School leaders are constantly faced with critical decisions, often under intense pressure to respond quickly and decisively. This session will show administrators and educational leaders how to cut through the static and amplify their leadership voice by creating a customized AI assistant to help find clear, consistent solutions to complex issues. Participants will learn how to input their personal leadership philosophies, discipline policies, and goals into the AI, transforming it into a tool that offers customized solutions and suggestions that are in alignment with your core principles. By the end of this hands-on workshop, attendees will understand how to use custom AI as a thought partner to navigate the noise, make clearer decisions, and tackle real-world challenges—from discipline issues to school management and technology integration.
