Hands-on sessions teach you to use AI smartly for job apps, proposals, research—customizing to slash 80-90% of your time.

Tip 2: Craft Amazing Prompts

Specific wins: "Rewrite this impact report intro for funders—short sentences, my direct tone, equity focus." Chain from brainstorm to draft.

Tip 3: Experiment with Custom Builds

Build PTs for grants, emails, newsletters. Chain tools—one for ideas, one for edits. Workshop demos it all. We will do this in the Career Campus workshop.

Tip 4: Know When Human is Better

AI speeds reps. But often faster and better human-first. Save it for drafts—keep your stories, passion alive.

Tip 5: Stay Ethical and Inspired

Disclose AI. Check biases. Fact-check. Ideas: AI for Impact newsletter of course. YouTube: Future Tools (youtube.com/@futuretools), Matt Wolfe (youtube.com/@mreflow).
