Delegating to AI So You Can Focus on Humans
In this episode, we navigate the nuanced world of AI for administrative professionals—moving beyond right/wrong debates to explore responsible usage within organizational policies. We discuss when your human judgment is irreplaceable and when AI can boost your efficiency, while examining platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot.
Learn why AI prompting is becoming an essential professional skill that requires practice, not just formal training. We explore practical applications from travel planning and scheduling to meeting notes and information processing. Just as leadership transforms admin work into a fulfilling career, thoughtful AI integration shifts your role from task-handler to strategic partner—creating space for the relationship-building and impact that only humans can provide.
