Red Team Thinking
in the Age of AI
Use AI to sharpen your thinking — not replace it.
Reserve Your SeatEveryone Is Racing to Adopt AI. Almost No One Is Stopping to Question It.
You've felt the pull. A tool that answers instantly, confidently, and in full sentences is hard to argue with — so most people don't. They take the output, tidy it up, and move on.
That is exactly the problem. The same qualities that make AI so useful — its speed, its fluency, its endless supply of plausible answers — make it the most seductive new source of unexamined assumptions your thinking has ever encountered. It will hand you a polished plan built on premises no one has tested. It will agree with you a little too readily. It will state guesses as facts and never flinch.
For the people whose work is judgment — coaches, consultants, advisors, leaders — that is not a small risk. It is the whole game. The professionals who win the next decade won't be the ones who adopt AI fastest. They'll be the ones who know how to think with it without surrendering their judgment to it.
Pair the Most Powerful Thinking Tools Ever Built With the Most Powerful Tool You Already Have
Red Team Thinking® is a methodology for stress-testing decisions before reality does it for you — field-tested critical-thinking tools drawn from U.S. Army red teaming and cognitive science, used by businesses, militaries, and governments around the world. This course puts those tools to work alongside AI, and then turns them back on AI itself.
Over two days, you'll learn to use AI as a force multiplier for human red teaming — and to red team the machine's own output, so you catch the assumptions it quietly inherits. AI does the heavy lifting of breadth. You do the irreplaceable work of judgment. That division of labor is the entire course.
Two Movements, One Discipline
Red Teaming With AI
Put AI to work as a tireless thinking partner that expands what you can see.
- Use AI to surface the stated and unstated assumptions buried in any plan — then interrogate them, live, using Assumptions Challenge™.
- Turn AI into a relentless devil's advocate that stress-tests ideas without the politics.
- Leave with a working method you can run on a real decision the same night.
Red Teaming the AI
Turn the same discipline on the machine — because a confident answer is not a correct one.
- Treat an AI's recommendation as a plan built on assumptions, and run red-team tools on its reasoning.
- Hunt the failure modes that matter: hallucination, sycophancy, false confidence, and anchoring.
- Assemble both halves into one repeatable human-AI-human loop you'll use for the rest of your career.

Built for People Whose Work Is Judgment
This course is designed for coaches, consultants, and advisors who want to bring AI into their practice without diluting the thinking that makes them valuable — and for leaders and decision-makers who want sharper judgment in a faster, noisier world.
No technical background is required, and no prior Red Team Thinking® training is assumed. If you make decisions that matter — or help others make them — you're in the right room.
