The presenter was professional & informative. She touched on all the right points and offered additional information when asked. The session was on AI which I am just starting to get into. Would love to see future classes on specific topics rather than the broad overview we had. Something specific on minute taking, presentation creation, team building events, etc. Thank you for organizing so relevant to the current times.

Great session! At first, it made me nervous as an EA that AI was going to eliminate my job, but Melissa did a fantastic job of showing the group how to leverage AI to be BETTER at your job. Very useful information. Can't wait to implement.

It think the course should be divided into two different sessions. It was a lot of information to absorb.

My Testimonials

This was one of the most useful webinars I have attended. It could have been divided into two parts, with an hour allotted for each. There was so much useful information to cover.

- Laura W

I think all the information provided was extremely helpful and useful!!

- Susan O

- Cynthia M

This speaker was very engaging and entertaining. I really enjoyed the parts where we moved away from the PowerPoint and had live demonstrations of the tools. My employer is limiting us to Microsoft Copilot only for work, but I enjoyed learning about the differences between the different AIs and getting ideas for how I might use them outside of work, and much of the advice could be made applicable to Copilot even when it was being mentioned in the context of a different AI.

- Kerry E

The presenter was very engaging and knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed the training and found all the content easy to follow and useful.

- Kelsey S
