The AI Mentor
BEHAVIOUR PROFILEBEHAVIOUR KIT
Lauren Kelly
They’re the go-to person for all things AI. Whether it’s tools, tips, or training, they’re always helping others catch up. They love sharing what they know, and they’re good at it. But if all roads lead to them bottlenecks form, things slow down and they burn out.
How to spot them
Signature behaviours:
Runs team demos – Hosts training sessions or office hours.
Shares best practices – Posts AI tips, workflows, or how-tos.
Supports everyone – Answers AI questions across roles and teams.
Builds resources – Creates FAQs, guides, and templates.
Promotes consistency – Helps teams use AI the right way, not just any way.
What this means for you:
They accelerate AI adoption through hands-on support.
They build team confidence by making AI feel approachable.
But if their support isn’t systemised, they become a single point of failure.
With the right setup, they become a force multiplier across the organisation.
The challenges they create
⚠️ Bottleneck risk – Everyone waits on them for answers or permission.
⚠️ Burnout zone – Constant support requests can drain their energy and focus.
⚠️ Dependency culture – Teams stop trying to solve problems on their own.
⚠️ Limited scale – Their influence stays small without systems or support.
What to do
Build mini-mentors
Encourage them to train others to teach, not just use.
Spot and support emerging AI champions across teams.
Build a network of AI go-to’s, not just one hero.
Systematise their smarts
Help them create templates, toolkits, and recorded walkthroughs.
Set up an internal AI knowledge base or FAQ system.
Offer structured office hours to manage requests and protect focus.
Protect their growth time
Reduce repetitive requests by training for self-sufficiency.
Recognise and reward team members who troubleshoot on their own.
Give them time to explore new tools so they can lead with insight, not exhaustion.
