AI Tools and Strategies

Magda Kufrej - Work Ally

May 20, 2026

    AI has wedged itself between job seekers and employers, and learning to work with it now sits closer to a survival skill than a nice extra. This session moves through eight things. They are why the job market has changed, how to set up a paid account, the ACE prompting model, using AI responsibly, researching roles before you apply, building a job-hunt project, pushing into agents and skills, and the other tools worth knowing. It closes on the one move AI cannot make for you.

Effective Sustainability Storytelling

Mike Hower Founder and Principal Consultant, Hower Impact

May 19, 2026

    Mike Hower has spent nearly two decades on both sides of the podium. He started as a journalist covering sustainability strategy, social impact, and climate policy for GreenBiz, now Trellis, along with Sustainable Brands and Triple Pundit. Then he crossed over to the strategist side, working on sustainability communications at Edelman, on ESG reporting at smaller agencies, and leading comms at climate tech startups. In 2023 he went out on his own and founded Hower Impact, a consultancy based in Sacramento that helps Fortune 500 companies turn sustainability strategy into narratives that move stakeholders to act.

    That dual background runs through his new book, [Sustainability Storytelling: Communicate Trust, Brand Value, and Better Business](https://www.amazon.com/Sustain
