Free: The Her AI Edit Playbook — 10 AI workflows every female entrepreneur should steal.
Work With Cheryl
I help female entrepreneurs running service-based businesses install custom AI — built around how they actually work, in the tools they already use.
AI configured to your voice and your standards
Workflows you can install in 90 minutes that save 10+ hours
Three offer tiers — start small, grow into the right level
Implementation-first — every engagement leaves you with running AI
The work that doesn't need you is eating the time you need for the work that does. Triage, prep, recaps, proposals, follow-up — it's the invisible weight that keeps you in the weeds instead of leading. Here's how we take it off your plate.
Ready for more?
Three paths forward.
4-week custom build
AI Chief of Staff Build
Investment: $7,500-$12,000. We design and install a complete AI Chief of Staff configured to your business, your voice, and your workflows. Includes: discovery + mapping, AI prompt engineering, tool integration, testing, team training, 30-day support.
Best for: founders ready to operate with AI as a permanent part of their business.
Embedded AI leadership
Fractional AI Officer
Investment: $5,000 audit + $5,000-$8,000/month retainer. Starts with a 2-week assessment, then ongoing AI strategy, implementation, and team enablement.
Best for: female-led service-based businesses that want AI leadership without hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer.
The entry point
Owner's AI Brief
A 90-minute working session where we build three custom AI workflows live in your business. In your voice. On your tools. You walk away with AI that actually runs — not a strategy deck.

FROM MY OWN BUSINESS
Before I built custom AI for clients, I built it for myself.
I founded CL James Consulting after 27 years of Fortune 100 operations leadership — and still spent every day being the bottleneck. So I built three custom AI workflows for my own business: a custom AI assistant in my voice, a client recap and follow-up workflow, and a proposal drafting workflow.
What changed: 10+ hours back per week. Proposals 40% faster. 30% more clients served — same hours. Proposals close 30% more often.
Same three workflows we build in your business in the Brief.
What it’s like to work together
You’ll get a clear plan, clean execution, and systems your team can actually maintain.
Simple first
We start with the fastest AI win that creates real momentum
Follow-up focused
Inbox, meetings, proposals — handled by AI in your voice
Tool-agnostic
We use ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft, Google, Notion — whatever you already use
Built to hand off
Clear AI configurations your team can run without you
Documented
Documented AI prompts and configurations so it doesn't fall apart later
Sustainable
AI that supports steady growth — not constant firefighting
Use your current tools
We work in the tools you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, your CRM. No new subscriptions, no new logins, no new tech stack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is the AI Brief required?
Not required, but it's the recommended starting point — the lowest-risk way to see what custom AI looks like in your business.
Q2: How long does implementation take?
The Brief is 90 minutes. The AI Chief of Staff Build runs 4 weeks. The Fractional AI Officer starts with a 2-week audit, then ongoing.
Q3: What do you need from me?
Access to the tools you already use, time for our working sessions, and timely feedback. I handle the building.
Q4: Can my team be involved?
Yes — team enablement and training are built into the AI Chief of Staff Build and the Fractional AI Officer retainer.
Q5: What happens after the Build?
You have a complete AI Chief of Staff running in your business. For ongoing strategy and refinement, the Fractional AI Officer retainer is available — no obligation.
