Athena AI Academy Cohort 2 | Beyond the Fear: Leading the New Age of AI, Inclusively
A six-week AI-Inclusive Leadership certification built with Full Fathom Five, capped at 20 participants for deep engagement and community-driven learning.
Athena is stepping boldly into the AI era with a learning experience designed for those who thrive when learning in community. In partnership with Full Fathom Five AI, we are launching a transformative, community-centered curriculum preparing you to use AI responsibly, creatively, and inclusively.
This Academy is built on a simple belief: AI leadership is not about mastering technology, it is about advancing people. And no one should navigate this shift alone.
Where technical understanding meets human-centered leadership — six weeks, two hours per week, live instructor-led sessions with applied practice, facilitated peer dialogue, and a capstone project. Kickoff on June 2 runs an extended 2.5 hours (8:30 – 11:00 am PT). All remaining sessions run 8:30 – 10:30 am PT. All sessions are recorded for on-demand access.
This program is designed for early- to senior-level leaders, emerging executives, technical and non-technical professionals, and male allies committed to inclusive progress in the AI age. Whether you are just beginning your AI journey or already experimenting with tools, the Athena AI Academy helps you move from curiosity to confidence.
Seats are limited. Learning is collective. Leadership is the outcome.
