Michelle Lentz

Consultant in Seattle, WA, United States

In Search Of ... a role working in the intersection of artificial intelligence and human development, such as AI and change management, AI and HR, AI within organizational development, or AI training and education. I want to effect change and make a positive impact on the exciting future of work.

Strategist: I'm happy whether I'm defining your blueprint for organizational AI or defining how your people strategies can be more efficient and streamlined with the addition of technology. I am also an effective manager of both people and processes. I love managing teams, and I thrive on organization, which means I'm an efficient project - and product - manager.

Girl Geek: I'm a self-confessed gadget-aholic and suffer from Early Adopter Syndrome. I am fascinated by AI and want to help organizations and individuals understand the good, the great, the bad and the ugly. I love to offer workshops on everything from basic prompting to design thinking in AI, and I'm passionate about copyright, ethics and AI governance. Call me a cautious accelerationist, with a dose of Humanism. As of December, 2024, I will have a Certification in Artificial Intelligence in Business from Arizona State University.

Coach: I am actively pursuing my coaching certification through the International Coaching Federation. Additionally, using Hogan Assessments and 360 Feedback, I can walk you through these results and expose the exceptional growth opportunities they present. I'm also a co-founder and director of L&D Cares, a non-profit that offers coaching and mentoring to members of the HR/Talent Management community.

Trainer: Software or soft skills, I can train you. There is nothing I love more than to lead a classroom session. I am also certified in Synchronous Delivery (virtual via WebEx, Zoom, or Teams).

Technical Writer and Editor:I have a degree in English with an emphasis in Technical Writing. I live by the maxim that brevity is the soul of wit. From technical manuals to online help, I have no problem translating technical knowledge into organized, easy to understand information. I am a word nerd.

Then there's the wine: Level 1 Sommelier (before the test was online). Off and on (mostly off), I maintain a blog/newsletter on books and wine called The Grape Gatsby. Years ago, I was the executive editor and founder of My Wine Education, an award-winning wine blog sourced by Gannett Newspapers.
