Leave With Your Own Custom AI Agent. DESCRIPTION:TIGER Tools Workshop \nPlease arrive at 9:15 am.\nEnjoy coffee & morning snacks. Mingle. Make new friends. \nMost AI events show you what the technology can do. This hands-on TIGER Tools Workshop will help you build something your business can actually use. \nBRING YOUR LAPTOP and one recurring task\, bottleneck\, or workflow from your business that you would like to improve. Dr. Gleb Tsipursky will first show participants how to select a valuable use case\, define what the AI should and should not do\, and design a reliable workflow. Participants will then build and test a customized AI agent for their own work while receiving live coaching. \nYou will leave with one or more working prototypes that you can continue refining—not merely a collection of prompts or abstract ideas. The workshop is designed for entrepreneurs\, business leaders\, and professionals who want practical AI results without purchasing another expensive\, generic solution. \nNOTE FOR PARTICIPANTS: \n\nBefore this workshop\, create an account for at least one mainstream AI tool\, ideally ChatGPT or Claude.\nThat account should be set up on the laptop you bring and previously logged in successfully.\nA paid plan is helpful because free-tier limits could slow down your progress during hands-on work. However\, a paid subscription is definitely not required to participate in this workshop.\n\n*************** \nThis workshop will be led by Dr. Gleb Tsipursky\, a behavioral scientist\, dubbed “The Office Whisperer” by The New York Times. \nDr. Gleb helps tech-forward leaders stop overpaying for AI while boosting engagement and innovation. He serves as the CEO of the AI consultancy Disaster Avoidance Experts. Dr. Gleb has written seven best-selling books\, and his newest book is The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results (Georgetown University Press\, 2026). \nPrior to that\, he wrote ChatGPT for Leaders and Content Creators (2023). His cutting-edge thought leadership has been featured in over 650 articles in prominent venues such as Harvard Business Review\, Fortune\, and Fast Company. His expertise comes from over 20 years of consulting for Fortune 500 companies from Aflac to Xerox and over 15 years in academia as a behavioral scientist at UNC-Chapel Hill and The Ohio State University. A proud Ukrainian American\, Dr. Gleb lives in Columbus\, Ohio. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this workshop is FREE.\n\nSchedule:\n9:15 am – Breakfast / Socializing\n9:45 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd – 10 seconds per person\, please\n10:05 am – Hand-off to Dr. Gleb\n12:00 noon – Workshop Wrap / More Socializing \n\n\n\n\n \n Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.

Epstein turns that idea on its head\, exploring how boundaries\, limitations and trade-offs can actually make us more creative\, innovative and effective problem-solvers. \nTogether\, we’ll explore questions like: \n\nWhy can having fewer options sometimes lead to better ideas?\nHow can constraints spark innovation in business\, science and creative work?\nWhen do limits help us focus\, experiment and solve problems differently?\nAnd how can we create the right constraints for ourselves and our teams?\n\nThe evening will feature small-group discussion with plenty of room for conversation\, debate and unexpected connections. We’ll also leave time before and after the discussion to build friendships with others from the Innovate New Albany community. \nMeet Our Program Facilitators \nAndrew R. Summerfield\, Genetica Creative \nBrand strategist\, art school graduate\, and visual thinker. \nAndrew is interested in how people make meaning and how the right story can shape what they believe and do.\nLearn more about Andrew at geneticacreative.com. \nLaura Cree\, Genetica Creative\nWriter\, science storyteller\, and unapologetic book nerd. \nLaura loves exploring big ideas at the intersection of science and story\, and helping others make sense of them\, too. \nLearn more about Laura at geneticacreative.com \n*************** \nThis event is FREE\, but please register in advance.\nSchedule:\n6:00 – Light Bites / Mingle & Connect\n6:30 – Kick-off with Full Group\n6:45 – Breakout Group Discussions\n7:45 – Full Group Discussion\n8:15 – More Mingling\n8:30 – Event Concludes\n\n \n Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.

