IN-PERSON | Brainstorming with AI: How to Turn Ideas into Action

IN-PERSON | Brainstorming with AI: How to Turn Ideas into Action



Every great idea starts with a spark — but turning that spark into a strategy takes time, clarity, and a little creative push. In this interactive session, you’ll learn how to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude as brainstorming partners to generate ideas, explore new directions, and bring clarity to complex challenges.

 

You’ll also get hands-on with the Prompt Coach, a guided tool that helps you craft better

prompts step-by-step. Together, we’ll build a prompt and test it live — transforming loose

ideas into actionable next steps.

 

This session builds on concepts from Lead with AI: Mastering Prompt-Writing for Women in Leadership. Didn’t attend the previous session? No worries — whether you’re new to prompting or ready to take your AI skills to the next level, you’ll still walk away with practical ways to integrate AI into your workflow.

 

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of how AI can enhance creative and strategic thinking
  • Practical ways to use AI for planning, problem-solving, and innovation
  • A step-by-step guide on how to use the Prompt Coach to build better prompts
 

Because the future of leadership isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about knowing how to ask better questions.
