Our July 2026 Common Grounds is about using AI, hosted by CCYP Member Matt Stephens from Chatham Oaks.
AI is everywhere right now. For folks who are hustling (and for folks who care about our planet!) it can feel like one more thing to figure out on top of an already packed week. Matt has spent his career helping locals use tech to win back their time. This convo will cut through the hype with practical ways to put AI to work (automating repetitive tasks, streamlining operations, and simplifying marketing) without sacrificing the personal touch that makes you you.
Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting with these tools, this sesh will help you figure out which strategies actually save time and deliver real results, so you can spend less time on busywork and more time on the people and work you love.
Common Grounds is hosted and emceed by CCYP’s Leadership & Professional Advancement Committee, a group dedicated to helping our community grow. They champion leadership development, professional advancement, and mentoring opportunities, including CCYP’s Communicating with Confidence and Mentorship in Motion programs.