Eat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nMore than half the Fortune 500 has fallen off the list since 2000—not because those companies were badly run\, but because what worked for them stopped working faster than they could replace it. \nDrawing on 25 years of research & 14 years as a mining executive\, Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva\, will reveal the new rule of the post-stability economy: the winners won’t be those who endure disruption. They’ll be the ones who harvest it. \nIn this session\, you’ll get three science-based ways to turn disruption into profit — pulled straight from her forthcoming book\, “The Reinvention Advantage: How to Survive and Monetize Volatility in a World That Won’t Settle Down.” \nRegister now for this TIGER Talk to get the insights before the book hits the shelves\, and walk out with solutions you can put to work on Monday. \n*************** \nDr. Nadya Zhexembayeva was twelve years old when her country disappeared. Growing up in the rubble of the collapsed Soviet Union taught her that volatility is normal — and that the people who know how to move when everything is in flux are the ones who get to shape what comes next. \nShe has spent 25 years studying why some organizations thrive in permanent disruption and others don’t. Founder of Reinvention Academy and originator of the Chief Reinvention Officer role\, she runs the biennial Global Reinvention Survey — the world’s only longitudinal dataset tracking reinvention velocity. She spent 14 years as a mining executive\, and since 2012 has served as a fractional executive for Eurasian Resources Group (67\,000+ employees across Europe\, Asia\, and Africa). \nA former Coca-Cola Chaired Professor at IEDC-Bled School of Management\, she earned her PhD at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. Her clients include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, Coca-Cola\, IBM\, Cisco\, and L’Oréal\, and her work appears in Harvard Business Review\, Forbes\, and the Wall Street Journal. Her previous book\, “The Chief Reinvention Officer Handbook\,” won the Axiom Business Book Award and a Kirkus Star. \n“The Reinvention Advantage” publishes with Wiley on November 24. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE. \nSchedule:\n11:00 am – Coffee\, Snacks & Socializing.\n11:15 am – Lunch & More Socializing\n11:45 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (10 seconds or less)\n12:05 pm – Learn from Nadya\n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.

Eat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nEvent Description – in the words of our TIGER Talk leader\, Andy Hills: \nThe R Factor is a simple\, practical system for helping people perform better in the moments that matter most. It gives individuals\, leaders\, and teams a common language for handling pressure\, change\, adversity\, conflict\, and decisions with discipline instead of default. At its core\, \nThe R Factor helps people slow down\, see clearly\, and choose responses that improve performance\, relationships\, culture\, and results. It applies across industries because every business and every team faces moments where their response determines what happens next. \nIn this session\, we’ll unpack the simple formula behind the system and how it can help you create better outcomes in work and life. \n*************** \nWho should attend: \n\n\nLeaders\nBusiness Owners\nAnyone who is coachable and wants better results\n\n\nWhat you will learn: \n\n\nSuccess is not a secret\, it is a system. I will introduce a system for success that anyone can use.\nThe system we used in the SEAL Teams. The same system used by championship teams that I coach. The same system used by successful business leaders.\nA measurable system to assess\, adjust and improve results.\n\n*************** \nAndy Hills is a Retired Navy SEAL who is passionate about exceptional performance\, elite teams\, and leadership under pressure. He has developed and refined expertise in leadership\, teamwork\, communication\, decision-making\, resilience\, and execution in high-stakes environments. \nIn the SEAL Teams\, Andy led and served on teams responsible for high-risk\, high-impact\, and politically sensitive missions where trust\, discipline\, clarity\, and adaptability were mission-critical. That experience shaped his belief that elite performance is not accidental—it is built through shared standards\, disciplined behavior\, and the ability to respond effectively under pressure. After transitioning from the SEAL Teams\, Andy applied those principles as COO of a successful commodities trading business\, building a culture that drove strong results. \nToday\, as a Consultant with Focus 3\, Andy helps leaders and teams develop the mindset\, skillset\, and systems needed to create culture\, drive behavior\, and produce results. \nAndy brings a direct\, practical\, and mission-focused approach to helping teams perform at their best. He values Faith\, Family and Freedom. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE. \nSchedule:\n11:00 am – Coffee & Mingling\n11:15 am – Lunch & More Mingling\n11:45 am – Introduce Yourself to the Crowd (10 seconds or less)\n12:05 pm – Learn from Andy\n1:00 pm – Wrap & Even More Mingling \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.
