Phase 2: Experiment
# Lead from the front
Go first on training and practice, and learn out loud.
You and your leaders should finish the training and try the sandbox before asking anyone else to. You can't stay fully current on AI, and you don't have to. Model curiosity, ask questions, and share what's hard as well as what works.
