The problem

Your team is drowning in busywork. AI can fix that. Most leaders don't know where to start.

Every week your managers spend 40% of their time on reporting, scheduling, document drafting, and inbox triage. That is time stolen from coaching, building, and selling. The leaders who win the next decade will be the ones who use AI to take the busywork off their team's plate so people can focus on the work that builds real value.

About Jon

This is not someone who read a book about leadership.

I taught systems engineering at West Point. I ran a Chick-fil-A as an operator. I supported SOCOM teams in a project management capacity, where the standard for execution is non-negotiable. I have an MBA, a PMP, and I am finishing a DBA in business and leadership.

But credentials are table stakes. What you actually want is a speaker who has implemented AI in a real business with real P&L pressure, with real employees who pushed back, and real results you can verify.
