For nonprofit Executive Directors · Live online · Ten seats
Learn what matters. Build what you will use.
You'll leave with more confidence, a practical AI foundation, and a clear way to decide what comes next. After years of daily work with AI, this is where I would start: with the leadership decisions, working tools, and organizational foundation that make everything after it more useful.
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
The learning sequence
Leadership decisions come before the tool.
Each step earns the next. You'll use the AI platform your organization can access and support.
- Pre-read · Read and reflectBegin with Becoming. Complete a short identity audit before the first session.
- Week 1 · Set the foundationUnderstand how AI works, name your boundaries, and draft the constitution and shared-use guidance.
- Week 2 · Define and teachWrite your organizational identity and gather the source material your setup needs.
- Week 3 · Communicate and governBuild useful workflows, teach the voice, and set a review rhythm.
- Week 4 · LeadUse the tools with more confidence and leave with a clear next-quarter plan.
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.
For the board or budget approver
What the organization is paying for.
This is a working program with reusable organizational assets, not a general AI presentation.
The fine print
Know what is included before you pay.
The founding price is $650, paid once at enrollment.
Pre-work releases around August 12. A full refund is available through August 12. After that date, the payment is non-refundable because the publications and course material have been delivered.
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.
Cohort 1 begins August 19, 2026
Ten people. Four Wednesdays. A philosophy that stays with you.
One payment. Full founding cohort investment.
