AI keynotes and hands-on AI workshops
It's All in My Head: Getting Your Business Out of You and Into Your Team
Most kitchen and bath businesses run on what the owner remembers: which client changed their mind about the countertop, why that vendor gets the second call, what "done" means on an install. This session shows owners how to get that knowledge into a form their team can use, with AI doing the heavy lifting.
Built on the Quest Cabinetry story: 16 to more than 60 active projects with one added hire.
Audience: dealer and showroom owners, design-build firms, NKBA chapters · Format: keynote or 60-minute chapter program
Attendees will be able to
- identify three kinds of owner knowledge that put a kitchen and bath business at risk when they live in one person's head
- describe a step-by-step method for turning a recorded conversation into a written record the team can act on
- choose one task in their own business to document with AI the following week
Lives in the owner's head
Recorded conversation + AI
In your team's hands
AI Curious to AI Capable
AI tools change every few weeks, and most business owners are still deciding how far to trust them. This keynote takes a room from "I should learn about AI" to "I'm using it this week," with a plain-language map of what AI does well, where it fumbles, and how to keep client information safe.
Audience: conferences, associations, mixed-experience rooms · Format: 45–100 minute keynote · Delivered: Montana Society of CPAs annual conference keynote (2026)
Attendees will be able to
- define the core AI terms they need to evaluate tools and vendors
- tell apart tasks AI handles reliably from tasks where it fails
- explain the difference between privacy and security when choosing an AI tool
- apply everyday management skills to directing AI work
Your First Week of AI Experiments (hands-on AI training for employees)
The "what do I do on Monday morning" workshop. Attendees bring real tasks from their own jobs and leave with three AI experiments to run the following week.
Audience: teams of 5 to 50, corporate AI training, leadership retreats, conference breakouts, lunch-and-learns · Format: 50–120 minute hands-on workshop with printed workbook · Delivered: Banner Health HR leadership team; Montana Society of CPAs breakout (2026)
Attendees will be able to
- sort their own tasks with the time-suck, soul-suck and "intern draft" tests
- decide when AI fits a task by asking whether they can judge the output and whether the thinking matters more than the result
- write a four-part brief that gives AI the context it needs, then revise it from the result
- commit to a written plan for three experiments with a check-in partner
Two-part program
Part 1 is AI Curious to AI Capable. Part 2 is Your First Week of AI Experiments. Built for two-session events and continuing education programs.
CEU / CPE: The Montana Society of CPAs granted CPE credit for both parts in 2026. Learning objectives, program level and session details are provided for your filing.
What organizers say
Brandy brought an engaging and approachable perspective to AI at our Annual Conference, helping our members think about how they can begin incorporating AI into their everyday work. Her hands-on breakout session was especially well received, giving attendees practical tools and a framework they could take back to their firms and organizations. She helped make a rapidly evolving topic feel more accessible and actionable.
“Definitely consider Brandy for speaking opportunities, her energy is magnetic and she is extremely knowledgeable.”
“I specifically enjoyed how you explained how anyone, at any point, can begin to build a successful sales system, as many older K+B professionals in the industry are not savvy with CRMs and PM software.”

How can kitchen and bath dealers, showrooms and remodelers use AI without buying new software?
Brandy Lawson recommends starting with tasks that already happen every day: meeting recaps, client follow-up emails, order checklists and team handoffs. A well-written brief to an AI assistant handles a first draft of each, and the team reviews it.
