AI Coaching for Visionaries

• Strategic thinking • Deep feeling • Conscious tech •

Whether you’re leading a grief mentoring collective, building a queer-centered startup, running an indie arts org, or crafting a super-niche service-based biz, you’re probably AI-curious but soul-weary.

You’ve seen the hype. You’ve felt the fear. And somewhere in the middle, you’ve wondered:
“Could this tech actually help me… without making me sound robotic, feel gross, or smell like a sell out?”

That’s where I come in.

I coach humans on how to best use AI, and I consult with AI to help humans.

One builds your skills. The other brings you sharp, personalized insight… powered by tech, filtered through deep strategy and big heart.

If you’re a visionary looking for clarity, creativity, and a sane relationship with AI, you’re in the right place.

• Who I Work With •

I work with visionary business owners who want to explore how AI can help them:

🧠 Identify leadership blindspots and patterns that hold them back
🧠 Build systems that support clarity, delegation, and sustainability
🧠 Communicate more effectively, both internally and externally
🧠 Shift out of self-sabotage and into executive-level mindset
🧠 Streamline operations and manage programs with more ease
🧠 Work more efficiently, for more impact and less burnout


• Why Work With Me •

While my initial focus has been on AI coaching for wedding vendors on Offbeat Wed, I’m now working with a select number of business clients outside the wedding industry, especially folks doing mission-focused or creative tech-centered work. I work with overwhelmed founders, scrappy solopreneurs, and creatives trying to scale their passions without losing their minds.

I’ve spent my 25-year career at the intersection of brand, tech, and storytelling, doing everything from personality-driven marketing at Microsoft, to platform product management at Medium, to running my own profitable publishing company for almost 20 years. I’ve managed teams of editors, been hands-on with sales pros, and lead complex teams of developers. I’m a strategic cheerleader who can talk dev-ops and soul purpose—because for founders like you, those conversations aren’t separate.

Here’s the short version of why I work so well with business visionaries:

🛠️ I speak fluent tech and human.

🛠️ I know how to build and maintain systems that actually reflect strong, mission-driven values… and are profitable.

🛠️ I’m not here to push cookie-cutter prompts or soulless automation. I don’t do slop.

🛠️ I’m here to help you use AI to support your bottom line, but also your compassion, empathy, and human connection. I believe in using AI to enhance your inherently magical secret sauce… never replace it.

• How I Can Help You •

Depending on your needs, I can support you with:
💡Founder Mindset – Supporting the humans behind the business with tools to stay grounded, visionary, and sane
💡Operations – Using AI to streamline your systems, templates, and workflows
💡Communications – Next-level strategy and AI training so that you can easily produce web content, emails, and scripts that are totally on-brand, and deeply you
💡Program Management – Creating tools to help you scale up without burning out

Big-picture strategy is great…
but I’m also here to help you actually build the thing, not just dream it in a Google Doc.

As a visionary, you can see what others don’t.
