About Monica
Monica Talan helps organizations and professionals make sense of AI in a way that is clear, practical, and grounded in real operational needs.
Her work centers on three ways to support adoption: interactive AI workshops for teams, fractional communications and AI guidance for organizations, and 1:1 AI coaching for professionals who want personalized support.
Drawing from experience across communications, media, blockchain education, community building, and emerging technology ecosystems, Monica brings a cross-disciplinary perspective to organizational learning and technology adoption.
