Moving Teams from AI Awareness
to Confident Action

YOU'VE INVESTED IN AI.
YOUR TEAM ISN'T USING IT.

You bought the licenses. Sent the announcement. Maybe even ran some training. But three months later, most people are still working the old way. The tools sit unused. The ROI isn't materializing. And leadership is starting to ask questions.

The problem isn't the technology. It's that awareness doesn't equal adoption. Your team needs more than permission to use AI. They need confidence, practical skills, and a clear path forward that doesn't disrupt everything that's already working.

That’s where I come in

I'm Sean Wood. For over 10 years, I've helped leaders move their teams from "we should probably use this" to "we can't imagine working without it." Not through hype or theory, but through practical frameworks your people can apply immediately

WHAT I SPEAK ABOUT

AI Leadership: Managing Teams Through Transformation

Your team is already excellent at their jobs. How do you introduce AI without implying they're not? This session addresses the change management reality of leading high performers through adoption—building champions, managing resistance, making new behaviors feel easier than old ones.

Workforce Transformation: Preparing for What's Coming

AI is reshaping roles, skills, and how work gets done. This session covers workforce planning for an AI-enabled future. What to prepare for, how to start now, and how to manage transition without disrupting current performance.

From Awareness to Action: Making AI Adoption Real

Most organizations are stuck between knowing AI matters and actually using it daily. This session gives leaders the frameworks to move their teams from curious to capable. How to address resistance, build confidence, and create sustainable change.

The Future of Work: What's Coming and How to Prepare

Trends are accelerating. This session helps leaders spot what's coming 2-5 years out and build readiness now—before competitors do, before it becomes urgent, before you're reacting instead of leading.

EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS

My client work includes IBM, Coca-Cola, AT&T, Colgate-Palmolive, and Home Depot, plus international organizations like NATO's innovation hub. I also advise on AI and workforce transformation at Emory's Goizueta Business School, Georgia State's Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute, and UGA's Terry College of Business.

This isn't academic theory. It's real-world experience helping organizations like yours solve this exact problem.

FORMATS

  • Keynote (45-90 min): Shift perspective, build momentum

  • Half-Day Workshop (3-4 hrs): Strategy + hands-on application

  • Training Program (Full/multi-day): Deep capability building

    Session are always updated and relevant. No generic slides.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Example: In a recent workshop with a professional services firm, participants spent 30 minutes applying AI to their actual weekly tasks. By the end, they'd identified 5-7 hours of work they could automate or improve. That's not theory—that's Monday morning value.

The focus is behavior change, not tool demos. Your team knows what AI can do. They need to know how to make it part of their workflow without adding complexity or risk.

Sessions are designed for skeptics and champions alike. I've learned that 20% of any room will resist, 60% will be cautiously curious, and 20% will be ready to run. The content works for all three.
