For more than two decades, LaVada and the Bright Places team have helped leaders and teams work better, through leadership development, education, coaching, and culture-building that strengthens trust and collaboration. Now, we've added practical AI to that foundation, because AI is already shaping how every leader works. Your leadership will include AI, either by design or by default, so we help you partner with it confidently, ethically, and in ways that lift your people, not replace them.
Bright Places is proud to partner with LISC LA in launching the AI Operational Readiness Program, and with the National Association for Women in AI (founded by LaVada English), a community that centers women while welcoming everyone. Together, we're building education, tools, and strategies that help leaders put AI at the heart of how they lead.
