New episodes are released bi-weekly.
One example is using a prompt to
simulate a leadership scenario,
like preparing for a difficult
conversation with a team member.
This is a fantastic, fantastic,
fantastic example because in
today's world, we as leaders,
we, we have to show emotional
intelligence when we're dealing
with our staff and dealing with
other people.
Being able to put a scenario
into ChatGPT or whatever
generative AI tool that you use
and ask for some options on how
to actually respond to this can
be worth its weight in gold.
All right, welcome to another
episode of Leadership
sovereignty.
Things are we got so much great
quality feedback on the AI
series.
We decided to come back and do a
a bonus a set of bonus episodes
for you.
So, thoughts, Terry?
You know, man, it's, it's
changing lives and just like
this information is, is
impacting folks, G and AI is
doing the same thing, man.
So there's a lot to share, and
I'm excited about this, about
this episode.
Absolutely, absolutely.
All right, so let's just jump in
because this will be picking up
right where we left off.
Let's talk a little bit about
real world studies of our case
studies for Gen.
AI in your career.
So here are some examples of
those who can use Gen.
AI today in their career, people
who are marketing, right?
So for instance, a digital
marker who uses Gen.
AI to quickly draft a
personalized ad copy and analyze
campaign data, right?
You know, the ability to use
Gen.
AI to personalize an ad towards
your customers, specifically by
giving it the proper framework
and in the proper prompt, being
able to give Gen.
AIA massive amount of data so
that they can analyze and and
give you insights, right saving,
you know, saving tons of time.
Anything.
Any thoughts that Terry?
Yeah.
So here's the thing, right?
We are in in a sense, right?
We're content creators, right?
We're marketers, right?
And you know, just speaking from
a personal standpoint, being
able to even take an existing
photo, right?
Or taking a an existing piece of
content and asking it to craft
it to your need, right?
It may have an image that maybe
has, you know, let's say floral
and you want it to look more
industrial in terms of the
background setting, right?
You can put that content in
there.
As a matter of fact, I I engage
with, you know, some content
creators, you know, even with
lift life technology, right, and
you know, we have social media
campaigns going on, e-mail
marketing campaigns going on and
to see how those experts,
they're not, they're not fearful
of gin AI.
They're actually embracing it,
right?
And seeing how they are
measuring it against what they
were doing before, right?
To to our earlier point, right,
it is engaging.
It is allowing them to have a
more verbose voice in their
level of creativity.
It's good.
That's good.
That's those are great examples.
Another example is in HR, right?
A person who in HR uses Gen.
AI to screen resumes or to draft
initial interview questions, you
know, to speed up the hiring
process.
I, I know that I've even used it
in in my past to create job
descriptions, right?
Remember trying to write job
descriptions from scratch?
That's.
Oh man, that was painful.
It was.
That was painful, yes.
It was, it was, it was that was
painful.
Yeah.
That the these processes are so
much easier now.
Not saying that it does the job
100%, but it'll definitely get
you 80 to 90% of the way there.
And then you can customize it
the rest of the way for
yourself.
Again, efficiency, productivity,
right?
Saving you tons and tons of
time.
And and then what about a
financial analyst, you know,
somebody who uses Gen.
AI, you know, to generate quick
financial summaries and identify
trends and large data sets.
Again, you cannot process faster
than this can, right?
No, for for sure.
No.
So, So what I love about that,
right?
So being in this entrepreneurial
space, right, you really get to
engage with, you know, others
who are on the journey, right?
And so, you know, I have a set
of friends who are mentors.
I have a set of friends who, you
know, were at that initial
growth launch stage.
And to see how each of those
different persons are leveraging
Gin AI.
I was speaking with, you know,
really I was speaking with a
cohort yesterday and you know,
we're talking about cash flow
and we're talking about, you
know, the operations.
And so of course, right, I start
going back to our numbers
conversation, right?
And I'm like, look, you know, we
understand what the day-to-day
looks like because a lot of
times entrepreneurs are looking
at at the at the micro level.
So, but I start encouraging my
cohort, hey, if you start
looking a little bit at the
macro, right, you can look at
your numbers from a quarterly
basis, you can look at them from
a weekly basis, you can look at
them from a monthly basis.
And I'm like, look, you don't
have to create this stuff from
scratch.
That's right.
Get what you're accounted, get,
you know, some Excel documents,
you know, again, get the paid
version right of so you can
protect your data and you can
have it.
Man, do you know how amazing it
is to take those numbers, take
those spreadsheets and say, Hey,
give me first quarter, give me
the first week of first quarter.
Give me.
And so now I and So what I, what
I was encouraging, you know, my
cohort to do is to look at your
business at all these different
slices.
So when today is not going well,
you can go, oh but you know
what, I'm up on the month.
That's good.
You know what I'm saying?
And you that's hours of work.
You know that's hours of work,
right?
That's turned into probably what
a good a good prop that's like
30 minutes probably it could be
less than 30.
Minutes, probably, yeah.
The more you get used to it,
yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah, definitely, man,
there's no shortage.
If you can think it, it can
generate it.
It's It's as simple as that.
Yes, yes, yes.
So good, so good, so good, so
good, so good.
And, and so, so.
Before we go any further, I do
want to take some time to give a
shout out to some special
listeners out there who have
taken the time to give us the
gift of feedback.
Tabatha, Jasmine, Regina, we
appreciate you.
