My friend Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, shared a fantastic prompt with me this week. It’s groundbreaking for anyone looking to get more out of AI—not just as a tool for quick answers, but as a true thought partner.
Here’s the idea: instead of using AI like a personal Google, imagine it as your coach—a guide helping you think deeply and creatively. Geoff’s framework is simple but incredibly effective. Check it out:
Celebrate Your Wins
Start with reflection.
“Looking back over the past year, what accomplishments are you most proud of? Big or small—what stands out?”
Focus on What’s Energizing You Now
Shift to the present moment.
“What’s exciting or energizing you right now in your life or work? Share whatever comes to mind.”
Dream Big for the Future
Cast a vision.
“Imagine it’s a year from now—what big wins are we celebrating together? Think big and let it flow.”
Clarify Your Ask
Bring it all together.
“Based on what you’ve shared—your wins, excitement, and goals—what’s one thing you can ask for help with to move closer to your vision?”
This isn’t just a set of questions—it’s a roadmap for clarity and action. Use it in your next brainstorming session, team meeting, or journaling practice. And if you want to dive deeper into Geoff’s work, head over to www.aileadership.com.
Clarity is powerful. Take this prompt for a spin and see where it takes you.
