Things were going great, but then AI came and ate my job! Is there a way AI can help? Yes, AI will teach you if you know what to ask. It starts with understanding AI and how to use it better than anyone else. It changes every day, so it's easy to get lost. With our community here in Atlanta, you can learn with others and stay on track.. Join our in-person, hands-on workshop designed for new and experienced consultants & solopreneurs to learn about AI first thinking. You'll gain AI fluency in understanding how AI works and which tools are best at specific tasks, how to customize and control each LLM. Walk away with an AI first mindset and solutions you can put to work immediately. ABOUT THIS EVENT The consulting landscape has never looked more promising — or more competitive. Whether you've just decided to go out on your own, been recently laid off and are exploring what's next, or are simply tired of building someone else's dream, consulting is calling. And the consultants who are winning right now have one thing in common: they're using AI to do in hours what used to take days. This free, 90-minute hands-on workshop is designed specifically for people who are new to consulting or making the leap for the first time. No jargon. No theory. Just practical tools, live demonstrations, and real use cases that apply to your work from day one.
