Testimonials
What Clients Are Saying
Don't just take our word for it — here's what the people who've worked with Emily have to say.
Emily was our 'go-to' person for instructional design! She created and designed multiple leadership development programs for 700 leaders at Uber. She did an impeccable job understanding our needs and context, working under tight deadlines, shifting the gears when needed, and building high-quality training products ranging from in-person/virtual training to self-led resources. On top of that, she is very pleasant to work with and I truly hope we'll have more opportunities to work together in the future.
Victoria Feldman, Global Learning Manager at Uber
This was the first online course I have ever taken. It was so well organized and I was quickly relieved of my stress for keeping up with an online course. The expectations were clear and the projects and activities were practical and fun. Emily gave very thoughtful and helpful feedback throughout the course. You could tell how passionate she was about teaching with technology and understanding how people learn best.
MSU Graduate Student
Emily is one of the most consummate professionals with whom I've ever had the pleasure of working. Adjectives that come to mind immediately: hyper professional, reliable, excellent at client management, masterful at instructional design, ambitious, a life-long learner. Most impressively, Emily is a big picture thinker. Her ability to contextualize even the most tactical of instructional design tasks and understand its value to the overall learner experience is beyond impressive.
Cyndy Witz-Gebhardt, Learning & Development Leader
AI consulting, workshops, and training programs built to help your team adopt AI with confidence — and actually use it.
AI Consulting That Thinks Like You Do
Real prompt engineering. Real workflow transformation. Real results — no hype, no buzzwords, no BS. Welcome to the future of how professionals work with AI.
The Problem
Most AI Training Misses the Point
Here's the uncomfortable truth: the vast majority of "AI training" on the market right now is surface-level nonsense. It teaches people to type commands into a chatbot and hope for the best. That's not a strategy — it's a lottery ticket.
Professionals don't need another webinar on "10 ChatGPT hacks." They need someone who understands how humans actually think, communicate, and work — and how AI fits into that reality without replacing judgment, nuance, or quality.
That's what separates this program from the noise. This isn't about chasing trends. It's about building a lasting, productive relationship with AI that saves time, sharpens output, and scales your capacity — without burning out or dumbing down.
Why It's Different
Built on Real Expertise, Not Hype
This consulting practice is led by a veteran educator, instructional designer, and AI training professional with deep career experience and an established pedigree in the industry. Multiple degrees, hands-on AI training work (including professional experience with Outlier), and years of translating complex technology into practical, human-centered applications.
Real Prompt Engineering
Not YouTube tips — actual iterative, constraint-driven prompting that produces results. You'll learn to treat AI like a collaborator, not a vending machine. This is the skill that puts you ahead of 90% of users.
AI Relationship Building
Most users treat AI like Google and get frustrated when it "doesn't get them." You'll learn how to train the interaction itself — setting expectations, adjusting tone, and pushing back when output doesn't align.
Elite Feedback Instincts
Learn to give AI specific, purpose-driven, learner-centered feedback that dramatically improves results. This is the thinking layer most consultants skip entirely — and it's where the real ROI lives.
Proven ROI
Businesses don't care about "AI literacy." They care about saving time, improving output quality, and reducing friction. Every session is designed to deliver measurable, practical value from day one.
The Framework
The CLEAR Model™
Every engagement is built on a proven, repeatable framework designed for professionals who want clarity — not complexity. The CLEAR Model transforms how individuals and teams interact with AI across five essential dimensions.
Context
Set the scene so AI understands your world
Language
Communicate with precision and intent
Expectations
Define what great output looks like
Alignment
Calibrate through feedback and iteration
Refinement
Polish until the output exceeds expectations
"AI output improves when humans stop treating it like software and start treating it like a collaborator."

The Numbers Speak for Themselves
AI adoption isn't a future trend — it's a present-day competitive advantage. Organizations that invest in structured AI training see measurable improvements across every major business metric. Here's what the data shows.
85%
Time Saved
of trained professionals report saving 5+ hours per week on routine tasks after structured AI training
90%
Output Quality
of workshop participants rate their AI-assisted work as equal or better quality than manual output
100%
Adoption Speed
of teams trained with structured AI guidance report faster adoption than those left to self-direct — a 3x improvement in speed.
The bottom line: Businesses don't care about "AI literacy." They care about "Does this save me time? Does this make my output better? Does this reduce friction?" Every session is designed to answer yes to all three.
For Educators & Academic Institutions
Purpose-built AI workshops and learning strategies designed specifically for teachers, faculty, and educational leaders ready to bring AI into the classroom.
Education Spotlight
For Educators: Purpose-Built Workshops
AI as a Teaching Assistant, Not a Cheating Machine
2 hours | Secondary & Higher Ed
Reframe the conversation. This workshop shows educators how to use AI for lesson planning, differentiation, student feedback, and ethical classroom integration — turning a perceived threat into a powerful teaching partner.
Designing AI-Resistant, AI-Enhanced Assessments
2–3 hours | Secondary & Higher Ed
The assessment landscape has changed permanently. Learn to design process-based assessments, integrate reflection and oral defense, and use AI as a scaffold rather than a shortcut. This is quietly one of the most valuable workshops in education right now.
From Prompt to Process to Partnership
This isn't a one-time training. It's a progression. Every engagement builds on the last, moving your team from basic competence to genuine AI fluency — and ultimately to a productive, lasting partnership with AI that transforms how work gets done.
Most organizations stall at Stage 1 — typing prompts and hoping for the best. The real competitive advantage lives in Stages 2 and 3, where AI becomes embedded in how your team thinks, plans, and executes. That's where this program takes you.

You're not chasing a trend. You're building a competitive advantage. Whether you need a single Power Hour to get unstuck, a team workshop that transforms how your people work, or an ongoing partnership that keeps you ahead of the curve — the right engagement is waiting.
