AI Consultant & Strategic Comms Educator

The only ACE-certified, research-led AI integration sprint built for communication, PR and marketing leaders.
Most AI training teaches tools. This sprint teaches decisions.
In three weeks, you’ll build a practical AI integration strategy for your organisation or team, including workflow priorities, tool evaluation criteria, governance guardrails and a leadership-ready strategy deck.
Designed for busy Australian professionals, it helps you move from scattered AI experimentation to a clear, safe and defensible roadmap.
No technical background or pre-work required. Recordings are available.
You’ll leave with:
1. AI Opportunity Map
2. AI Policies + Guardrails
3. AI Integration Strategy Deck
4. Official ACE Certification
This is for you if you need safe AI adoption, practical governance, leadership-ready strategy and reputational risk control.
It doesn’t include prompt libraries, tool tutorials, AI content hacks or technical AI building.
By completing the AI Integration Sprint for Communication Leaders, you will learn how to:
Build a clear roadmap to guide your organisation or team's AI adoption from preparation to execution.
Assess communication workflows and pinpoint high-impact AI opportunities that align with business goals, rather than chasing tools or trends

Communicate AI decisions clearly, reduce resistance and guide teams through change with confidence and credibility.
