Human-Centered AI Strategy for Nonprofits, Ministries & Small Businesses
Michelle Beckham-Corbin, MBA
Founder, C3. Creating Connections Consulting LLC
I help you ask the right questions before you invest in the wrong answers.
People lead. Technology follows.
I’ve spent more than 30 years building brands and shaping marketing strategy for Fortune 100 companies and mission-driven organizations. Today, I bring that experience directly to nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and small businesses through AI strategy and human-centered implementation consulting built around your mission, not around the technology.
You won’t be handed off to a big team or a tech vendor. You get Michelle Beckham-Corbin: someone who knows the many hats you wear and the real weight of tight budgets, limited capacity, and never enough hours in the day. I believe people should lead the technology, never the reverse, and that responsible, human-centered AI, along with the trust it depends on, matters most for the people and communities you serve.
From the Inside:
I brought a cautious leadership team to AI adoption from the inside, during a decade leading marketing and communications at American Heritage Girls, a national faith-based nonprofit.
I serve on the Advisory Council of the Christian Leadership Alliance as its Marketing Subject Matter Expert, and facilitate courses in its Credentialed Christian Nonprofit Leader program.
I have the passion and the proof to meet you where you are. Let’s talk it through over a virtual coffee. First cup is on me!
What C3 Offers:
If you lead a ministry, you may wonder whether AI can serve work rooted in Scripture without distorting it. I’ve walked that road inside faith-based organizations, and it begins with one commitment: that people, never tools, remain the guardians of the content.
AI Literacy Training
Give your whole team a working understanding of AI they can use tomorrow.
Responsible AI Strategy
Human-in-the-loop planning with clear guardrails for responsible AI use.
Workflow Automation
Finding the repetitive work AI can take off your team’s plate, freeing time for the work that matters most.
Strategic Storytelling & Content Marketing
Creating stories that move people to act, with AI helping behind the scenes.
Most engagements begin with the C3 AI Readiness Roadmap, which identifies a practical 90-day plan for what’s next.

Michelle’s Story
Relationship-building has always been at the heart of my life and career and it’s the idea behind the business name I chose back in 2009: C3. Creating Connections Consulting. To me, that means connecting people to the ideas, strategies, and technologies that help them move forward.
What I bring to AI consulting is a combination you won’t find elsewhere in Cincinnati: founder-led delivery, nonprofit practitioner experience, faith-context fluency, and local roots with a virtual reach.
I look forward to working with you!
