How AI has made my life easier – personally and professionally

I started presenting about AI since last summer (2023 – see featured picture) and while we are not face to face, I want you to see how I use it with visuals. Here are a few screenshots of how I use it recently for my personal life and professional life.

Vacation Brainstorming

Is it your job or your spouses job to determine where your next vacation spot is? I usually pack up the bags and show up. I don’t do the planning. You will find out why below.

I took on the (travel planning) role to determine where we will be going for a quick getaway. Here is the initial prompt, later on I kept going back and forth with ChatGPT like it was a travel agent without feeling guilty because it wasn’t a real person and I was so undecided!

I kept pressing on for “it” to give me more examples since I have already visited the suggested locations it recommended. I added I wanted more indoor options (because it was a hot day outside). I went back the other day and asked for beach destinations after a stressful day.

Then I realized, I didn’t want to be driving 6 hours to go to a beach after all. I asked, in the same prompt page which one should I do Lexington (KY) or Nashville (TN)? Finally, I asked it: “Revisit this conversation and pick a vacation within 3 hour drive from Johnson City, Tn.” Again it chose locations that I have frequented already.

I was about to give up when I asked it again: I have been to those options. Give me other town or cities. It picked Roanoke as an option and boom! We decided to go to Roanoke since we were there a few years ago for a Rotary Conference and had a great time at hotel Roanoke.

Standout with your NEW presentation

Starting to work on a brand new presentation? Or do you want to cater your presentation with a specific audience? I use AI to brainstorm and help me create an outline for a presentation with a goal of either informing, entertaining, or educating my audiences. Here is how I do it! See visual below:

I loved this presentation because it gave me a break down by the minute AI presentation to my mastermind/networking group. Plus, it generated examples from each industry that was in attendance (based off of the initial prompt). I impressed my audiences when I showed how they would benefit from the usage of AI specifically for their businesses.

Perfect your Branding on LinkedIn

I have done this exercise so many times that it has been my favorite and go-to prompt when I do one on one consultations with LinkedIn bootcamp clients. You need to fill out your about section or summary section on LinkedIn first. This is where you describe your story or career trajectory in a few paragraphs. The more you share about your experience, stories, and awards; the better the results will be for you! Once you finish your summary, then open ChatGPT and insert this prompt: Create a persuasive LinkedIn headline that caters to audiences like ____ and ___ that uses this summary (what you wrote up): 

So tell me, which example stood out to you? What is your action step or takeaway? I’d love to show you more about AI. You can get details about how I am using AI in my private trainings here. Please contact me with the info below if you have further questions.
