ChatGPT Prompts

You know you should be posting online every day, so you do. But your focus on quantity is leaving quality behind. Most content sucks, and some of yours probably does. It’s safe, predictable, and instantly forgettable. You’re doing it to hit a quota, not to make a real difference. Hitting publish is no use if the words don’t hit home. You’re simply training your audience to ignore your work.

The difference between viral and invisible is the courage to say what you really mean. The courage to share what people are really thinking. ChatGPT can help. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.

Transform boring content ideas into viral hits with ChatGPT

Say what your industry gets wrong

Boring content happens when you’re scared to have a real opinion. Everyone nods along to the same tired advice. Nobody challenges the status quo. Your industry has sacred cows that need slaughtering, and you know what they are. Call them out with proof and confidence. Say what others won’t, and people pay attention.

“Based on what you know about my industry expertise and opinions, identify the top 5 things I believe my industry gets completely wrong. For each one, help me craft a bold statement that challenges conventional wisdom, backed by specific evidence or examples. Make each statement direct and provocative enough to stop scrollers in their tracks. Focus on beliefs that are widely accepted but actually harmful or outdated.”

Transform a bland draft into a controversial opener

You’ve written something safe and sensible. Great. Now make it dangerous. Take that boring post sitting in your drafts and give it the edge it needs to grab attention. Your first draft is never your best work especially when you’re playing it safe. Find the controversy hiding in your careful words.

“Take this draft post I’ve written: [paste your boring content]. Rewrite the opening to be controversial and attention-grabbing. Challenge a common assumption, make a bold claim, or start with a counterintuitive statement. Keep my core message but make it impossible to scroll past. Give me 3 different controversial angles I could take with this same content.”

Turn client wins into standalone hooks

Long case studies put people to sleep. But when you turn a client transformation into one punchy line, it hits them right in the feels. Your clients’ success stories contain viral gold. You just need to extract the message. These become your best hooks, opening lines, and standalone posts that stop the scroll.

“Based on what you know about my business and the transformations I create for clients, help me turn a recent client success into 5 different viral content hooks. Each should be under 15 words and work as a standalone post opener or complete tweet. Focus on the surprising insight or counterintuitive result that makes people stop and think. Make them screenshot-worthy.”

Hijack trending content with your take

That viral post everyone’s sharing? It’s probably wrong. Or at least incomplete. When everyone zigs, you should zag. Take what’s already working and add your controversial spin. Ride the wave while making your own splash. The best viral content builds on what’s already capturing attention, then flips the narrative.

“Here’s a post getting traction on social media: [paste the content]. Based on what you know about my expertise, help me craft the opposite take that adds value while standing out. Create a response that acknowledges why people love the original but offers a better, more nuanced perspective. Structure it to get attention from people already engaging with the trending topic.”

Write what scares you to publish

You know that post sitting in your drafts? The one that feels too real, too raw, too risky? That’s the one to publish. Fear is your guide, and it’s pointing toward viral content. If a post doesn’t make your heart race before hitting publish, it’s probably too safe. The content that scares you is what people remember.

“Based on what you know about my experiences and challenges, help me identify the story or insight I’m most afraid to share publicly. Then help me structure it into a post that’s vulnerable but valuable. Balance the personal revelation with actionable insights others can use. Make it real enough to connect but professional enough to position me as an expert. Ask for more information if required.”

Stop playing safe and start creating content that explodes your reach

Going viral with your content happens when you have the guts to say what you really think. Challenge industry norms with the first prompt. Turn boring drafts controversial with the second. Extract viral hooks from client wins. Hijack trending topics with your unique angle. Share the stories that scare you. Each prompt pushes ChatGPT to help you create content that actually goes viral, not just exists. You don’t need more time to create better content. You need more courage.

Your biggest failure is sitting there, waiting to become your greatest asset. Most people let setbacks crush them, replaying the pain on repeat while missing the hidden power of learning from them. They stay stuck in yesterday’s story when tomorrow’s breakthrough is one decision away. What if that failure was exactly what you needed to reach your next level?

Transform every setback into rocket fuel for your comeback. Quit playing small. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.

Turn setbacks into comebacks: ChatGPT prompts for growth

Find peace with what happened

Fighting reality is exhausting. And pointless. You can’t change what already happened, but you can change what it means. Peace comes from looking at the facts without the drama. See your role in the failure without any shame. Accept the lesson without creating a narrative, at least at first. Resistance keeps you stuck, acceptance sets you free. This is where your comeback begins.

“Based on what you know about me and my recent challenges [describe], help me find peace with what happened. Ask me three specific questions about the situation to understand it better. Then guide me through separating facts from emotions. Create a brief acceptance statement I can use when my mind starts replaying the failure. End with one action I can take today to move from resistance to acceptance.”

Be open to the possibility for growth

Every setback carries hints of something better. But only if you look. When you’re drowning in loss, you miss the lessons. When shame runs the show, you can’t see the strength you’re building. Flip the script. What skills did this teach you? What resilience are you developing? Your comeback requires you to get curious about what’s possible now.

