Guided Masterclass: AI As Your Thinking Partner
·OnlineOnline7 attendees from 5 groupsA live session on using AI to sharpen judgment, prep for hard moments, and communicate with real clarity, not just work faster.
Everyone's using AI to move faster. Almost no one's asking if it's making them sharper.
That's the gap this Guided Masterclass steps into. Join Shellie Sullivan (Chief Growth Officer, Abby AI) and Jason Alexander (Founder, ChiefAI) for a live, moderated conversation hosted by Ric Pratte on using AI as a genuine thinking partner, not just a task-doer.
This isn't a tools rundown. It's a working session in three parts:
- Sharper judgment, using AI to pressure-test decisions and surface blind spots before you commit;
- Better preparation, rehearsing hard conversations and stress-testing plans before they matter; and
- Clearer communication, saying what you actually mean across async, cross-timezone teams where tone carries more weight than it should have to.
Real tactics from people doing the work, not academic theory. Come with your toughest AI-and-judgment question. Leave with a sharper way to use the tool you already use every day.
Live seats capped at 50. Includes live Q&A with all three panelists. Recording included with registration.
This is the same territory the Thrive Remotely August 13th newsletter issue digs into, built for Allies who want the deeper, unscripted version: real tactics, real pushback, no script.
This virtual event is managed on the Thrive Remotely site, you’ll need to register here. The session fee is $29.

Leadership on Tap
7 Acres Coworking Space, 105 Fairview Road, Asheville, NC, USRemote work didn't create new challenges—it revealed existing habits, standards, and behaviors. When supervision decreases and independence increases, the choices we make each day become more visible in our outcomes. Drawing from experiences on a farm, at Ohio State, in the NFL, in business, and even in a garden, Chuck Hutchison explores why people with similar talent and opportunities often produce very different results. This presentation examines the standards, behaviors, and responses that consistently shape performance, trust, and better outcomes—regardless of where we work.
