Keep it Human offers practical, research-backed AI for business workshops and seminars to help organizations stay in charge of what happens next.
Founder & CEO
Maura Charles
Maura Charles spent 25 years as the human who fixed what wasn't working inside Fortune 500 organizations before founding Keep it Human to help companies do it right the first time.
Her workshops and intensives are equal parts wake-up call and action plan: what AI actually does, what it costs you if you don't pay attention, and exactly what to do about it.

From public workshops to private intensives — every session is built around one principle: humans stay in charge.

Tier 1 — Public Workshops
Still in Charge: What You Need to Know Before You Hand the Keys to AI
60-Minute Keynote with Q&A
High-impact session for conferences, association meetings, and corporate events. Covers AI behaviors, biases, and blind spots — plus a clear framework for staying in charge.
Half-Day Workshop
A deeper dive for organizations ready to move from awareness to action. Structured working sessions where teams apply the framework to their own context.
Tier 1 — Public Workshops
AI 101 for Organizations
The most effective AI training isn't about the tools — it's about building the judgment to use them well. Hands-on, no-jargon, and built around real workflows. Teams leave with prompts, templates, and a shared foundation for human-centered AI adoption.
Hands-on & no-jargon
Built around real workflows your team already uses
Practical takeaways
Prompts and templates your team can use immediately
Shared foundation
A common language for human-centered AI adoption

All Tier 1 sessions available for conferences, corporate events, association meetings & private bookings. Duration: 1, 2, or 4 hours.
Tier 2 — Humans Decide. AI Complies.
For Leadership Teams
The most consequential AI decisions in your organization aren't being made by your technology team. They're being made by you. This half-day session helps C-suite leaders define where human judgment is non-negotiable and what responsible AI governance looks like in practice.
Built around the Human Mandate Canvas — a structured framework for defining the boundaries of AI authority inside your organization.

Tier 2 — Humans Decide. AI Complies.
For Product & Technology Teams
Your team is already building with AI. The question is whether anyone's decided what humans still own — and what happens when that line disappears.
This half-day working session gives product and engineering leaders the structure to make AI decisions they can stand behind, ship faster without losing accountability, and stop treating "we'll figure out governance later" as a strategy.
1
Decision Authority
A clear framework for which calls stay human, which get automated, and who's accountable when it's not obvious.
2
Shared Language
Your product, design, and engineering teams stop talking past each other on AI risk — and start building with a common operating vocabulary.
3
Workflow Integration
Not theoretical. Your team applies tools directly to active product decisions before they leave the room.
Tier 3 — Private Intensives
