical framework for finding where AI can actually help. In the workshop, Jeff guides your team through a hands-on exercise that turns broad AI curiosity into specific, testable opportunities. It starts with better questions, not a better demo.

01

Drudgery Dump

What work is repetitive, tedious, or quietly draining the team's energy?

ExamplesMeeting recaps · inbox triage · first drafts · status updates
02

Quick-ish Wins

What can be tested in days, not quarters?

ExamplesLow-risk pilots · internal workflows · fast proof
03

Data Treasure Hunt

What useful information is already hiding inside the organization?

ExamplesRFPs · sales calls · support tickets · field notes
04

Agents & Moonshots

What becomes possible when AI moves from helper to workflow partner?

ExamplesInternal assistants · copilots · agentic workflows
The Output

Your 90-day AI roadmap

Because “we should do more with AI” is not a plan. Every pilot leaves the room with a next step, an owner, a way to judge progress, and a guardrail.

01

Pilot Idea

What should we test?

02

Tiny First Step

What can start tomorrow?

03

Week 2 Proof

What shows it's alive?

04

30-Day Win

What benefit should appear?

05

90-Day Decision

Keep · Kill · Expand

06

Guardrail

What risk must be managed?

Why Jeff

A translator inside the AI conversation

Jeff Wilser has spent his career making complex ideas clear. As a journalist, author, podcast host, and event producer, the job has always been the same: go to the room, ask the questions, find the signal, and translate it for everyone else.

He hosts AI-Curious — 100+ long-form conversations with the CEOs, scientists, and strategists shaping AI — and co-founded The Drawing Room: AI & Leadership Salon, convening senior leaders around the questions behind AI adoption.

He doesn't teach AI from the sidelines. He lives inside the conversation — then brings the useful parts into the room.
