High-Impact ChatGPT Prompting for Executive Assistants

This two-part workshop is designed to give learners the confidence and skills to get high-quality outputs from AI chatbots including ChatGPT, Copilot, and more. We’ll work through how they work, safe use, key players, use cases, and a deep dive into prompt crafting—with demos and practice throughout. It’s appropriate both for absolute beginners and those with experience using AI chatbots who feel they still have room to improve.

After the two-part workshop, learners will:

• Understand strengths and limitations of AI chatbots, and how to mitigate risk at work 
• Have a strong understanding of all the ways to use AI chatbots in the assistant workflow 
• Be able to create strong prompts to optimize outputs 
• Be using AI chatbots on a weekly (if not daily) basis 

 
All sessions will include practical assignments and takeaways to make learning stick. We’ll engage with learners before, between, and after workshops via the ASAP Circle space for this workshop to build community and drive accountability.

Hot Tip: When you're chatting with ChatGPT (or any AI chatbot), imagine it's an eager and enthusiastic yet really green intern. You need to *really* spell out what you want—give it all the context and even copy-paste in examples you've created yourself so it knows the quality and context of what you’re looking for.
