Bringing human judgment to the age of AI

LeShane Synergy and Kathy Elizabeth & Co. collaborate on interactive business workshops that connect coaching conversations, CPA expertise, and practical, responsible use of AI.

Together, Sharon and Kathy help participants work through real business questions, draw on their experience, and use AI to explore ideas and support everyday tasks. People’s knowledge, values, and judgment remain at the center.

Sessions can explore understanding your numbers, cash flow, planning, delegation, customer relationships, marketing content, and leading through change. Discussion, practical AI demonstrations, and activities help participants consider both what to do and how to do it.
