How do in-person sessions in Houston work?
Houston is a long way from Greenwich, Connecticut, where I'm based, and I travel there for in-person sessions. Greater Houston is spread out, so I come to wherever your office is: downtown, the Galleria and Uptown, the Energy Corridor along I-10, The Woodlands to the north, or Sugar Land to the southwest.
We set the date on the complimentary intro call and agree on the work you'll bring. I come to your office, and for two hours or a half-day we use AI on your real documents, at your pace. You need a laptop and access to the tools; I'll handle the rest.
Remote sessions are the same work over video, with your screen shared. Starting remote is a sensible way to get going before an in-person session in Houston.
What do Houston executives work on with AI?
Energy defines Houston's economy: oil and gas companies, the service and engineering firms around them, energy-transition businesses, and the petrochemical plants and port along the Ship Channel. The Texas Medical Center makes healthcare a second pillar, and aerospace, construction and professional services round it out. Executives here are surrounded by technical material written by specialists, and much of their job is turning it into decisions and plain-English communication.
- Translating a technical report, an engineering study or a regulatory filing into a summary you can act on, with the assumptions listed.
- Preparing a board, partner or lender update from operating data and your notes.
- Reading a joint venture agreement, a master services agreement or a long proposal, and flagging terms for your lawyers.
- Writing to employees about safety, a reorganization or a change in strategy, clearly and with the right tone.
- Researching a market, a regulation or a counterparty with sourced answers you can check before you rely on them.
- Pressure-testing a capital plan or an investment case by having the tool argue the other side.
How else can Houston executives learn AI?
A university course. Rice Business's Making Data-Driven Decisions with Agentic AI is a hands-on, eight-session live online course on building AI agents for data work, aimed at managers and analysts as well as executives; check the program page for dates.
A workshop for your leadership team sets a shared baseline and shared rules for confidential and technical data. If that's useful, we can scope one on the intro call.
Self-paced online courses are useful for vocabulary and inexpensive, though the exercises are never your own work.
The difference with 1-on-1 coaching is that nothing is generic: we work on your documents, and I watch how you use the tools and correct it in the moment. My side-by-side comparison of AI training for executives covers formats, time and published prices.

Common questions
Straight answers, the way I'd give them across a table.
Yes. I travel from Greenwich, CT to Houston and hold the session at your office, downtown or out in the suburbs. The date is fixed on the complimentary 30-minute intro call.
The 2-hour Deep Dive is $1,000; the half-day Intensive is $3,500. Those prices apply in Houston and online alike, and the 30-minute intro call before you commit is complimentary.
If you'd like the leadership team trained together, raise it on the intro call. We'll scope a workshop around your team's actual work and your company's rules on confidential data, and individual coaching for senior leaders can follow.
Yes, for the executive's side of the work: reading technical material, summarizing it, and writing about it for boards, partners and employees. AI tools can explain and condense engineering documents well, but they make mistakes with numbers, so we always check figures against the source. Engineering calculations stay with your engineers.
Yes. The Woodlands, Sugar Land, the Energy Corridor and the Galleria area are all part of my Houston travel area. Tell me where your office is on the intro call.
