🧐 “The most difficult part of adult learning is choosing to learn.” - Seth Godin

Hello Reader,

At the end of this week, I will be sharing my signature AI presentation Prompt Like A Pro: Practical AI Techniques in the AI Coaching Academy.

This is a high-energy, hands-on workshop where you’ll practice live with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity while learning the PILLARS framework for reliably great prompts.

You’ll distill long PDFs in minutes, create a Custom GPT that mirrors your voice, compare models side-by-side, and use Advanced Voice Mode to rehearse tough conversations.

Show up signed in to your favourite LLM. You’ll leave with reusable prompts, templates, and a sharper creative process.

If you can't attend live, I will send you the recording and the slide deck (which is FULL of copy/paste prompts).
