What Our People, Clients & Partners Are Saying:

Coaching

"Working with my coach, Ben-Collins, is a pleasure and my progress has been a testament to the effectiveness of the coaching sessions. The sessions have so far been instrumental in making me realize my potentials and taught me how I can leverage AI to better my livelihood. I am confident that with continued dedication, others can achieve similar growth and understanding of self and AI literacy. The AI literacy portion of the coaching sessions empowered me to use AI intentionally, helping me track important dates, overcome self-doubt, and realize AI's vast potential for self-help. I discovered I had been using AI, but now understand how to fully harness it. My progress came from consistent effort, eagerness to learn, and thoughtful questions that deepened my understanding of advanced concepts. My coach encourages me to explore further by suggesting additional activities on various resource platforms, and fosters a supportive and engaging atmosphere, making it comfortable to ask questions and participate actively. My coach offers personalized guidance, continuous motivation, and tailored feedback which helps me build confidence and apply AI practically."

Coaching

"This was a great experience and personalized exposure to AI. I particularly appreciated the fact that Ben-Collins worked with me to understand my 'WHY' and why it matters because it shaped my approach to leveraging AI in augmenting my work and my overall approach to life even. I have a renewed perspective of AI after working with BC. Where I used to fear AI advancements, thinking it was going to replace people, I now view it as a catalyst tool that can be used to maximize human potential. I now understand the need to learn appropriate uses of AI because that can help a person stay ahead of the curve in any industry. BC is a great coach, and I appreciate the fact that the first couple of sessions focus on understanding self and personal motivations as this in turn helped tailor future sessions to my specific needs and goals. After working with BC, I gained a different point of view of AI and better understand how it can be used appropriately as a tool to augment my work."
