Executive & team coaching
Each pathway uses examples relevant to your role, your level of AI experience and your institution’s rules.
For senior UN and international organisation officials, corporate executives and public-sector leaders.
Briefing notes, decision preparation, scenario exploration and meeting follow-up. AI supports analysis; decisions remain yours.
For directors of communications, spokespersons, public affairs and information integrity specialists.
Message development, audience adaptation, editorial workflows, media monitoring and verification, with attention to accuracy and reputation.
For leadership teams, NGOs, development programmes, professional associations and other groups.
Identify shared needs, agree workable rules and test role-specific uses. Group size and session length can be adapted in the proposal.
The standard pathway is four 45-minute sessions over 4–6 weeks, with a small exercise between meetings. We agree the scope, pace and format before starting.
Map your responsibilities, recurring tasks, bottlenecks, AI experience and organisational constraints. Start wherever you are, including with no AI experience.
Your takeaway : A concise workflow and AI readiness diagnosis.
Select two or three useful, manageable applications. Assess benefits, data sensitivity, bias, reputational risk and the human review each requires.
Your takeaway : A prioritised use-case map and clear boundaries.
Try one or two workflows using public, fictional or suitably anonymised material. Refine prompts and review quality, effort and practical limitations.
Your takeaway : Tested workflow templates and a personal prompt library.
Agree actions for the next 30, 60 and 90 days: what to practise, what to avoid, how to measure progress and when to review.
Your takeaway : Your tailored roadmap, responsible-use checklist and review points.
Ethics is part of the practical work in every session.
Use only approved tools and authorised material. Do not upload confidential documents for the coaching exercises.
Check facts and sources, test for bias, and keep human review before decisions or publication.
Align the plan with your organisation’s policies, approval processes and disclosure requirements. Involve the relevant internal teams when needed.
Develop habits you can maintain. Keep the tools and applications that improve your work and drop those that do not.
