Essential AI:
Tools and Techniques to 10x Your Impact
In an era where technology often favors large organizations and urban centers, AI provides a unique opportunity for small non-profits and rural businesses to thrive.
AI can empower you to do more with less, bridging the gap left by budget constraints and workforce challenges.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how AI can give you and your business or non-profit, superpowers. We’ll explore how simple it is to use AI as a collaborator, intern and assistant, even if you pretty much hate computers.
For those wanting a glimpse beyond the basics, we'll preview how AI can help automate repetitive tasks and assist in areas you may not have even thought of.
Completely updated for 2025, you'll get hands-on with the latest tools and techniques and an insider view of what other organizations are doing with AI.
You’ll learn to leverage AI as :
A coach & advisor to help with brainstorming and planning
A creative intern to help with content creation, repurposing, and editing
An executive assistant that helps with daily productivity
AI can be frustrating and confusing. It's often hard to step back and figure out the best ways to use it. We'll tackle those challenges, work through real-world applications, discover AI's limitations and address your concerns.
Together, we'll explore how combining the best of AI with our own unique skills and talents can unlock a new future for you and your organization.
