What you'll learn

Define clear goals before prompting

Learn how to outline your purpose, user, and success metrics so your AI outputs are clear, accurate, and actionable.

Use structure to get better AI results

Apply a simple "Quantum Leap Framework" to turn vague ideas into high-quality prompts and real business outcome

Adopt a systems-thinking mindset

Discover how to think like an AI collaborator, connecting creativity, clarity, and context for smarter decisions.

Why this topic matters

Generative AI makes it easy to create, but hard to create well. Most professionals jump straight to prompting without defining their goals, leading to messy, unfocused results. This session reframes AI fluency as a thinking skill, not a typing skill. You’ll learn to treat AI as a collaborator and use the "Quantum Leap" framework to design smarter, purpose-driven outputs that create real impact.
