CTRL + CREATE: Put AI to Work: Less Admin, More Impact
Your team has a mission, customers to serve, and work that needs your attention. But meeting follow-ups, reports, emails, and recurring admin can take up more of your day than you planned.
In this free, 45-minute virtual workshop, you’ll learn three practical ways to use AI to move that work forward.
Built for nonprofit and small-business teams, this session uses live demonstrations to show you what to give AI, how to guide it, and how to review what it produces.
No coding required. No technical experience required. Just bring your laptop and one task you’d love to spend less time on.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Turn Meeting Notes Into Next Steps
Learn how to:
Turn messy notes into clear action items.
Organize responsibilities and deadlines when they’re included in your notes.
Draft a follow-up email your team can actually use.
Spot missing details before sending anything out.
Turn Existing Information Into Reports and Updates
Learn how to:
Use notes, project details, and existing materials to create a first draft.
Shape that draft for a donor, board member, customer, or internal team.
Give AI examples so the writing sounds like your organization.
Check facts and identify gaps before sharing the final version.
Build a Reusable AI Assistant
Learn how to:
Choose a recurring task that’s a good fit for AI.
Give your assistant clear responsibilities and instructions.
Provide the context it needs to produce useful results.
Save and refine those instructions so you can use them again.
We’ll also cover what information to keep out of AI tools and where your judgment still needs to lead.
THIS WORKSHOP IS PERFECT FOR:
Nonprofit leaders and program teams.
Small-business owners and entrepreneurs.
Operations and administrative staff.
Fundraising and communications teams.
Anyone handling multiple responsibilities on a small team.
You don’t need a large team to start building better ways to work.
WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH
By the end of the session, you’ll have:
A practical approach to turning meeting notes into follow-ups.
A framework for drafting reports and updates from information you already have.
A starting point for building your own reusable AI assistant.
A clearer sense of which tasks AI can help with and what you need to review.
Come with one recurring task. Leave knowing how to start putting AI to work on it.
