Why Do We Need this Type of Community?
After logging over 3,000 hours with various AI systems, I noticed a pattern: The most successful AI users weren't those with the best technical skills—they were the ones who understood how to build effective relationships with AI. They learned how to accept AI, understand what it can and cannot do, and then learned skills to adapt to it and bring out their human superpowers.
This revelation, combined with my background in emotional intelligence and technology, led to the development of the AIQ (AI Emotional Intelligence) framework. The AI Klatch™ is a friendly and inviting community where you learn to build genuine, productive relationships with AI. It is more than just training courses on prompts - it is a way to build your skills to make AI an amazing part of your life.

This Isn't Another "Learn and Leave" AI Course
I'm not here to just take your money, teach you another tool or technique, and then leave you hanging.
The last thing you need is another AI tutorial that dumps a bunch of prompts in your lap and wishes you good luck.
What you need is a guide who:
  • Understands the journey from AI anxiety to AI mastery
  • Has walked the path of building genuine human-AI relationships
  • Stays with you as the technology evolves
That's exactly why I created the The AI Klatch™.
As your mentor and community leader, I'm committed to:
  • Building your human-AI collaboration confidence
  • Developing your unique AI communication style
  • Supporting your growth through every breakthrough and challenge
  • Helping you adapt as AI capabilities expand
Think of this as your lifelong human-AI relationship academy, not just another training program. I'll be here, actively guiding our community, sharing insights, and helping you transform AI from a mysterious tool into a trusted collaboration partner.
Because true AI mastery isn't a destination—it's an ongoing journey. And we're in this journey together. 🤝🏼
Why I'm Uniquely Qualified
to Guide Your AI Journey
The Perfect Storm of Experience
Technical Mastery
As a former software developer, database administrator, and certified AI expert, I understand the technical foundations of AI systems. But I learned that technical knowledge alone isn't enough.
Human Understanding
My decades of experience in HR, achieving my SPHR™ certification, being a Chief Human Resources Officer for a large financial institution, and experiences as a certified MBTI™ and Emotional Intelligence facilitator helped me discover the missing link in AI adoption: the human element. Teaching emotional intelligence to professionals showed me how important relationship-building skills are with AI. Educating professionals on the use of AI taught me why building human-AI collaboration relationships is the key to success, productivity, and true ROI (Return on Investment).
