AI in Real Meetings: What Actually Works
Most meetings should never happen. Once you decide a meeting matters, you have to make it count. On 15 June I am joining Anna Stando for "AI For The Real World", a one hour, hands-on session on how to actually use AI before, during and after meetings. No frameworks dressed up as wisdom. Just the tools and habits I use every week. This post is the short version of what I will share.
Most meetings should never happen. But once you decide a meeting matters, you have to make it count.
On 15 June I am joining the fabulous Anna Stando for an "AI For The Real World" session. One hour, zero slides, fully hands on.
Here is what I am sharing:
→ Before the meeting: how I prepare faster and arrive sharper with AI
→ During the meeting: how AI sits in the room with me without taking it over
→ After the meeting: how I turn one hour of talk into action that actually moves
This is not a theory session. No frameworks dressed up as wisdom. Just the exact tools and habits I use every week.
If you have been told to "use more AI" and you still are not sure what that looks like inside a real working day, this hour is for you.
Bring your lunch and join us on 15 June, 12:00 to 13:00.
As you read in Friday's Advance Gender Equality in Business newsletter as well, thank you so much for the feature.
Will I see you there?

What "use more AI" actually means inside a real working day
Most leaders I work with have been told to "use more AI" at some point. Few have been shown what that looks like inside their actual week. The result is a generation of senior professionals who have ChatGPT open in a tab and barely touch it.
Three places AI quietly shifts the working day, when it is used well.
→ Before the meeting. Faster prep. Sharper question lists. A pressure test of the position you are walking in with. Two minutes of AI thinking removes most of the lazy prep you used to do, or did not do at all.
→ During the meeting. AI does not sit at the table. It sits beside you. The skill is keeping it as a thinking partner, not a participant. Your judgment stays in the room. AI helps you hold more of it.
→ After the meeting. One hour of talk becomes action. Decisions captured. Owners named. Follow-ups drafted. The meeting actually moves something instead of generating another meeting.
This is the work I share in the joint session with Anna Stando on 15 June. It is also the work I do with senior teams in Private AI Advisory. The framing is not about tools. It is about what stays human in your working day, and what does not.
If you want the practical version you can run yourself, I have a free AI Tools and Tips Guide with the AI tools I actually use as a coach and leader, with the workflows around them. Leave your email here and I will send it over: https://www.thechangerepublic.com/free-resources
