Course overview
Build an AI writing system that improves the speed and quality of your writing
In this course, you will learn foundational writing skills that will improve the speed, quality and impact of your communication at work.
Then you will supercharge those skills with AI, building a simple and practical system you can use immediately to save hours per week.
You’ll go from "not knowing what to write" to having an abundance of ideas. From staring at a blank page to drafting high-quality, authentic content in minutes. From feeling overwhelmed by AI to confidently using it in your process in practical ways that don't compromise your voice.
You’ll walk away with:
• A process for training AI to sound like you
• A repeatable system you can plug into any writing task (emails, posts, memos, docs)
• A prompt library that saves you hours every week
• Real writing you’ve actually finished during the course
• The skills and confidence to write like a human, with the speed of a machine
• A community of leaders and operators to support your personal and professional growth
I have been writing online for 20+ years, both as a journalist and as a tech operator and leader. I believe deeply in the power of technology and the art of craft. The best writers and communicators today combine the two.
Everything you learn in this course will come from my personal, lived experience over the past two decades writing and building companies. It will be practical and immediately actionable.
My promise to you is I will give you my undivided support during this course (live or async). After each live session, we will have "After Hours" in which I will stay as long as necessary for every question to be answered or problem worked through.
Simple Writing with AI is not a theoretical course. It’s a hands-on sprint that will upgrade your skills and writing process forever.
Can't wait to see you in class.

Build the Foundation
Welcome to the first step in building your AI writing system. In this module, you’ll develop your Personal Writing Workflow and Voice Pack—two tools that will help you write faster, clearer, and more authentically with AI. You’ll also learn how to spot and fix weak AI output so it sounds like you.
Let’s get started.
Ideation
Module 2 helps you move from “I need to write something” to “I know what I’m writing and why.” You’ll use AI to brainstorm ideas, remix existing content, and outline real pieces of writing. By the end, you’ll have a library of prompts, clear direction for your next writing task, and a system for generating strong ideas anytime.

Drafting
Drafting is where your ideas become complete, structured pieces of writing. In this module, you’ll learn how to use AI to draft with speed and clarity—without sounding robotic. You’ll practice writing smarter prompts, co-drafting with AI, and maintaining your authentic voice while moving faster. By the end, you’ll have real drafts you can use immediately and reusable templates that save time.
Polishing
This final module helps you elevate your draft into clear, confident, and on-brand writing. You’ll learn how to use AI to simplify language, sharpen tone, and refine structure—without losing authenticity. Whether polishing an internal memo or a public post, you’ll walk away with practical techniques and an AI editing checklist you can use again and again.
