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, I just finished season three of Shrinking and I'm so sad. The kind of sad of leaving people you loved spending time with. I was completely invested in the characters and loved the premise of the show: life is better when you have people in your corner. People who know you, who actually get it, who show up for you, and who make you better. This Week’s Quick PR Tip: Find Someone Who Gets It One of...
