She Leads AI

Hi Reader, It looks like progress — busy, meeting everyone, going to everything. Working on the landing page again, changing colors, writing elaborate business plans, signing up for webinars and not going — and not watching the replays either. I did all of that. And podcasts and live shows and study groups and virtual events and live events and international talks and talks to zero people on Zoom. I tried it all — and a lot of it worked. I have solid options now. Could it have been easier?...

Hi Reader, With any AI these days, but with Claude Code in particular, I find myself angling for agency. I want to be in control of how data is gleaned, used, and deployed on my watch. I want my words to be MINE again, not the gauzy version that barely eeks through a chatbot's personality. I want to feel confident that when I am using AI, my own lived experience is a critical component of our success. This is why I love working in the Claude Code terminal. It feels powerful — like I'm close...

Hi Reader, Metal, Not Magic. In her session at Social Saturday on May 9, Susi O'Neil reminded us all that the tools that are supposed to even the odds are reinforcing the same biases we'd hoped to leave behind. Susi leads EVA Digital, hosts the Insight Story podcast, and has spent years mapping where AI adoption breaks down for women and underrepresented workers. Her talk laid out 8 adoption gaps — from the classroom to the C-suite — and four principles for the leaders trying to close...

Hi Reader,As we rethink everything, let's just go ahead and rethink how we think. Several women in the She Leads AI community are digging deep into this topic. If you don't follow Vanessa Chang aka Think with V, we highly recommend. Beth Lyons' work on overwhelm and AI. And Devika Toprani brought her cognitive research and recommendations to us at Social Saturday on May 2. (Thank you, Devika!) Devika made a strong argument for intentional pre-work before getting into it with AI. She opened...

Hi Reader,Sharing all the things is definitely on my dopamenu -- Denise Gangi's too, I think. At She Leads AI Social Saturday last weekend, she and I shared our AI consulting pricing strategies from very different industries, how the math maths, what an offer stack can look like, and how we demonstrate value in AI consulting. Denise brought her expertise from 11 years leading pricing at Broadridge — one of the largest fintech firms in the world — before starting her own practice. She came to...

Hi Reader, Most professionals aren't telling stories. They're telling summaries. Erica A. Hanna — six-time Emmy winner, filmmaker, and She Leads AI Society member — spent April 11's Social Saturday with She Leads AI on why that gap exists and what to do about it. She brought the five-beat storytelling framework she's spent her career refining. The community brought their professional stories. We ran them through the process together. The companion guide from April 11 has the framework and the...