Thank you for going on the site
and giving us our listener,
taking a listener feedback and
we encourage anybody to go to
our site leadership
sovereignty.com/survey and to
take our listener survey so we
can get some feedback from you
and leave us a review and we
will shout out your name on the
next show.
So thank you for that.
Thank you guys.
Appreciate it.
Perfect.
All right, so moving into the
next topic, let's talk a little
bit about advanced prompt
engineering techniques, right?
So one example of that is using
a prompt to simulate a
leadership scenario, right?
Like preparing for a difficult
conversation with a team member.
This is a fantastic, fantastic,
fantastic example, right?
Because in today's world, we as
leaders, we can't, we have to
show emotional intelligence when
we're dealing with our staff and
dealing with other people.
Being able to put a scenario
into ChatGPT or whatever
generative AI tool that you use
and ask for some options on how
to actually respond to this can
be worth his weight in gold,
right?
Because a lot of times we, you
know, especially if we're
managing people or let's just
say you have to talk to your
boss about a difficult
conversation, right?
You know, how, how often do you
get a chance to get a coach that
can actually tell you, OK, well,
based on this situation, you
probably want to talk like this.
You probably want to say these
words and these.
That is invaluable.
So, and you know what it is,
right?
And so here's the beauty.
No, you are not typing this in.
You're literally having a
conversation like just like if
if you were on the other end of
this podcast and you wanted to
add some questions.
Yes.
Yeah, it's it's, it's
irreplaceable.
Irreplaceable, irreplaceable.
And then remember in a previous
show we talked about how if you
have these the at least with
Gemini and Taji BT for sure, you
can create a shortcut on your
phone where you can just click
on the button and then you
automatically start having a
voice conversation with the
tool, right?
It irreplaceable, like Terry
said, invaluable.
Yeah.
And so look, look, look, I'm
going to keep it like.
Let's break it down to the most
simplest of examples, right?
I have teenagers in the house
and you know, you know, everyone
in Texas, I believe, as a
teenager has interviewed at
Chick-fil-A, right?
So I'm like, hey, you need to
get with Chad, GBT or Gemini and
go through your practice
interview.
And, and I'm like, Hey, make
sure they ask you about all the
sauces, right?
I mean, and they literally sat
there and went through an
interview prep for, you know,
I'm, I'm, I'm going for the, you
know, I'm going to be the tea
filler, right?
I'm the French fry guy,
Whatever, whatever the world is,
right?
And it will literally sit there
and take you through as many
iterations as you need to
perfect.
And it will also give you
feedback.
Hey, how did I do?
Right?
Well, you should strengthen
here.
And, and just on a more serious
note, right, you know, just even
me personally and you know, when
I have customer meetings and you
know, there's some information
that I received back, you know,
I'll feed it in and I'm like,
hey, you're the client.
I want to present this and, you
know, help me present this in
the best manner.
Where I'm alleviating the
technical jargon, right and I'm
making this very client friendly
to understand right and so you
you give it the context right
yes.
And so it's great practice,
right, because and you know,
look 25 years, 20 years of tech
talk and it's just, you know,
base always wants to come back.
That's right.
So you have to practice at where
you're going.
So and again, tons of other
examples I'm sure that we can
share.
Those are some personal ways
that I've used that feature,
Ralph so.
I love that.
Yeah, I love that.
I think those are great examples
and great stories.
I've heard of a guy, you know,
going as far as to uploading a
job, you know, description and
uploading his resume and
comparing the two and say, OK,
tell me the differences between
the two.
Where am I lacking?
Right, Right.
And I want you to train me and
get me up to speed on these so
that I can interview.
Well, right.
It it it can, it can go that far
for you, right?
You know, So if you are
interviewing nowadays, if you're
not using this tool to prepare
you, you really doing yourself a
disjustice, right?
Because it can only, it's only
going to make you better, right?
Yeah, yeah.
No, another engineering prompt
engineering technique is
crafting prompts to break down a
big project into actionable
steps, right or helping someone
manage and prioritize tasks.
So imagine that you are and
we've all been in this
situation.
OK, boss has asked me to get
involved in this big project and
I and I need to lead this big
project.
You don't know where to start,
right?
You can get, you can create, use
your prompt engineering skills
to create the perfect prompt to
say, hey, you are an expert at
project management.
And in the context is I've been
given this project to do.
And I need you to help me
understand exactly the right way
to break this project down into
the right to the right
prioritization and task.
And I want you and these are the
instructions.
I want you to lay them out in
this way for me, right?
Do you understand the
competitive advantage that gives
you versus someone who's never
done it before?
Wow.
Right.
And, and Terry, and I was saying
this in the previous episodes,
right?
Think about everything we're
talking about in the context of
you doing this versus someone
who's not doing it.
That makes all the difference in
the world.
Because again, you will fly
right past people like they're
standing still who refuse to
take the time to learn how to do
this.
Because remember, 80% of the
people who use Gen.
AI do not use prompt
engineering. 80%, right?
That means only 20% of the
people who are actually using
the platforms are actually
getting the true value and the
true power out of it, right?
The, the, the, the other 80% are
only using it at a very, very
small level.
And if you take all of the
people who are using Gennii
versus all the people who are
not, it's even a greater people
who are not even using it at
all.
So these are your competitive
advantages in the workplace.
These are things that you can
use on a regular basis that that
are going to help you get ahead.
