The Suon Program
Learn AI without losing yourself.
A 3-month program that strengthens your judgment, your intuition, and your connection to others while working with AI. For practitioners who want more than fluency.
The Hidden Problem
Most AI advice creates dependency.
The standard playbook focuses on outputs: faster, more, better. But experienced practitioners notice something else happening beneath the surface.
Research confirms it: when AI access was removed, students performed 17% worse than those who never had it. Dependency is real, and measurable.
- The delegation creep When "let AI handle it" becomes the default, not the choice
- The second-guessing Wondering if your instincts still hold weight
- The prompting spiral More iterations, less clarity on what you actually want
- The quiet phone Less collaboration when everyone's talking to AI instead
The Difference
"Prompting is a means. What we teach is how to stay sharp while using it."
The Framework
How to stay on top of AI
Anchor First
Know what you think before you prompt
Dialogue, Not Delegation
Stay in the conversation, not behind it
Surface What You Know
Say what only you can before AI fills the gap
Trace the Seams
Know what’s yours in every output
Close the Loop
Pause before you prompt again
Sharpen Others
Share what you learn with the people around you
The Program
3 months. 6 sessions. 1 community.
Bi-weekly sessions. Your own cases. Graduated integration into an ongoing practitioner community.
Month 1 The fog
Thinking before prompting
What you already know matters more than you think
Surfacing assumptions
What you're not telling the AI, or yourself
The trust question
You trust AI more than you trust colleagues. Why?
Arriving
Learning to notice your own state before opening a chat
Month 2 The clearing
Complex problems
When simple prompting stops working
The creation question
What's yours when AI helped make it?
Sitting with ambiguity
Not every problem needs an immediate answer
The loop
Recognizing when you're optimizing instead of progressing
Month 3 The practice
How it actually works
Understanding the machine changes how you use it
Helping others
The people around you are where this lands
What shifted
Your assessment, before and after
What stays
The community you keep practicing with
In the Room
What a session actually looks like
2 hours. A real case. Structured practice. No slides, no lectures.
Arrival
Each session opens with a brief centering practice. Not meditation, a functional reset. You notice where you are before you start working.
Case work
You bring a real problem. Not a hypothetical, something from your week. The group works it using structured frameworks: from basic prompting architecture to first-principles decomposition for problems you don't yet understand.
Peer exchange
Pair exercises, triad discussions, peer review. You question each other's assumptions, compare approaches, surface what you'd miss alone.
Practice integration
Each session introduces one of six research-backed practices. Concrete protocols for keeping your edge while working with AI. You apply them to your case before you leave.
Reflection
You close by naming what shifted. Not performance, honest noticing. This builds across sessions.
What Stays With You
Capability that compounds.
A prompting architecture that scales
From structured queries to decomposition strategies for problems where you don't know where to start.
Five approaches for complex tasks
Not templates. Decision frameworks for choosing how to work with AI based on what the task actually needs.
Six practices with research behind them
Each one tied to a specific moment in your AI workflow: before you open a chat, while you're deep in iteration, before you ship. Named, practiced, and backed by studies on automation bias, trust calibration, and metacognition.
The anatomy of what you create
A framework for seeing where you show up in AI-assisted work. Intent, sources, taste, voice. What's yours, what's the machine's, and where you choose to step in.
Proof of Change
Not just a feeling. We measure it.
Our pre/post assessment measures 5 competency domains and 10 metacognition indicators. Every participant receives an individual report showing their growth trajectory.
Organizations receive group reports with aggregate data for stakeholders.
The biggest gains aren't prompting skills. They're in metacognition. Specifically, learning from what went wrong.
* Mean shift on a 5-point scale, measured pre/post. A shift of this size reflects a full category change in self-reported behavior, not just knowledge retention.

What You Already Have
Your genius isn’t what you think it is
You’ve lived a life. Developed skills. Encountered problems and found your way through. You carry knowledge that’s yours alone. Shaped by your particular experience, invisible even to you until you articulate it. That’s your genius. Not genius as rare gift. Genius as the specific intelligence that’s yours.
AI doesn’t have it. It has patterns from everywhere and everyone. But not the knowing you’ve built through your own becoming. This program exists to help you bring that forward. Develop it. Use it. Share it.
Who This Is For
Is this for you?
You work with AI. Maybe a lot, maybe cautiously.
Either way, something feels off.
You're faster, but not sharper.
Output goes up. The quality of your thinking? You're not sure.
You've stopped struggling with problems.
And you miss what the struggle used to teach you.
You want to lead this, not just adopt it.
How your team works with AI starts with how you work with it.
You'd rather figure this out with others.
Not alone. Not in a course. In a room with people who take this as seriously as you do.
