Maria Bereket AI for Work & LIFE

Guiding You Through the AI Era—With Humanity, Strategy, and Simplicity

I’m Maria Bereket—a lifelong marketer, early adopter of digital technology, and now a leading voice helping businesses and professionals integrate AI with clarity, confidence, and purpose. 

I’ve spent decades helping people embrace change. From the early days of web design to the rise of social media and now artificial intelligence, my work has always been about one thing: simplifying the complex so we can move forward—together.

The Shift That Changed Everything

As an early adopter, I knew AI was going to change everything—but I didn’t expect it to happen this fast.

That realization hit me during a LinkedIn training for a group of professionals in career transition. At first, they were skeptical, even intimidated. But something shifted when we stopped talking about AI and started speaking to it. 

In that moment, I saw what’s really at the core of AI integration: 
The ability to speak AI. And more importantly—the ability to see ourselves in the process.

What I Believe

  • Experience accelerates growth, especially when paired with curiosity and openness to change.
  • Disruption doesn’t have to be overwhelming — we just need human-centered frameworks to navigate it.
  • I use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to help teams collaborate and innovate from a place of shared understanding.
  • Marketing is the circulatory system of every organization. When empowered to collaborate across departments, it can lead the charge in responsible, scalable AI adoption.

What I Do

I work with forward-thinking organizations and professionals to redefine productivity, leadership, and innovation in the age of AI. 

Through my consulting services, custom workshops, and the AI for Work & LIFE podcast, I help you: 

  • Create time for innovation by using AI as a tool, not a threat
  • Guide teams through structured 3-month pilot programs
  • Train leaders and professionals to communicate with AI—confidently and strategically
  • Make change collaborative, human, and impactful
