Overview:

Option 1 - Prompt Engineering Foundations Focus: This session, led by Ray, takes business professionals from vague requests to precise, reliable prompts.

You learn how to structure a prompt for role, context, task and format, then apply it to real writing and data tasks - finishing with a personal prompt library ready for daily use. By the end, you'll see exactly how this applies to the prompts you write every day at work, with nothing left theoretical. The pace stays practical throughout, so every idea ties back to a real task you'll use again after the webinar. The focus stays on outcomes you can apply the same day, not just concepts to remember later.

Key Benefits:

• Turn vague requests into precise, reliable prompts
• Get accurate results from AI on the first attempt
• Leave with a personal prompt library ready for daily use
