Description

Send us a textHow do I know if an AI consultant is lying? What are red flags in AI consulting?How do you evaluate AI governance solutions? What makes a good Shadow AI consultant? How do I avoid bad AI implementation advice?Let me be blunt. Most AI consultants don't understand Shadow AI. They'll sell you a policy. A training program. A technology platform. And six months later, your team is still using unapproved tools—they're just hiding it better.In this Forbes Friday episode, I'm calling out the AI consulting industry. Because too many executives are paying six or seven figures for solutions that look good on paper but fail in practice.The pattern I keep seeing:Consultants who focus on technology instead of psychologySolutions that optimize for compliance instead of adoptionFrameworks that work on slides but not in realityExpensive tools that no one actually usesThis episode gives you:The 5 red flags that mean a consultant doesn't understand Shadow AIThe questions to ask before you hire anyoneWhat real Shadow AI expertise actually looks likeHow to tell if you're buying a solution or buying theaterThe 5 Red Flags:They focus on policy before cultureThey promise "eliminate Shadow AI" instead of "channel it"They sell technology first, behavior change secondThey don't mention psychological safetyThey've never actually implemented what they're selling, And after this episode, you'll know exactly what to ask. My book "The Coach's Brain Meets AI" is available on Amazon,If you have any questions Email me at [email protected] with me on LinkedinConnect with me on IG: @saharthereinventcoach #AI #Artificialintelligence #learningpodcast #DailyAI #leadershipcoach #executivepresence #BrainvsAI #neuroleadership #neuroscienceinleadership #Futureofwork #techtalk #innovation #AIpodcast #AIconversations #AIforeveryone #AIInsights #AItrends  #AICaféConversations #ChatGPT #NewWaveAI #AIExplained #TechSimplified  #AInotechrequired #HumancenteredAI  #AIForEveryone #OptimizeAI #AIChatbot #TechPodcast #UnderstandingAI #AIInteraction #PersonalizedAI #neuroscience  #humancenteredai #notechrequired #AItoolsforexecutives #AIandleadership #executivecoachingwithAI #AIcoachingtoolsforexecutives #ExecutiveLeadership  #NeuroscienceLeadership #ExecutiveTraining #ShadowAI #AILeadership #ExecutiveAITraining #PsychologicalSafety #NeuroscienceOfLeadership #AIAdoption #ChangeManagement #AIEthics #LeadershipDevelopment #AIForExecutives #OrganizationalTrust #AIPolicy #AIGovernance #ExecutiveCoaching #UnapprovedAITools #EmployeeAIUse #AIRiskManagement #BrandRiskAI #AIComplianceForLeaders #AIRegulations #LeadershipResponsibility  #AICompliance  #ExecutiveDecisionMaking #ProactiveLeadership  #AIAccountability #WaitingForAIRegulations #ShadowAIInOrganizations #HowToGovernAIWithoutRegulations #ExecutivesAndAICompliance #LeadingAIWithoutRules  #Organizationalchange #AIStrategy  #aistrategyforexecutives #executiveaiinsights #aileadershiptransformation #AITransformation #shadowAIrootcause #leadershipaccountabilityAI  #ExecutiveConfessiSupport the show--- AI Cafe Conversations: Neuroscience-based AI leadership for executives.
