You already know what the work was worth. Here is how to say it in the room where it matters. This is the last of our 4 week series, From Builder to Strategist: How to Use AI with Intention and Prove Your Work is Working. Thanks for joining me this month. There is a...

Not a prompt list. Not a feature tour. This is what changes when you know what you are trying to solve before you open the chat window. Let me describe a scenario that will probably sound familiar. You have a project due. The timeline is tighter than it should be. You...

The field has moved. AI curiosity is over. Here is what we are being asked to do now, and why it lands on us. There was a period, not that long ago, where showing up to a meeting with an AI-generated first draft felt like a flex. You were early. You were curious. You...

The language you use to describe your work is shaping what your organization asks of you. Here's what happens when you change it. A prospective client came to me a couple of weeks ago with a straightforward request. He had a newly merged executive team of eight senior...

Your skepticism about AI content is correct. Not the version that says AI will replace instructional designers. That's a different argument and not the one we're having here. I mean the specific, grounded skepticism that says: I have seen the outputs, I know what flat...

I want to be upfront about something before we get into this. This is not a polished walk-through of the times AI made my work effortless and brilliant. This is the real version, including the outputs I had to rewrite significantly, the prompts that missed because I...

I am here with another opinion. Let's be honest for a second. You've seen the bad AI content. We all have. The eLearning module that sounds like it was written by someone who has never been inside an organization. The facilitator guide that hits every best practice...

You have seventeen browser tabs open right now. (I just counted mine, 29 for me 🤦‍♀️). One of them is an article about AI tools you bookmarked three weeks ago. Maybe four. You meant to read it during your lunch break, but lunch was at your desk and you spent it...

I want to show you exactly how I go from a blank document to a finished video asset that is ready to drop into Rise, Storyline, or a slide deck for a live session. Not the ideal version. The actual version I use when I have a real deadline and a stakeholder who needs...

I want to tell you about a small shift that changed how our team starts every Articulate Storyline eLearning project. (You could do the same for Captivate too). Early in my career, my storyboard lived in a Word doc. That is what I learned to do in my master’s program....

Not a feature tour. Not a sponsored post. Just the five things I actually reach for when I'm under pressure and need my work to look professional without adding three hours to my day. I want to be upfront about something before we get into this. I'm not going to tell...

Let me guess how Canva shows up in your work right now. You open it when you need a quick title slide that doesn't embarrass you. Maybe a job aid that your SME won't tear apart from being too plain. Sometimes an infographic, if you have the bandwidth. And then you...
