Kathleen Rohrbaugh, Fractional Marketing Leader - B2B Strategy & Brand Messaging
"Before the course. I didn't grasp how AI could make me a strong marketer, or a job seeker.That changed quickly."
"I walked away with real marketing playbooks, advisory board-style feedback, and strategic plans I could apply immediately. This course was transformative. I've gone from cautious curiosity to confident early adopter. AI is not a shortcut; it's a multiplier."
Haresh Keswani, Business Technology Leader - Healthcare & Life Science
I’m a business technology leader with deep experience in the Healthcare and Life Sciences sectors, accountable for a range of product launches, mergers and acquisitions, and value creation across the entire value chain—from clinical to manufacturing, supply chain, and commercialization.
The course helped me see the potential of ChatGPT well beyond prompt engineering. I learned how to create custom GPTs and unlock tremendous value through increased efficiency and capability across a variety of functions. Every session and belt level offered practical insights; I always walked away with at least one powerful nugget. The concept of building a custom GPT was my favorite—it allows for automating high-level strategic research in a repeatable, scalable way.
Personally, I've saved significantly on management and strategic consulting costs while accelerating time-to-market for deliverables. For example, eliminating the need for a $350/hour resource over just three months results in substantial savings—not to mention the T2M (Time to Market) advantages. These tools have helped me uncover blind spots and explore areas I wouldn’t have considered otherwise.
I’ve been immersed in the AI ecosystem for over 12 months, completing foundational certifications from Amazon and Google, earning my CPMAI from the PMI, and becoming an AI Implementation Leader through CxOTransform. These credentials have already enabled me to lead several AI-driven initiatives in the domains I support.
I’m a strong believer in the staying power of this capability—it reminds me of the early days of the dot-com era. This is my second wave of tech transformation, and I’m diving in with conviction. My sincere advice to all of you: take this seriously. AI won’t take your job, but someone using AI might. Remember, AI was your intern last year—today, it’s your boss. If you plan to stay in the workforce for the next decade, invest in yourself, adopt early, and make waves by differentiating your personal brand and professional value.
Mitch Wienick, CEO Lead Coach LLC - Executive Partnering & Coaching
I’m a CEO of Lead Coach LLC, a solopreneur business specializing in Executive Partnering, Executive Coaching, and Career Coaching. Prior to taking the Beacon AI training course—expertly taught by Caroline Hinton, an AI consultant, and seamlessly organized by Beacon’s Gary Morgan—I faced a recurring challenge: describing the value of Executive Partnering (which is more strategic and conceptual) and Executive Coaching (which is more skill-based) to decision-makers at small to midsize companies. These companies often have leadership teams that are more narrow and less seasoned and sophisticated than those at multibillion-dollar enterprises.
Through the use of ChatGPT deep research tool, I was able to identify important insights and proof points that helped me reframe my value proposition in a way that was more relevant and compelling to this audience. The ability of AI to rapidly comprehend problems and challenges through sequenced prompts which then provide tailored perspectives, detailed support points, and iterative refinements has been highly useful. Its speed, adaptability, and capacity for collective reasoning are truly remarkable.
I believe that any member of the Beacon community would benefit from taking this course to better understand the power and potential of this rapidly evolving technology—one that promises meaningful and measurable benefits for both individuals and their organizations.
Pat Schaeffer, Founding Principal, Talent Strategy Partners
“Before I learned to use ChatGPT, creating leadership development tools was time-consuming and often ate into our margins. Beacon’s Black Belt AI training changed that. I now understand how to write precise prompts that deliver consistent, high-quality results. I’ve already cut development time for one client deliverable from 16 hours to just over 6.
This training gave me the confidence to incorporate AI into future client projects, knowing I can deliver faster without sacrificing quality. The sessions were hands-on, practical, and incredibly well-structured — perfect for any busy executive looking to boost productivity.”
