An AI professional-development program delivered to Johnson & Johnson staff, in partnership with COAST Tactical Training, a Navy-SEAL-led collective whose enterprise programs put me in front of decision-makers who'd otherwise never sit through "intro to AI."

The problem

Big-company AI training tends to come in two flavors: a vendor pitch dressed up as a workshop, or a deep-technical seminar that nobody on the floor needs. Fortune 50 employees don't have a "model-comparison" problem. They have an "I have 40 hours of work and 28 hours to do it" problem.

The approach

Partnering with COAST Tactical Training gives the program a credibility floor most AI educators don't have. COAST is run by ex-military operators. Navy SEAL-led, and J&J already trusts them on leadership, decision-making, and high-stakes operating environments. I bring the AI substance into a room that's already engaged.

The program is structured around practical, repeatable workflows:

  • Where AI saves time (and where it doesn't yet)
  • Prompt patterns that hold up under real work, not demo work
  • Day-to-day integration, meetings, docs, email, research
  • Guardrails for IP, sensitive data, and corporate review
  • How to keep up as the tooling shifts under your feet
Why it matters

Sessions land because the room leaves with three things they'll do tomorrow. Not a slide deck, not a Notion page, not "we'll think about a pilot." Three concrete uses, wired into their actual workflow, before they walk back to their desks. That's the whole bar.
