A FREE THREE-PART SERIES · JUNE 2026
The HR AI conversation, made honest.
Three Thursdays in June. Three honest sessions for HR leaders who have heard the loud takes about AI and want a quieter, more discerning conversation about where it actually fits in HR work.
One sign-up. All three sessions. Recordings sent if you can't attend live.
WHY THIS SERIES
The conversation HR leaders should have been having for the last six months.
The AI conversation has reached HR. Most of what's being said is wrong. You've heard the loud takes. AI will replace your team. AI will write your policies for you. AI will solve the headcount problem.
You've also heard the quiet worry. The compliance risk. The voice you'll lose. The exhausted people on your team being asked to learn one more thing on top of everything else.
What's missing is the honest conversation. The one that names what AI actually is for HR practitioners, what it isn't, and what's true about the path forward for experienced HR leaders who refuse to be rushed into a half-built solution.
That is what this series is for.
THE THREE SESSIONS
Three Thursdays. One quiet build.
SESSION 01
Thursday, June 11 · 1 PM Pacific
The HR AI Problem Nobody Is Naming Honestly
The positioning session. We name what AI actually does (and doesn't do) in HR work, set up the language for the conversations you're already having with leadership and compliance, and give you a clear sense of where you actually are. Spoiler: probably further along than you think.
YOU'LL WALK OUT WITH
You walk into your next leadership conversation about AI already knowing what to say, instead of bracing for it.
SESSION 02
Thursday, June 18 · 1 PM Pacific
The Voice Lock, Live
The experiential session. Most AI tools sound like AI: polished, generic, slightly off. The Voice Lock is the specific, repeatable setup that fixes that. We build one live, with real HR work, and you'll see what changes when AI knows who you are before it tries to speak for you.
YOU'LL WALK OUT WITH
You see exactly what changes when AI starts from your voice, so what you get back is finally yours to send, not yours to rewrite.
SESSION 03
Thursday, June 25 · 1 PM Pacific
From Practice to Runway
The completion session. A real AI practice for HR isn't a tool. It's a small, tight system that protects your voice, runs your most-repeated work, and turns your expertise into reusable assets your team can learn from. We walk through what that practice looks like in full and discuss what's next for the HR leaders ready to keep building. Picture the Thursday where the policy summary that used to cost you ninety minutes is done in twelve, and still reads like you wrote every line. That is what the practice protects.
YOU'LL WALK OUT WITH
You leave knowing which one layer to build first, so the practice fits your real week instead of becoming another project.

HOSTED BY
Kimberly Washburn, Aveliara AI Studio.
Two decades inside HR and people leadership. Founder of Aveliara AI Studio. Builder of the CLEAR Method. I'm hosting this series because the AI conversation deserves better than what HR leaders are currently getting, and because I'd rather build the practice alongside other HR leaders than from above them.
THE SHIFT
You already know how to do the work. This is about how it travels.
There is a version of this where AI stays a thing you keep meaning to figure out. You use it nervously, rewrite most of what it gives you, and quietly wonder if you are behind.
There is another version. The one where AI carries your judgment instead of replacing it, sounds like you on your clearest day, and runs the work you have done a thousand times so your attention goes where it matters.
You do not become someone new in that version. You become a more supported, more leveraged version of the HR leader you already are. That is the whole point of the series.
