Better questions. More useful perspectives. Your judgment in charge.
Bring a decision you need to think through. Learn how to give AI the right context, explore different views, and challenge the answer before you make your move.
A useful answer starts with a clear problem. What are you trying to do? What is getting in the way? What matters most? Work through those questions before you ask a tool to help.
What You Will Work On.
Define the Decision.
State the goal, constraints, and question you need to answer.
Build a Useful Set of Perspectives.
Create prompts that examine the decision from different roles, including customers, operations, finance, and strategy where relevant.
Challenge the Answer.
Look for missing facts, weak assumptions, and choices that deserve another question.
Choose the Next Move.
Turn what you learned into a step you can test in your own work.
Build Something You Can Return To.
The aim is a reusable way to frame a decision, examine it from more than one angle, and choose what to do next. Participants work on their own example within the agreed session format.
Keep Your Taste. Keep Your Voice.
Use AI to challenge and sharpen your thinking. You still read the work, question the answer, and make the call.
Before the Session.
Bring a laptop, access to the agreed AI tool, and a decision you can discuss without sharing sensitive information. We will confirm the preparation, tool requirements, group size, and available support during planning.
Choose the Right Experience.
Ask about a private team workshop, leadership session, or a workshop connected to a larger event. Virtual delivery can be discussed based on the group's needs and the level of interaction.
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.

How to Build an AI Advisory Board You Can Actually Use
StefanieCouch.com · By Stefanie Couch
Published
Use an AI advisory board to test a business decision from several views. Get a decision brief, a copyable prompt, and a way to check what comes back.
A keynote gives the audience a shared message and direction. A workshop makes room for practice, questions, and work on a specific task. The group size and time available shape how much support is possible.
Do participants need ChatGPT or Claude?
For the AI advisory board workshop, participants need access to a supported AI tool for the hands-on work. The planning team will confirm the tool, account requirements, and preparation before the session.
Is Build Your AI Advisory Board suitable for beginners?
Yes. No technical background is needed: participants bring a real decision and learn to give AI useful context, explore different views and challenge the answer. Teams new to AI can also start with AI You Can Use Monday, which works on everyday tasks. Tell us the group’s current experience so we can set the right starting point and pace.
Will the workshop teach us to hand decisions over to AI?
No. The focus is using AI to explore options, question assumptions, and improve your thinking. Your judgment, taste, voice, and final decisions remain yours.
Should participants bring private business information?
Use a real decision you can discuss without exposing sensitive information. Follow your organization’s tool and data rules. The exercise can use a simplified or anonymized example.
Are recordings and worksheets included?
Available resources depend on the selected engagement. The written scope will identify any worksheets, recordings, replay access, and follow-up materials included.
