Built from the Executive Director's chair

I built the starting point I wish I'd had.

I've worked inside these tools since 2022. More importantly, I've sat in your chair. I led a nonprofit with a nearly $700,000 budget, employees, a board of directors, committees, and a mission that never stopped needing care.

I built this cohort around the better starting point I wish I'd had as an ED. It turns years of AI practice into a clear sequence you can use to make sound decisions, get stronger results, and keep your organization's voice intact. The room is intentionally small so we can go deep and I can give individual attention where it's needed.

What you leave with

An AI foundation that travels with you.

  • An organizational constitution that tells AI who you are before it writes
  • A practical Acceptable Use Policy for your team
  • Your organization's voice, identity, and non-negotiables written down
  • A map of the knowledge and documents your AI setup needs
  • A prompt-creation philosophy for getting stronger outcomes from the tools
  • Ways to use AI as a thought partner and for well-defined tactical work
  • A governance habit for reviewing what works, what drifts, and what changes
  • A close network of nonprofit leaders who learned beside you
Ten seatsIntentionally small for deeper questions, concerns, and individual attention

Fit matters

This room works best when you're ready to build.

This is for you when

  • You lead a nonprofit and your team has already begun using AI
  • You want a practical starting point that keeps the mission and leadership decisions in view
  • You'll complete short reading and reflection before each session
  • You are willing to build in your own account during the live work
  • You can use two screens, or a computer and tablet, during the working sessions

Choose a different path when

  • You want someone to make every AI decision for your organization
  • You need a private assessment before learning in a group
  • You cannot attend the live Wednesday sessions
  • You need a course tied to one required software platform

Your working setup

You don't need technical experience.

You'll need your own computer and a paid subscription to either ChatGPT or Claude. Two screens are strongly recommended. I'll teach, share slides, and send you into working sessions while you build in your own account. A second monitor or tablet lets you keep the lesson open while you work. It isn't a reason to stay out of the room. I'll provide a single-screen setup guide for anyone who needs it.

The fine print

Know what is included before you pay.

The first cohort is underway. The next cohort is planned for October 2026. Exact dates, investment, and refund terms will be published before enrollment opens.

A participant who completes the pre-work, attends the sessions, and does not leave with a working setup and clear path forward will be offered a one-to-one working session or a credit toward further work, at Tricia's discretion.
