Cybersecurity

Stay safe. Five rules.

1
Turn on two-factor everywhere.
Password alone is not enough. One extra tap stops most attacks.
2
Verify money asks out-of-band.
Before any wire or gift card, hang up and call back on a number you already have.
3
Use a password manager.
One password per account. Let the manager remember. You only remember one.
4
Keep everything updated.
Turn on auto-update. Skipping updates leaves doors open.
5
Report the weird, fast.
Strange email, odd call, surprise download — tell someone before you click.

Most AI tools are one prompt on top of a model.

All ChatGPT underneath. Different wrapper.

Good prompts have five parts.

Role · Objective · Limits · Examples · Steps.

R Role Who the AI pretends to be.
O Objective What you want.
L Limits The fences.
E Examples The specifics.
S Steps Shape of the answer.

Not a script — a shape.

Same five parts — your work.

R Role “Grant writer at a small rural food charity in southwestern Ontario.”
O Objective 500-word letter of intent to the Trillium Foundation — Grow stream.”
L Limits “Plain English. Under 500 words. One specific ask. No ‘empowering,’ no ‘impactful.’”
E Examples “Weekend backpacks: 120 kids, three schools, food bank partnership. $38K last year.”
S Steps “Need → program → one outcome with a number → specific ask → thank-you.”

Your charity. Your numbers. Your ask.

Try it. Keep humans in the loop.

AI drafts. You decide.

01
Start small.
02
Your name goes on it.
03
Save what works.

Thank you.

What will you try first?
