What if AI didn’t make work more automated but more human?
In this conversation with Nelson Harris, Senior Solutions Engineer at Contentful and Isabella Thomas, Enablement Manager, Recruiting Operations at Contentful, we’ll explore how AI can be used not as a replacement for human thinking, but as a tool that sharpens it. From cutting through noise and clarifying your ideas to improving communication, empathy, and self-advocacy at work, AI has the potential to help us show up more thoughtfully and intentionally in our professional lives.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to use AI to:
- Communicate with greater clarity and confidence
- Strengthen empathy and perspective-taking
- Advocate for themselves more effectively at work
- Stay curious, reflective, and critical in an AI-driven world
- Reclaim time and energy for the work—and life—that matters most
Plus, learn how Contentful is using AI in their own innovative work. If you’re interested in using AI to become not just more productive, but more present, this conversation is for you.
