LEADING WITH AI
AI is reshaping how engineering teams work — fast. The leaders who thrive aren’t just adopting AI tools, they’re fundamentally changing how their teams operate. This 3-hour hands-on workshop gives you the playbook to lead that transformation with clarity and confidence.
Go beyond adoption — lead your team through a genuine AI transformation
Build your own AI practice as a leader, not just watch your team use it
Manage AI agents as team members — with expectations, feedback, and accountability
Set guardrails and norms for how AI gets used on your team
“THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO EXCEL AND GROW YOUR CAREER IN THE WORKPLACE”
SHAKUN MEROTRA
DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, BOX
COMMUNICATE LIKE AN EXECUTIVE
Translate team work into language that resonates at the executive level
Navigate high-stakes upward conversations with clarity and confidence
Align stakeholders and get buy in across functions
Leverage AI to show up sharper, every time
Most leaders are great at the work. Few are great at communicating it upward and across in a way that drives decisions, builds alignment, and gets results. This 3-hour hands-on workshop — with real practice and AI tools built in — closes that gap fast.
