It's Christmas time and I wanted to take a moment to pause and send you warm wishes for the holidays.

What a year it's been.

In the AI world, we've seen extraordinary shifts. Tools that didn't exist a year ago are now reshaping how we ideate, create and get our work done. It's been exhilarating, overwhelming, and endlessly fascinating all at once. Agents are no longer a thing for just techies, vibe coding is real and it works and my list of things to test is longer than ever.

For me personally, this year has been one of growth and exploration. I've run multiple cohorts of my AI Discovery program, launched this newsletter five months ago, ran a pilot for dedicated deep dive sessions on specific topics, and spent countless hours preparing for what's ahead in 2026.

But here's what I didn't expect: you.

Over 2,000 of you now read this newsletter every week. Many of you take the time to respond with ideas, inspiration, questions, or simply to say thank you. That means more to me than you know. This community has become a source of energy and motivation I didn't anticipate when I hit "send" on that first edition.

So THANK YOU!! For reading, for engaging, for experimenting, and for being part of this journey with me.

I'm taking a short break over the holidays, but I'll be back in your inbox in the new year.

Until then, enjoy the quiet moments, the time with your family and loved ones, time on the slopes or on a beach somewhere. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Elena

Last time I shared two prompts to get more from AI. Today we go deeper. Because before you can use Skills well, you need to understand what they actually are. So, what is a Skill? A Skill is a ...
2 Prompts. Less Time. Better AI Output
⏱️ Read time: ~3 min Today I'm sharing two prompts that change how you work with AI, and one of them is brand new. One of the most common frustrations I hear from coaches and consultants about AI goes something like this: "I tried it, the output was terrible, and I don't see the point." And almost every time, the real problem isn't the AI. It's the user input. AI won't fix a lack of clarity. It...
On Curiosity, Claude, And Knowing When To Stop
⏱️ Read time: ~4 min I almost lost an entire evening to agentic dashboards. There I was, using Claude Code to generate dashboards on random topics, then building landing pages, then exploring what else it could do. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, hours had passed. I, the person who preaches pragmatic AI use, had completely abandoned my usual discipline. 🤯 And honestly?...
