What I Do
AI doesn’t have to be confusing or precious. I help encore entrepreneurs and small business owners cut through the hype and use AI where it actually helps—explained in plain English, with zero jargon and a little humor.
AI Coaching
AI isn’t a magic button. It’s a tool — and like any tool, the results depend on how you use it. That’s where coaching comes in. I work one-on-one with entrepreneurs who want to:
Learn how to give AI clear instructions that produce better results.
Understand which tools are worth their time (and which are just noise).
Build confidence in using AI as a thinking partner instead of second-guessing every response.
My coaching sessions are conversational and practical. No jargon, no lectures — just direct guidance on how to make AI work for your specific business goals. You’ll leave each session with clarity and actionable steps you can use right away.
Speaking & Workshops
If you need someone to explain AI in a way that doesn’t feel intimidating or abstract, that’s where I come in. I design talks and workshops that connect with audiences who are curious, skeptical, or simply overwhelmed by the hype.
I’ve spoken at conferences, universities, libraries, chambers of commerce, and entrepreneur groups. My workshops are interactive and tailored to the audience. We might cover how AI can save small business owners time, what it can and can’t do, or how to experiment without wasting money. The goal is always the same: people leave feeling like they actually understand what AI can do, and how to put it to work.
Writing
Clear, authentic writing has always been my strength — and in a world where AI tools are generating more content than ever, clarity matters. I’ve written for blogs, websites, newsletters, and articles, and I regularly contribute to the Hearst Bay Area marketing blog.
When I write, I don’t just churn out content. I translate complex topics into plain English, with just enough personality to keep people reading. Whether it’s an article explaining AI to a skeptical audience or a blog post that helps small businesses cut through the noise, my goal is always the same: make complicated ideas easy to understand, and maybe even enjoyabl.
