Prompt Like a Pro: Practical AI Techniques for Professionals

  • Online New Zealand (map)

In a fast-evolving professional landscape, it’s no longer enough to use AI tools — you must apply them with precision, confidence and purpose. This hands-on workshop shows you how to embed advanced prompting techniques into your workflow, so you spend less time wrestling tools and more time delivering results. Designed for professionals who demand clarity, control and impact in their work.

What You’ll Get:

  • Live walkthroughs using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity — all in real-time.

  • The PILLARS framework: your step-by-step model for generating reliable prompts that get work done.

  • Practical application: distilling long technical reports, creating a “Custom GPT” that genuinely aligns with your voice and role, comparing model outputs side-by-side.

  • Advanced workflows you can take straight into your job: using voice mode for rehearsing client or stakeholder conversations, automating repetitive tasks, increasing productivity without sacrificing professionalism.

  • Templates and reusable prompts — leave with a ready-to-go toolkit, not just theory.

Why this matters for you:

  • Move from experimentation to implementation — use AI to solve real-world professional problems, not just play around.

  • Elevate your deliverables: faster turnarounds, higher accuracy, more time for strategic thinking.

  • Maintain control and integrity: knowing how to prompt effectively means fewer errors, less re-work, better outcomes.

  • Stay ahead of the curve: in an environment where AI is increasingly part of the toolkit, this is about future-proofing your skills.

  • Applicable across disciplines: whether you’re in law, planning, engineering, architecture or consulting, the techniques translate into higher-value work.
