Season 3, Episode 3

In this episode of Elevate with Grace, Claire and Miranda tackle a topic that’s been buzzing in every inbox, newsfeed, and team meeting: AI. Not from a tech-guru angle, but from a grounded, thoughtful perspective on how it can actually help us live and work better. Whether you’re dabbling, avoiding, or already deep in AI experimentation, this conversation will help you find clarity, confidence and a human-first mindset in this new landscape.

We’re here to explore:

• How AI can be a career multiplier
• Why your human skills are your superpower
• The ethics of using AI intentionally, and what it means to stay in the driver’s seat

Key Takeaways & Quotes

• AI is a mindset shift, expect trial and error, and delayed gratification before the magic happens
• Start with one prompt a day, build AI into your workflow gradually
• Empathy, leadership and critical thinking are more valuable than ever
• You are still the author, AI can support, but never replace, your unique voice
• Ethics matter so know where your data is going and how your outputs reflect your values

“AI can be our co-pilot, but it's not our script writer. We are still the author of our lives.” – Miranda

“AI doesn’t make someone feel truly seen. That’s our edge. That’s our job.” – Claire

“Just because it reduces labour doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.” – Miranda
