AI Trainer - We Are Agentic

Lesia Kalley

AI Trainer helping professional women use AI with confidence

Workshop 3

Workshop 4

77% of women say they want to learn AI. Only 6% feel confident using it. That gap is not about ability. It is about access to the right training, in the right environment, at the right pace.AI-Ready Woman is a one-day live workshop designed to close that gap. No jargon. No slides full of theory. Just practical, hands-on training that turns "I should probably learn this" into "I just built my own AI assistant."In a single day, you will master a proven prompting framework, explore the AI tools reshaping how professionals work, and build a custom AI assistant tailored to your role. You will leave with skills you can apply immediately, not next month, not after more reading. Monday morning.This workshop was built for women in business, marketing, HR, ops, education, and entrepreneurship who want to move faster, work smarter, and step into every AI conversation with confidence.10% of workshop profits are donated to ROSA UK, a fund supporting women and girls across the UK.

Build a working AI assistant for your role, master a prompting framework, and gain the confidence to lead AI conversations at work.

Cohort 2

You're working hard and delivering results. And your career still feels... stuck. Your ratings, scope, and promotions haven't moved. A. You're not imagining itB. The issue is not your effort It's actually 3 specific gaps standing between your effort and the visible impact that makes you indispensable to your org. Gap #1: Your effort isn't pointed at what the org values: everything seems equally urgent. And limited capacity and new asks keep pulling you off course. Gap #2: Priority work gets derailed because of stakeholder misalignment or late inputs: forcing you to pivot or backtrack mid-project, which costs you both momentum and credibility. Gap #3: Impact doesn't translate into visible reputation: even when the work is impactful, the right people (especially your manager and senior leaders) can't see it, speak to it, or advocate for it. Knowing how to close these gaps isn't some innate trait.It's a learnable set of skills, whether you're an IC or a People Manager, and it's exactly what you will learn in this course. 3 live sessions: 9 AM to 1:30 PM PT on Nov 7, Nov 14 and Dec 5.Early Bird: 1st 10 enrollees get a free 1:1 live coaching session worth $250.

Leadership Mentor for Women · Agentic AI builder · Product Growth Leader

You're the expert or hired to be one, and have to prove yourself constantly, defend your opinions, while questioning yourself. There's a reason for it.It's called impostor syndrome and the double bind, and it's what makes building influence and executive presence harder for women.Yet these are the skills in demand: AI-exposed roles require 2.5x more human skills like leadership and presence when working alongside AI (PwC 2026).Showing up as a senior and trustworthy leader is what gets you recognised and paid well.You've probably tried to fix this with no results. That's because most leadership training gives you theory and leaves you to figure out the rest. Most of it wasn't written with women in mind, and applying it may have worked against you.What makes this program unique?In 4 weeks you'll practice a 4-step process to build influence and executive presence as a woman, with or without a title and without pushback.<ol><li>Practical, built by a woman who led for a decade.</li><li>Tools grounded in gender research.</li><li>Role-plays and challenges from your own work, with 6 AI coaches to practice and use after the course ends.</li><li>Peers to think out loud with, and a mentor who walked the path.</li></ol>

You're doing the work. In 4 weeks, get recognised and valued for it.

Position yourself in any room and amplify your visibility.

Influence the people who matter: build charisma and get buy-in up to the CEO.
