Not getting the results you want with AI?

We’ll show you how to write prompts that work to get the most from AI tools like ChatGPT and other popular platforms.

Whether you’re using AI to brainstorm marketing ideas, draft emails, or generate content, knowing how to ask the right questions can dramatically improve the quality and usefulness of your results.

This workshop will show you simple, practical ways to craft prompts that are clear, specific, and effective—no technical background required.

You’ll see live demos of prompt examples in real time. We’ll cover the basics of prompt structure, tips for refining outputs, and strategies for avoiding common mistakes. You’ll also learn how to guide AI to match your tone, style, and audience, helping you save time and avoid frustration.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with ready-to-use prompt templates you can apply to your business immediately.

In this workshop, you will learn how to use AI to:

  • Learn how to give AI specific instructions and examples
  • Discover ways to match tone, style, and audience in AI outputs
  • See how to iterate and improve results step by step
