SUMMARY:The 90/10 AI Accelerator with Brian Hanley
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\n\nPractical\, hands-on AI training for small business owners with Brian Hanley. Learn where AI helps\, then put it to work the next day. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Brian Hanley\, Founder of The Alignment Company\, for a hands-on look at how to actually put AI to work in your business. \nHere’s what to expect from this session: how to think about AI\, and what you’ll actually walk away able to do. \nYour job is not to use AI. Your job is to decide where AI actually helps your business and where it doesn’t. AI can generate a first draft\, a summary\, an email\, a report in seconds. It cannot decide what matters to your customers\, what your standards are\, or what your business is really trying to do. That judgment is yours\, and no tool replaces it. The businesses that win with AI aren’t the ones using it the most. They’re the ones using it in the right places\, for the right reasons\, while keeping their own judgment in charge of the result. \nWhat we’ll cover: In this two-hour session\, we’ll give you a clear way to think about where AI fits in your business\, then spend most of the time putting it to work. We’ll briefly cover how to make good decisions about AI use in a small business\, so you have a simple filter for “should I use this here or not.” From there\, we’ll move into hands-on practice: using AI for the tasks that eat up your time as an owner\, like customer communication\, marketing content\, and day-to-day admin\, so you leave with skills you can use the next day\, not just concepts. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-9010-ai-accelerator-tickets-1998972789424?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”21px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Mind your business: Self-care & burnout prevention

Interactive session with EQ practice. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Brittany Clausen\, Founder & CEO of Envision Greatness for Mind Your Business: Self-Care and Burnout Prevention. \nWorkshop Description: \nEffective leadership starts with self-leadership. Before guiding others\, leaders must develop self-awareness\, set healthy boundaries\, and communicate effectively—especially in today’s high-stress\, rapidly changing environment. \nIn the nonprofit sector\, where funding is often tied to grants\, shifting priorities\, and political changes\, leaders must navigate uncertainty while maintaining stability for themselves and their teams. \nThis interactive session explores the complexities of balancing organizational demands with personal well-being in a sector where financial fluctuations and policy shifts can alter the course of work overnight. Participants will learn strategies to set clear boundaries\, say “no” effectively\, and ask clarifying questions to drive productive conversations without misinterpretation. \nThrough guided discussions and an emotional intelligence (EQ) improv scenario\, attendees will practice direct yet strategic communication techniques to navigate workplace dynamics\, reduce defensiveness\, and foster open dialogue. The session will also address burnout’s impact on leadership and equip participants with self-regulation\ntools to lead with resilience. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Identify key strategies for setting and maintaining boundaries to prevent burnout.\n2. Develop effective ways to say “no” and ask clarifying questions to align expectations.\n3. Practice direct communication techniques that minimize defensiveness and encourage open dialogue.\n4. Apply emotional intelligence skills to navigate leadership challenges with confidence and clarity. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/mind-your-business-self-care-burnout-prevention-tickets-1998972992030?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”21px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
