My 10-year-old wanted to ask ChatGPT what to paint
Monday Morning PR Minute ⏱️Your weekly dose of PR inspiration | Read time: 1 minute | Hi Reader, My daughter just turned 10, and a friend gave her a pottery painting kit for her birthday. The other day she pulled it out and sat down next to me while I worked at the kitchen island. She set everything up, looked at the blank dish, and asked if she could use ChatGPT for ideas on what to paint. I told her no. That she doesn't need a robot to help her be creative. This Week’s Quick PR Tip: Do Your Own Thinking First, Then Let AI HelpI'm not against the tool - as you know, I'm a big proponent of AI. What I wanted to protect was where the idea starts. She's one of the most creative kids I know, and I didn't want her to outsource that before she'd even tried. AI is great for getting things done. But YOU should decide what it's going to do. When you sit down to work on an announcement or a pitch, what's your first move? If it's opening ChatGPT or Claude and asking for the angle, you've handed over the part that's yours - your read on the moment and what you actually have to say. The tool is useful once you know what you want to say. It's a problem when you let it decide for you. So this week, a gut-check: have you been leading AI, or is AI leading you? In a world that's more AI-obsessed by the day, humans matter more than ever. The thinking and judgment should never be the robot's job - they're yours.

Monday Morning PR Minute ⏱️ Your weekly dose of PR inspiration | Read time: 1 minute | Hi Reader, You have difficult news to share with your community or customers, and every instinct is telling you to wait and hope no one notices. I've had two client conversations this month around this same thing. One had bad news to share with the people they serve and kept rewriting the message until it barely said anything. For another client, we were pitching a feel-good story, but they wanted us to...
Monday Morning PR Minute ⏱️ Your weekly dose of PR inspiration | Read time: 1 minute | Hi Reader, When was the last time something new got added to your overstuffed workload - today, maybe? My guess is your first thought wasn't "what can I let drop" - it was "how do I squeeze this in too?" I'm working with two comms leads living this every day. Both run their entire marketing and communications department for large nonprofits, solo. One's so buried in day-to-day tasks and requests she can't...
Monday Morning PR Minute ⏱️ Your weekly dose of PR inspiration | Read time: 1 minute | Hi Reader, My kids went back to school last week. 🙌 While my kids didn't want their frat house summer to end, it was time. IYKYK. Every morning since my son started kindergarten, I've said the same thing on the way out the door: "Have fun, work hard, and be kind." After a few weeks of hearing me say it to her brother, my daughter started asking me to "say me the words" when I dropped her off at preschool....
