Explore the experiencePossibility into practice
See possibilities. Put them to work.
01
Start with what matters to you.
We look at the career move, team challenge, business need, or part of life that deserves more attention. That gives us a useful place to begin.
02
Try it on something real.
We use AI to help with work you recognize: preparing, learning, organizing information, or creating a first draft you can improve. You build capability as you apply it.
03
Keep your judgment in the process.
AI can help you think. It should not decide what is true for you. You check the facts, bring your context, and decide what fits your values and the people affected.
“Cheryl has a unique ability to break down difficult ideas and topics which can be intimidating into manageable pieces for easier comprehension and application. Most recently, I especially appreciated how she coached me on practical ways to deploy AI to my everyday work.”

It should not decide what is true for you.
We start with the work or decision in front of you. You bring your context, check the facts, and decide what fits your values and the people affected.
The work that shaped meExperience that shapes the work.
I started on the floor at Ford, moved through tool and die into engineering, and later held leadership roles at Ford and American Axle. Along the way, I learned what it means when someone sees your potential and helps you take the next step.
I went on to spend eight years building an industry organization, creating programs, and working with leaders on learning and change. Today, through Cheryl Thompson Advisory, I help people apply AI to the work, decisions, and possibilities in front of them.
