Craig Zelizer, PhD Align your Values, Skills, Career & Impact

I've spent 30+ years across social entrepreneurship, international development, education, & peacebuilding—I bring it all into how I teach.

I taught full-time at Georgetown for 10 years and led courses in 20+ countries. I'm a Fulbright Scholar, Boren Fellow, published author, and innovator in the future of work and education.

I'm Founder & CEO of PCDN.global, supporting thousands of impact professionals. I host the Social Change Career Podcast (200+ episodes), consult on AI for impact, angel invest in startups, and help shape the future of upskilling—aligning skills, careers, values, money, and impact.

I teach because the world is in deep crisis and needs every skilled person advancing positive impact. And I love peer-to-peer learning where changemakers grow together—and I keep learning too.

I didn't know anything about how to use AI in my work. After the course I already know many tools that help me to make my work more efficient. Now I have more time to invest in many impact activities since AI is reducing the time I usually spend in very operational task. I really recommend to take the course if you are still figuring out how to use AI in your work. Is fun, great resources and tools and Craig and Cata share very useful content.
