For over 10 years, I have been coaching leaders and executives to become fully themselves, increasing their impact, and understanding the ripple effect of their leadership.

Lately, I have been partnering with AI to offer an even better coaching experience where I know the client - and can use AI tools that will help them on their individual journey.

My favorite tool this week is https://lnkd.in/gHr4d2pQ Convene the Council where you gain different perspectives on any issue or question.

The intersection of coaching, leadership, change, and AI is one of the most exciting spaces I've worked in—and we're only getting started. There are so many tools to explore!

Contact me at [email protected] if you want to dive deeper into AI! Our AI classes are some of the most sought-after today for organizations large and small. We customize the classes for your organization. It's a partnership.

Also, if you're looking for a Leadership AI coach who combines human connection with innovative AI-enabled insights, we are here for you.

In the meantime, Convene the Council.

What AI tools are you using in your leadership or coaching practice?

Our Vreeman Consulting team meeting inspired me today. Thank you to Linda Brandt, MPH and Breanne Kennedy for the thoughtful conversation.

We spent time discussing AI—not just the technology itself, but the challenges, fears, assumptions, and opportunities that come with it.

A few insights stood out:
💡 Many leaders still don't fully understand the value of AI. Their organizations may already be successful, but they could become even better with the right tools, mindset, and support.
💡 "Artificial Intelligence" is an old acronym that often triggers emotion before understanding. We challenged ourselves to think differently about it. What if we viewed AI as "Assistant Technology"? After all, who wouldn't benefit from a trusted assistant helping them work smarter, solve problems faster, and focus on what matters most?
💡 We've been here before. The Internet. Smartphones. Blackberries. Social media. Alexa. Every major technological shift has brought excitement, skepticism, resistance, and fear. Human reactions to change haven't changed much at all.

That led us to an important realization:
The challenge isn't AI.
The challenge is leadership.

Organizations don't struggle because new technology exists. They struggle when leaders are unprepared to guide people through uncertainty, learning, and transformation.

That's why we've been developing CLEAR Leadership - a leadership approach grounded in the psychology of change, communication, trust, adaptability, and human connection. It intentionally moves beyond the word "change" and focuses on what leaders must do to help people thrive in today's rapidly evolving world.

If we aren't great leaders during times of change, people will struggle.
Many already are.

So we asked ourselves a simple question: How can we help?

The answer is that we already are. Through our AI programs, leadership development experiences, coaching, and consulting, we create spaces where real people can experience the power of AI firsthand. They learn how to use their "assistant" to support both their professional responsibilities and their personal lives.

Technology will continue to evolve.
The human side of leadership has never mattered more.

And our team landed on this dream: What if technology could take care of the tasks that consume our lives currently - so that we can spend more time learning from and connecting deeply and creatively with humans?

What if?

I've been in conferences for 3 weeks straight - learning from brilliant change leaders, coaches, government professionals, AI experts and others who are there to experience togetherness. I'm inspired, intrigued, and grateful.

I asked ChatGPT to share "my WHY."

The Future of Healthcare is so BRIGHT!

I spent the day at the University of St. Thomas learning from some of the brightest healthcare leaders - and not all of them were on stage!

I reconnected with former students, met new Healthcare professionals, and had conversations that inspired me in so many ways!

We all learned about the evolution of the Healthcare system with encouragement to:

*Rethink Healthcare
*Focus on Behavioral Health
*Lead a Healthcare organization through strategic and financial dissonance
*Use data and AI to create action
*Apply AI in a thoughtful way that makes us all better

So we can be:
Change Leaders
Critical Thinkers
New-age Healthcare Innovators
Partners with AI
BOLD in our ideas

And the end of the day was amazing. Dinesh Bande MD MBA guided the conversation - presenting a project he planned during our Change Leadership course at UST and has brought to the "next level" over the past 2 years.

Have you used AI to tell your story? In less than 30 seconds, ChatGPT created this infographic. It's entirely accurate, with the hearts and all (my family looks for hearts in nature to remember God's love).

The prompt was "create an infographic of my story."

Try it! Please share yours in the comments or tag me if you post it.

Oh, and "Watch Me Moments" will be released soon! Stay tuned!

For all of the graduates: high school, college, masters, doctorates, etc..

My wish for you is that you realize that your degree is not primarily about learning, it's about connecting. The network you create will open doors - even 30 years later!

But the learning never ends. It becomes a part of you.

When life challenges you, I hope you remember how hard you worked to get to where you are today. Create a "brag book" of your accomplishments! You will surprise yourself over and over again because you did that, learned from it, and then did something even more awesome.

Be brave in your adventures. You are changing the world every day by being YOU.

And keep track of every moment that made you feel wonderful. Like this moment when we ended our Storytelling and Organization Decisions at the University of St. Thomas - Opus College of Business. It was one of my favorite moments- going into my brag book!

Congratulations to the students who chose this class to complete their Masters journey and those who are on their elective journey.

I am so proud. And I miss them already.

Process improvement is never just about processes. It’s about PEOPLE.

Over the past several months, we’ve had the opportunity to partner with the TURFCO leadership team on process improvement and leadership development through Century College.

Together at Turfco, we’ve mapped processes, identified opportunities, strengthened communication, and focused on creating better alignment across teams.

The best part? The conversations. These leaders are connecting in ways they haven't before. They can see the big picture- together.

Having them in one room every other week means that they are sharing ideas, successes, challenges, and building the company together.

It's powerful.

And in-between sessions is when the real work happens: when strong leadership and clear processes come together.

Our team is excited to see the momentum continue and proud of the impact.

And as the summer approaches, when you think about landscaping and turf for golf courses, sports fields, etc., look for Turfco equipment.

Turfco truly feels like family.

Such a cool experience for all of us - literally going back to our roots!

Last night was a "PPM" - Proud Professor Moment.

Our Storytelling and Organization Decisions students at the University of St. Thomas - Opus College of Business completed their Executive Presentations, graded by our executive panelists: John Mattson, Dianne Shelton, Brent Hill and Michelle Hutchison.

What stood out most wasn’t just the quality of the presentations; it was the growth. These students pushed beyond their comfort zones, leaned into each other’s strengths, and showed what’s possible when collaboration really clicks.

They delivered three presentations that were equally compelling, influential, and polished. It was honestly the strongest set I’ve seen since I began teaching this course.

Moments like this are why I love what I do. It's a true "PPM."

This morning, I pulled into an unfamiliar parking lot - late, a little rushed, mind moving faster than I wanted it to.

And then, unexpectedly, I felt gratitude.

I was there to meet with my team. Not just for a meeting, but to celebrate something meaningful: a new business adventure for Breanne Kennedy.

Breanne has been a friend, an instructor on the VC team for years, and someone who consistently inspires all of us. Today wasn’t just about what she’s building next - it was about who she’s been along the way.

It struck me in that moment: even in the rush, even in the unknown, our team gets to be part of something that matters. We get to grow alongside people who challenge us, support us, and remind us what’s possible. We do big things and inspire others to do the same.

*And we choose to be together.*

Each of us had our own unique experience during the meeting - touring a new site, imagining opportunities ahead for all of us, and connecting in ways that matter more than anything else while enjoying coffee together.

Gratitude doesn’t always wait for the perfect moment. Sometimes, it meets you in a parking lot and grows from there.

AND In that same parking lot after our meeting, Kelly McIntee, Thomas Stuck, MBA and I continued the conversation - How can we help each other? What can we learn? How are we using AI? What organizations need our help? How can we help them?

The sign at the front of The Coven Richfield says it all: DO THE MOST GOOD.

That's what my team focuses on every. single. day.

I cannot be more grateful.
