KEYNOTE , PRACTICAL AI FOR BUSINESS
Put AI to Work on Work That Matters.
AI gets more useful when you give it a real job. This keynote helps people spot practical uses in the work they already do, give AI better context and check what comes back.
Rooms with mixed AI experience, from people who have never tried it to people who use it every day.
Give everyone in the room a practical place to start, whatever their role.
Help teams find tasks where AI can save time, and agree on how to check the work.
Find the jobs AI can help with when you are the one doing most of them.
Give members of every size and role examples they recognize from their own businesses.
Start from plain language, so beginners can follow and regular users still pick up better habits.
Fewer know where to start with their own work. A vague request gets a vague answer, and an answer nobody checks can create new problems.
AI You Can Use Monday makes the starting point clear. Stefanie uses business examples people recognize, like preparing for a sales conversation, turning rough notes into a first draft or planning customer follow-up, and ends with a next step people can take back to work.
Find a task where an AI trial could be useful, and define what a good result looks like.
Provide the goal, the source material and the limits the task needs.
Review the result and decide what to improve before it becomes part of the workflow.
Tools change every few months. The habits in this keynote hold up: pick a job worth doing, give the tool what it needs and check what comes back before anyone relies on it.
Stefanie has taught AI to business audiences on stages, in webinars and in hands-on sessions, from glass and millwork companies to independent dealers. Through Grit Blueprint, she and her team also help clients use AI in their sales and business development work.

At the October 2026 event, Stefanie taught ways to use AI in sales preparation, operations, and business decisions. Examples included checking for missing specifications before production.
I took a class with Stefanie on AI, as a reboot to my business, that got me heading the right direction. Since then, my confidence and creativity is at an all time high after 49 years in the business.
They also helped us navigate how to use AI to strengthen our skills not only as salespeople but in business development.
Client reviews describe Grit Blueprint business work, not speaking engagements.
The keynote and the working session share a name and a goal, in two different formats. Either way, Stefanie shapes the examples around the work your audience does every day.
Business examples, a clear starting point and a next step to take back to work. 30 to 90 minutes, in person or virtual. No laptop or AI account needed.
Hands-on time on a task of your own. Bring a laptop, access to the agreed AI tool and a task without sensitive information. The team confirms preparation, timing and support before the session.
Pair them so people can practice after the keynote. Each part is scoped so the time and purpose are clear.

The keynote shows the approach with business examples, and no one needs a laptop or an AI account. The working session gives people time to try it on a task of their own, with a laptop and the agreed AI tool. Ask about pairing them if you want people to practice after the keynote.
No. The AI keynotes work without a laptop or an AI account. The hands-on workshops are different: participants bring a laptop and access to the agreed AI tool, and the requirements are confirmed during planning.
Tools change quickly, so the keynotes focus on habits that last: picking a useful job, giving AI context and checking the result. Examples use current tools where they help, and any hands-on session uses the tool your team agrees on.
No. The keynotes use plain language and business examples, so a room with mixed experience can follow along. Tell us how your audience uses AI today so the examples start in the right place.

Yes. Before the event, I talk with your team about who is in the room, what they’re facing and the language that matters to them. Then I shape the examples around your audience and what you want them to leave ready to do. We will agree on the level of preparation and customization in the scope.
