Introducing The AI SKILL PYRAMID
the four-workshop series that takes you
from AI anxious to fully automated.

The AI SKILL PYRAMID is a four-tier live virtual workshop series from PROX AI — the AI training division of Proximity Leadership Network. Jump in at any level. Go as far as you want.

Anxious
Skilled
Building
Automating

The best leaders of tomorrow are learning AI today.

PROX AI is the AI training division of Proximity Leadership Network. The AI SKILL PYRAMID is its flagship workshop series.

PROX AI was built for managers, directors, VPs, and C-suite executives who know AI is changing everything and are ready to get ahead of it. PROX AI offers AI tools training, productivity workshops, and consulting for leaders and businesses.

The AI SKILL PYRAMID is PROX AI’s flagship four-workshop series — a practical, step-by-step progression that meets you exactly where you are, whether you’ve never touched an AI tool or you’re ready to build automations that run your workflows while you sleep.

Each workshop stands alone. Every one builds on the last. You choose your starting point and go as far as you want to go.

The Complete AI SKILL PYRAMID

Four workshops. Four replays. One price.

Purchase the full series upfront and every replay is yours FREE — a $76 value, delivered automatically after each live event.

Buy each workshop individually and replays cost $19 each — $76 total. Buy the bundle and that $76 disappears. Same content. Same access. Better deal. And if you wait until after a workshop date to buy the replay separately, the price jumps significantly. The bundle locks everything in before the dates arrive.

Every workshop stands alone. Jump in at the level that fits your experience — and add the replay at checkout for just $19 before the date arrives.

Not everyone needs to start at the beginning — and that’s by design. Maybe you’ve already been experimenting with AI tools and you’re ready to skip straight to building. Maybe you’re simply curious about what AI can do for you right now, without any interest in building automations or custom workflows — and that’s completely valid too.

Each workshop is built to deliver real, immediate value exactly where you are — no prior workshop required. Jump in at Tier 1, Tier 3, or anywhere in between. The only rule: start somewhere.

The reality

You’re not behind because you’re incapable. You’re behind because no one has shown you how — yet.

AI is not a threat. It’s a performance multiplier. Think of it like having a highly capable assistant that works at the speed of thought — but only if you know how to direct it.

When decisions are made about who stays and who goes, the person who saves time, produces more, and leverages tools effectively becomes indispensable. That person can be you.

“After this workshop, the anxiety I had about AI is gone — and I can see how it could easily give me 8 hours of my time back each week.”
Live attendees only

Your real work. Done for you. On day one.

During the live demos, Sandy uses attendees’ actual day-to-day tasks as the examples — so you may walk away with a real, working AI output built around your job, not a generic demo. The recording captures the content. It cannot capture your moment.

The reality

Most people use AI and get mediocre results. Not because the tools are bad — but because the input is.

AI doesn’t fail because it’s incapable. It fails because it wasn’t given what it needs to succeed. Vague input produces vague output. Context-rich input produces results that feel like magic.

This workshop teaches you exactly how to communicate with AI so it delivers what you actually want — every single time. When you get this right, an entire business day’s worth of time opens up every week.

“I had no idea the way I was talking to AI was the problem. After this workshop I got better results in one afternoon than I had in months of trying on my own.”
Live attendees only

Your real prompts. Rebuilt live. In the room.

Sandy takes real inputs from live attendees and rebuilds them on the spot — showing exactly what changes and why the output improves. You can’t replicate that experience from a recording.

The reality

Knowing which tools to use and how to talk to them is powerful. Building with them is a force multiplier.

The leaders who will have the greatest competitive advantage aren’t just using AI — they’re building systems with it. Custom tools tailored to their work. Playbooks their teams can follow. Repeatable processes that don’t depend on them being in the room.

This workshop is where you stop being an AI user and start being an AI builder. No coding required.

“I came in thinking this would be too advanced for me. I left with a working custom GPT built around my actual job. I use it every single day.”
Live attendees only

Build your actual project. Live. In the workshop.

This isn’t a watch-and-learn session. Sandy builds with attendees in real time, using your actual work as the use case. You may leave with a working custom AI tool already built around your job.

$697
One-time registration

Add the replay for just $19 at checkout. After Jul 25, the replay will only be available as a standalone purchase at $736. Lock in the lower price now.

The reality

The leaders who will define the next decade aren’t just using AI. They’re deploying it.

Agents and automations are the difference between a leader who saves hours and a leader who multiplies their capacity entirely. When your AI works around the clock — handling tasks, triggering workflows, making decisions within defined parameters — your ceiling disappears.

This is the workshop where everything you’ve learned in the series comes together into systems that run without you having to be in the room.

“I built an automation in this workshop that replaced three hours of manual work my team was doing every single week. It runs itself now.”
Live attendees only

Build a working automation. In the session. Before you log off.

This is the most hands-on workshop in the series. Sandy builds live with attendees — and you build alongside her. The goal is for you to leave with at least one working automation deployed around your actual workflow.

Live automation builds
Build and deploy a real automation during the session — not just watch it happen

Sandy is an executive consultant with 35 years of experience working with CEOs and senior leaders across the financial services industry — and a certified AI professional.

She built PROX AI because the leaders she works with kept asking the same question: “Where do I even start with AI?” This series is that answer — practical, fast, and built for people who don’t have time to figure it out alone.

100%
Risk Free
Guarantee

You have nothing to lose — and an entirely different relationship with AI to gain.

Every PROX AI workshop comes with a full, no-questions-asked refund policy. If life happens and you can’t make it, you’re covered.

Your only risk is staying exactly where you are today.

  • Full refund available up to 24 hours before your workshop date — no questions, no forms, no explanations
  • Simply email [email protected] with your name and order details — that’s it
  • Bundle refunds are prorated — if you’ve already attended one or more workshops, the value of those sessions is deducted and the remainder is refunded in full
  • Replay add-ons are non-refundable once the recording has been delivered — but you’ll want it

To request a refund, email [email protected] at least 24 hours before your event. Refunds are processed promptly to your original payment method. The only thing that isn’t refundable is time — and the leaders who start learning AI today will be the ones others are trying to catch up to a year from now.

The only wrong move is waiting.

AI isn’t slowing down. The leaders who start now will be the ones setting the standard a year from now. Choose your starting point — or commit to the full journey.
