About this listen
Amanda Materre from Alief ISD is on a mission—and it involves storytelling, strategy, and a whole lot of heart. In this episode, Amanda breaks down how she’s using AI tools to streamline communication, empower educators, and show up more authentically online. Whether you’re short on time or struggling to collect great content, Amanda’s approach will leave you feeling inspired and ready to work smarter—not harder.
4 Big Takeaways:
- Use AI to Work Smarter, Not Harder – Amanda’s AI-powered workflow helps turn one story into multiple platform-ready posts (think: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletters). Her secret? Smart prompts, time-saving tools, and intentional planning.
- Build Real Relationships, Not Just Systems – She proves that collecting great content starts with trust. When staff know you care—and follow through—they’ll share their stories.
- Done is Better Than Perfect – Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s a superpower. Amanda encourages us to let go of perfection and embrace authentic storytelling.
- Leverage LinkedIn Like a Pro – Her “HOPE” acronym offers a clear strategy for boosting your presence on LinkedIn and owning your professional story—no title change required.
