Essential AI Fluency

Next Chapter Positioning

For executives, founders, and entrepreneurs who have already built something real, and are now designing what comes next on their own terms.

Not "learn AI." Become AI fluent, and design your next chapter with you in the lead chair.

Why Now

The ground is shifting. You feel it.

The market is quietly benchmarking your value against a $20 subscription.

Institutions are using AI to optimize for their goals, not yours.

The gap between positioned and replaceable gets thinner every quarter.

You don't need more hype. You need a way to think, move, and build.

Is This For Me?

If this sounds like you, you're in the right place

You've built something real, a career, a company, a reputation, and you're ready to figure out what's next. Whether that's a bigger role, a new lane, a venture, or something you can't name yet.

You're willing to use AI as a thinking partner, not a shortcut.

You want your positioning to match the level you actually operate at, or the level you're building toward.

This is probably not your lane if

You want a prompt pack or a list of AI tools to copy-paste.

You're looking for someone else to do the thinking for you.

You want to automate your way out of doing the work.

Susan did not simply show me how to use AI tools. She expanded the way I think about it entirely. What began as deepening my proficiency became a complete shift in perspective.

Time Expectation

This is not a weekend bootcamp.

Plan for focused work over several weeks, at your own pace. You're not learning prompts. You're building AI fluency by doing real work on your actual next chapter.

By the End of The Next Chapter, You'll Have

Positioning chaos → Clarity

A body of work built by you, with AI. Your value, your position, what's next. For YOU, not your company.

Scattered → A Portfolio

Bio, messaging, pitch. Every asset sounds like you actually said it. Consistent and finally aligned.

Reactive → Fluent

AI working alongside you, cross-checking and pressure-testing. You decide what moves forward.

Expertise → Operational

Your positioning isn't a document in a folder. It's running and protecting your lane while you live your life.

How Is This Different?

Positioning, not prompts

This is not prompt school, and it is not generic AI training. It is the applied positioning track. You build real AI fluency and point all of it at one question: your next move, and what makes you valuable.

Every lesson walks you through the platforms step by step, so you're never stuck on the tech. If you do get stuck, a Power Session gets you unstuck.

One path gives you content. This one gives you clarity.

A year ago I'd barely scratched the surface of AI. Susan pushed me to dig in. Now I move confidently across platforms, know what to verify, and I'm always experimenting.

Who Is Susan Hearn

I'm Susan Hearn. I've been walking with technology since the 5th grade in Silicon Valley, and I was commercializing AI back in 2007, advising brands in rooms you don't get invited to long before most companies had a playbook.

BET Networks, the CROWN Act, National Action Network, Fortune 500 brands you've heard of. When ChatGPT dropped, I wasn't learning. I was adding it to the arsenal.

I'm not here to make you dependent on me. I'm here to make you dangerous on your own.

You're Not Sure You Trust AI?

You're not wrong to feel that way. This isn't a pep rally. It's a containment strategy, built on three assumptions:

AI is here, whether we like it or not.

Institutions will use it to optimize for their goals, not yours.

You deserve tools that keep you from becoming collateral damage.

You don't have to like AI to use it, briefly and precisely, to protect your time, your positioning, and your next move.

How This Reframes AI for You

AI as mirror

To see your patterns, positioning gaps, blind spots, and leverage points more clearly than you can on your own.

AI as shield

To protect your lane and your time as the landscape shifts under you.

AI as infrastructure

To codify how you think and operate, so you're less dependent on any one platform or employer.

“

This course, particularly the positioning, is like therapy. It's a lot to unwrap, and you have to sit with it for a period of time. And then move to the next phase.

Questions You Might Have

Do I need paid subscriptions to AI tools?

Your fee covers the curriculum and materials. The AI platforms are separate. Free tiers work to start, but budget roughly $20 to $60 a month across 2 to 3 platforms for the best experience.

What if I only use one AI platform. Can I still do this?

Do this especially if you only use one AI platform. Most people are using one platform for everything. That's like hiring one person to run your entire company. This methodology teaches you to orchestrate multiple AI platforms as a strategic team, each one chosen for a specific cognitive task. You'll learn what ChatGPT can't do, and which platform can.

What if I get stuck or can't figure out the tech?

You won't. Every lesson is timeboxed and walks you through step by step. But if you hit a wall, book a Power Session, 90 minutes on Zoom to get you unstuck: learn.kenekts.com/susan-power-session.

Can I jump around or do I have to go in order?

The Foundation courses you can explore in any order. But the Next Chapter track itself is sequential. THOUGHT feeds WORD feeds ACTION. Each step builds on the last. That's where the real transformation happens, and it works because the scaffolding is intentional.

What do I actually leave with?

Tangible assets you own: a bio suite, LinkedIn and CV language, visibility assets, and custom AI skills built around your positioning. Plus three living Master Documents. This is not a certificate. It's a body of work.
