For nonprofit, association and chamber teams
Your team is already using AI. In half a day I can show them how to be good at it.
I am a sitting foundation CEO and I run most of my executive week on AI. I spend half a day with your team, show them exactly how, and we build their version on the work already sitting in their inbox. The point is that they start using it in the room, not after it.
Who I do this with
If you are the one who has to decide about AI, this is for you.
Why me for this
I am not teaching you something I read about. I built this while doing the job.
Mine reads across my calendar, my inbox and my files overnight, tells me the one thing to do first, and shows me the conflict it already cleared. What you see here is a working replica of it, built on invented data.
I did not buy it off a shelf. I built it myself, on my own time, while running a foundation. It is the reason I can teach this rather than describe it.
A demonstration built for this page. The organization and everything on it are invented. What is mine is the shape.
The AI Working Session
Half a day on your team's real work, so they can use it on Monday.
A lot of AI training is an overview, and an overview is a fine thing to have had. It is just not the same as having built something. This session starts with your team's actual jobs: the donor thank-yous, the grant draft, the board update, the meeting notes nobody has written up.
I start by walking your team through a working replica of my own setup, built on invented data, so they can see the whole thing running before they try anything. Then we set the few rules that make people comfortable saying yes, and we build their prompts together on their real work.
No jargon, and nobody has to become technical. Nobody leaves with a reading list either.
What the session is built to produce
- Their own prompts, built on their own work, tested in the room
- A one-page AI policy your board can read in two minutes
- The rules for what never goes in, and who checks the output
- One task each, picked by them, that we work on until it is faster
A flat fee, agreed in writing before anything starts. Nonprofits pay less than businesses and chambers, and funder-sponsored sessions are scoped separately. Tell me the size of your team and what you want out of it, and I will send scope and fee on one page.
What comes out of the room
What comes out is a working thing, not a slide deck.
Here is one of the twelve prompts from the free kit, run the way I teach it. Your team does this with their own donors, their own tone, and their own list, and then they keep it.
The last rule is the one I will not move: a person reads it, fixes it, and sends it. AI writes drafts. People send them.
The prompt is real and free, on page seven of the Starter Kit. The organization and the donor are invented.
I have run a foundation and its programs for twelve years, and I am still doing it today.
The working session is half a day. It is not a series, and it is not a retainer.
The free kit gives you twelve prompts and a one-page policy before you spend anything at all.
These indicate training completed. They do not imply endorsement by the issuing organizations. The full list is on the About page.
Not ready to talk yet
The free kit is there to be tried before you talk to anyone.
Twelve prompts you can paste in today, a one-page AI policy, and an exact plan for your first thirty minutes. Ten pages, written so you can act on it the same day rather than file it.
No cost, and your email is only ever used to send the kit and the occasional note. Unsubscribe anytime.
The rest of the work
Three other reasons people call me.
Same person, same twelve years, and the same short list of things I will actually claim.
Advisory
Strategy, boards, and the calls that keep you up.
Nonprofit strategy, board and leadership facilitation, and developing the leaders you cannot afford to lose. From someone who has held the chair rather than studied it.
See the advisory workCoaching
Executive coaching and money coaching.
Individuals book it for themselves. Organizations sponsor it for a leader they are investing in and do not want to lose. Same coach, same work.
See the coachingSpeaking
Talks on the same short list of things.
AI, leadership, money, and confidence. Practical, no hype, and your audience leaves with one thing they can use that night.
See the talksWhere this usually starts
This tends to start with a room, not with a website.
I am in Loudoun County, and a good share of what I do is within an hour of it. Every piece of real work I have been offered has come from somebody who already knew me or heard me, never from an advertisement. That is why the rooms matter more to me than this page does.
In their words
Tara has a gift for asking the right questions at the right time, keeping your goals front and center even when the details get complex. She helped me reach a pivotal moment of clarity, refine my story, and show up with real confidence.
Elizabeth P.Coaching clientFor most of my adult life I lived in fear of money. Working with Tara was emotional at first. She helped me move through that with care and without judgment. I came away with real skills, genuine confidence, and a relationship with my finances I did not think was possible.

Who I am
A sitting CEO, not a former one.
I lead a Mid-Atlantic foundation and the programs under it, including a girls' sports program. I write for the Forbes Nonprofit Council. I run most of my executive week on AI. I dug my own family out of more than a hundred thousand dollars of debt by getting clear about what mattered.
This work runs on my own time and tools, outside my day job, which my contract provides for. I do not take engagements with my employer's funders, grantees, vendors, or partners.

Tell me about your team and what is in the way.
A few sentences is enough. I read every one myself and reply with two times that work, usually within a couple of days. There is no calendar link here on purpose, and nothing gets quoted before I understand what you actually need.
