After two decades of navigating the mazes of Corporate America, I’ve transitioned to the dynamic world of business ownership. As Founder and Facilitator at The Collab Lab, Inc.™, I’m fortunate to equip professionals with the skills they need to elevate their careers.

Since my company’s inception in December 2022, I’ve juggled roles and mastered the art of efficiency. That’s why I was eager to bring AI into the mix when GPT launched late last year.

I’m passionate about designing relevant content for my workshops, and was brainstorming #PracticalAI use cases across Recruiting and L&D. In the process, I thought I would document how I utilized various AI tools in a single day.

Consider this ‘Day in the Life’ a hands-on playbook for weaving AI into your daily routines effortlessly. From crafting persuasive emails to improving client interactions, the insights were nothing short of eye-opening.

To me, AI isn’t mere jargon — it’s a transformative tool that’s redefining my work, task by task.
