The Book
Out of the Loop, Into the Algorithm
How I Finally Made Friends with AI
This isn't a tech book. It's a human book about what happens when someone who never imagined themselves as an "AI person" decides to stop avoiding it and start engaging—honestly, imperfectly, and on their own terms.
Part memoir, part practical guide, it's for anyone who's felt left behind by the AI conversation and is ready to step back in—not as an expert, but as themselves.
Available everywhere books are sold.
Consulting
Helping people and organizations navigate AI—without the jargon
Through TealBridge, I work with teams and leaders who want to adopt AI thoughtfully. Not the hype. Not the panic. Just clear guidance, grounded in how people actually work and learn.
For Individuals
One-on-one guidance for professionals navigating AI in their careers—whether you're trying to learn, pivot, or simply keep up.
For Teams
Workshops and facilitated sessions that build AI literacy across your team—meeting people where they are, not where the industry thinks they should be.
For Organizations
Strategic consulting on human-centered AI adoption. Helping leadership bridge the gap between AI capability and workforce readiness.
What Runs Through Everything
The threads that connect my work
Whether I'm on stage, writing, or in a consulting session—these are the themes I keep coming back to. They're not categories. They're the questions that matter most.
Identity & self-understanding
Who we are, who we're becoming, and how we make sense of the space in between.
Storytelling as sense-making
Using story to understand ourselves and the patterns that appear when we step back and listen.
Human connection & belonging
Building trust and creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and included.
Curiosity & continuous learning
Asking better questions, staying open, and letting what we learn change how we move forward.
Work, culture & how we show up
The relationships, expectations, and unspoken rules that shape our days.
Navigating transitions & change
The messy, human process of moving through uncertainty and figuring things out as we go.
Let's work together
Whether you're looking for a keynote speaker, a consulting partner, or want to explore a collaboration—I'd love to hear from you.
