AI Consulting & Training

AI training for leaders who cannot afford to get this wrong.

I design AI readiness programs for executive teams in mission-driven organizations. Teams walk in cautious. They walk out building their own agents.

Forward · on purpose

"AI is a train leaving the station. You can either be on it, or on the tracks."

We ensure your leadership team is in the engine room, charting the course, not reacting to the disruption.

About

Xuchilt Perez, PhD

For twenty-five years I've helped leaders learn what's next. New technology, new ways of working, new ways of leading. I built iCAN AI for the moment we're in now, when AI isn't optional anymore, but most leadership teams are still treated like end users instead of decision-makers.

I put them back in the driver's seat: building real workflows with their own data, in their own environment, with the guardrails their work requires. I work specifically with mission-driven organizations: hospice and palliative care, healthcare nonprofits, foundations, and education.

Cohort Program

A multi-session AI readiness program where behavior actually changes. Custom-designed arcs built around your real workflows and your enterprise environment. Your leaders leave having built AI workflows themselves, working hands-on with M365 Copilot, Perplexity, and NotebookLM. This is the engagement behind my strongest results.

Custom-scoped for your team

Ongoing Advisory

Monthly guidance for organizations that want a thinking partner past the program, as AI keeps shifting under them. Includes a leadership needs assessment to see where your team actually is and map what comes next.

Monthly retainer

Every cohort comes with iCAN Coach

Training changes what people know. iCAN Coach changes what they do.

The hardest part of leadership development isn't the workshop. It's the Tuesday afterward, when a hard conversation is coming and there's no one to practice with. iCAN Coach is a private AI rehearsal partner your leaders get access to as part of the program. They bring a real conversation, the feedback they're dreading, the pushback they need to give, the boundary they keep avoiding, and they practice it before they have to live it.

Real situations, not canned cases

No generic role-plays. Leaders rehearse the actual conversation on their calendar this week.

Practice, then honest feedback

iCAN Coach plays the other person, holds the tension realistically, then shows what landed and what a stronger version sounds like.

The skills outlast the program

Sessions end. iCAN Coach doesn't. Leaders keep a place to prepare long after the last workshop.

Included with every cohort program. Built on the same adult-learning approach behind the training itself.

Your team keeps everything, in one place

Every engagement comes with a private resource hub built for your organization. Reference sheets, the tools your leaders built, and a recap of every session, all in one branded space your team can return to long after the program ends. No lost handouts, no "what did we cover in session three." The learning has a home.

Built for your team

Branded to your organization, organized by session, written for the way your people actually work.

Everything in one place

Every reference sheet, tool, and recap your leaders create during the program, saved and searchable.

It outlasts the program

The sessions end. The hub doesn't. Your team keeps a working reference they'll still use months later.

Included with every cohort program, alongside iCAN Coach.
