AI can be amazing… but it doesn’t read minds (not yet) 😉
In this week’s post, I put together a simple 6-part framework so you don’t have to learn AI the hard way.
Think of it as the recipe card I wish I had when I started experimenting.
Inside you’ll find:
✔ How task + context change everything (for the better)
✔ Why format and tone matter more than you’d think
✔ Real before-and-after examples to show how it works

A little Career Insight Studio inspo to start the week…
Progress over perfection.
It’s the pep talk I give myself every. single. day.
Show up.
Experiment.
Learn.
Grow.
Because the messy first draft is still a step forward.
And moving forward is the whole point.
So take the step.
Hit publish.
Raise your hand.
Send the email.
Ask for the help you need.
It’s not comfortable but your future self will thank you.
At least that’s what I say to myself on repeat these days 😉

• Why visibility and personal connections matter more than ever
• Practical ways to help—whether it’s offering your time, your strengths, or simply checking in
