Becoming AI-Literate: Why Every Professional Needs This Skill Now
AI isn’t here to replace you, it’s here to require more of you. In this conversation, I sit down with Nicole Hilgenkamp, an AI literacy advocate and people-first leader who made a mid-career pivot into AI while managing large teams and raising three daughters. We get honest about what “AI-literate” means, why prompting is a skill (not a hack), how to use agents to augment your team, and the guardrails every company needs before rolling out AI. We also talk about resistance at work, building internal champions, and the messy middle of change for leaders and schools that haven’t caught up yet.
You’ll learn:
-How to move from “I tried ChatGPT once” to consistent, outcome-driven use
-Simple ways leaders can set AI policy, protect privacy, and keep a human in the loop
-How to get your team to adopt AI (community of practice, super users, small wins)
-Why asking better questions beats copying other people’s prompts
-A people-first framework for piloting AI across your org
If you’re a founder, manager, or creative trying to make AI a daily edge, not a threat, this one’s for you.
