From “The Storytelling Gap”
The framework: Narrate · Curate · Activate
Three moves, in this order — loop and iterate as needed. It’s also how the writing on this site is organized.
Narrate
Find the real story. Understanding AI and working with it both require a holistic grasp of your problem, process, and goal.
Curate
Structure the materials. Organize all that context and decide what really matters to include — and the same goes for the output.
Activate
Write the chapter. Run the prompt, schedule the training — even if it’s not perfect, take action. Then start again: what new story did it create?
From “AI for the Rest of Us”
Five principles for working with AI
How the five fit together
Curiosity and humility are how you walk up to something new. Skepticism and mindfulness are how you work once you’re in. Collaboration carries all of it beyond you — into a team, a department, an institution.Curiosity
The willingness to just try. The cornerstone — domain expertise isn’t the gate.
Humility
Let the work get torn up: yours, or the AI’s.
Skepticism
Trust no first pass. AI isn’t the answer to everything.
Mindfulness
Stay present to your own thinking.
Collaboration
Share the tool. Stay in the conversation.
Slides & resources
Both decks from the conference — the workshop, AI for the Rest of Us, and the session, The Storytelling Gap. Open, save, or share them.
Let’s keep the conversation going
Connect with me on LinkedIn — I’d love to hear how AI is landing in your community.
A short, occasional email — honest, people-first takes on AI for educators and the work of formation. No hype.
