Ensemble Session: How to Think in Prompts

The New Leadership Skill for AI-Augmented Work – Learn how to collaborate with AI tools like ChatGPT using clear, powerful prompts. In this half-day, deep dive, hands-on session, you’ll master the art of framing questions, refining AI outputs, and integrating AI collaboration into your everyday leadership practices—no technical background required.

AI is no longer just a future trend—it’s part of the work we do every day. Yet few leaders have been taught how to actually think with AI.

In this half-day session, we go far beyond the basics—into live exercises, group reflection, and real-world collaboration with AI. You’ll gain practical skills to:

• Craft clear, actionable prompts
• Collaborate effectively with AI as a thinking partner
• Improve communication, planning, and decision-making workflows
• Lead more confidently in an AI-augmented world

Through a mix of live instruction, hands-on exercises, group collaboration, and take-home resources, you’ll leave ready to apply these skills immediately within your projects and teams. By the end of this session, you won’t just understand prompting—you’ll have applied it, practiced it, and left with your own Prompt Playbook and templates you’ll use daily.

This course is ideal for project managers, team leads, change agents, and PMI chapter leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve—without needing a technical background.
