How will I impact your audience?

I will challenge some of the ways they think about communicating with people. By simplifying complex concepts around communication, motivation and emergent technologies. I do this by breaking down real-world examples and giving people simple tools to apply this knowledge in how they go about connecting with the people who matter to their brand, company or product.

Using AI to build an exponential brand Exploring the power of the prompt

As machines continue to advance and expand their capabilities, the question becomes not if we will use them, but how we will use them. The key is to learn how to prompt them effectively. These machines have access to all of human knowledge, and knowing how to instruct them is going to be a critical skill for businesses and leaders in the coming years.

Without proper frameworks in place, teams may experiment with these tools in ineffective or inefficient ways and more importantly do things that can damage the brand or company. As a leader, it is essential to understand the AI landscape and know which tools to use to maximise your brand’s potential.

Take away value:

– Understand the basics of AI and machine learning
– Know what tools are out there
– Get clarity on WHEN to use AI and more importantly WHEN NOT to
– You will also learn how to get the most out of your prompts
