This keeps coming up. In dinners. Leadership luncheons. Coaching sessions. All over digital mediaโ€”because hey, we're all peers now, right? Someone says "I can tell that was written by AI." If you're the one saying it, it lands with a tinge of disdain. If you're experimenting with AI? That's instant panic and self-doubt. As if they've just caught you shoplifting.

I built an app. Not an agent, not a workflow โ€” a real, functioning web app with a database, authentication, navigation, quoting logic, and scheduling. From scratch. No coding background, no bootcamp, no formal training. Just me. And a MacBook that moves slower than Monday mornings. And ChatGPT, who had to put up with more โ€œWHY IS THIS NOT WORKINGโ€ messages than any human would have tolerated. But we did it. The idea started simple: Create a small app to support my husbandโ€™s s

Iโ€™ve been experimenting with AI to compare my communication style with my leaderโ€™s. At every level, self-reflection matters โ€” the honest, vulnerable kind. So I fed the agent emails, readouts, and meeting notes. And the verdict? My communication is dense. Not complicated, but layered. Context-heavy. Thorough. Thoughtful. I like to give all the why, all the contingencies, all the possibilitiesโ€ฆ before I get to the point. My leader? Pure BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front). Three senten