“I want to see growth opportunities in my recent setback. Based on our previous discussions, identify three potential areas where this experience could lead to unexpected growth. For each area, ask me a question that helps me see possibilities I might be missing. Then suggest one small experiment I could try this week to explore each growth area.”

Find the story

You’re not a victim who life happens to. You’re the hero of your own life. Every comeback story worth telling has the same arc. You faced the dragon and lost. But you survived. You learned its secrets. You came back stronger and slayed it. This narrative becomes your superpower. Own it and you inspire others. Share it and you heal yourself. Make your mess your message in a tasteful way.

“Help me find the powerful story within my setback. Based on what you know about my situation, guide me through crafting my comeback narrative. Ask me about the moment I decided to fight back, the first small win I achieved, and who I’m becoming through this process. Then help me write a compelling three-sentence version of my story that I could share when asked about this experience.”

Write up the lessons

Your brain wants to forget pain. But lessons vanish if you don’t capture them. Don’t erase the wisdom. Document failures like a scientist studying breakthrough data. What worked? What didn’t? What would you do differently? These insights become your playbook for future success.

“Based on our conversation about my setback, help me extract and document the key lessons. Ask me what I learned about myself, about others, and about the situation. Then create a ‘lessons learned’ document with five specific insights I can apply going forward. For each lesson, include a concrete action or decision rule to prevent similar issues. Ask for more detail if required.”

Plan your comeback

Most people wait for motivation that never arrives. They think time heals everything. Wrong. Comebacks happen through calculated moves. Small wins build momentum. Clear goals create direction. New daily habits build your new identity. Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Don’t hope without a strategy. Start building your empire from the ashes.

“Now that we’ve processed my setback and found the lessons, help me create a comeback plan. Based on everything you know about my situation and goals, design a 90-day comeback strategy. Include three specific milestones, five daily actions that rebuild my confidence, and one bold move I should make in the next 30 days. Make it ambitious but achievable.”

Transform every failure into fuel for your success with ChatGPT

Setbacks don’t define you. Comebacks do. Find peace with reality and open your mind to hidden opportunities. Discover the hero story waiting inside your struggle. Capture every lesson before it disappears. Build your comeback strategy starting now. Your biggest failure holds the blueprint for your greatest success, and you know it’s true. Your future self will be grateful it happened.

By Jodie Cook,

When was the last time you got an email newsletter that was actually good? It’s far too rare, and that’s an opportunity. Company updates, useless information and mediocre offers are being blasted out to mailing lists every single day. They’re wasting everyone’s time.

While everyone is sending trash communication, yours can stand out. You can start conversations that build trust and drive sales. You can make people think, spark genuine replies, and compel people to take action. It’s possible right now.

The difference between emails that get deleted and emails that get results comes down to connection. Here’s how to maximise yours with ChatGPT. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.

Transform your email game with ChatGPT: write messages that actually connect

Start every email like you mean it

If you were writing an email to one single person, how would you start it? That’s the vibe to channel when you’re emailing your list. Forget “hey all” or “hi everyone.” Write to one person. The solo eyes that are scanning your words. Create a pattern interrupt when they believe for a second that you’re only writing to them. Make it conversational from word one.

“Help me rewrite this mass email to sound like I’m writing to one specific person. Replace generic greetings with personalized ones using [name]. Create an opening line that speaks directly to their current situation or interests. Add a closing question that invites a real response about their challenges. The tone should be conversational, like I’m messaging a smart friend who I respect. Here’s my email: [paste email]”

Share one mistake that matters

Perfect people are boring and unrelatable. Your list wants to know you’re human too. Share one specific mistake you made this week to build trust and teach a lesson. Make it a mistake you know they’ve made as well. Pick something real that happened, explain what went wrong, then share what you learned. Show you’re the person with the way forward for them. Vulnerability creates connection when used in the right way.

“I want to share a business mistake in my next email to build trust with my list. Help me craft a 150-word story about [describe a recent mistake or challenge]. Structure it to: 1) Briefly explain what happened, 2) Share what I learned, 3) Connect it to a lesson my audience can apply. Make it feel like I’m confiding in a friend, not lecturing. My audience struggles with [describe their main challenges].”

Ask what they really need

Businesses guess what their customers want and often get it wrong. But your list will tell you exactly what to build next if you just ask. Send an email asking one genuine question about their biggest struggle right now. Then actually read every response. Position yourself in their mind as someone who actually listens. It makes them more likely to listen to you. After that, create the solution they ask for.

“Write an email that asks my subscribers one powerful question about their biggest current challenge in [my area of expertise]. Make it clear I’ll personally read every response and use their input to shape what I create next. Include 2-3 follow-up questions that dig deeper into their specific situation. End by explaining exactly how their answer will help me serve them better. Keep it under 200 words and genuinely curious in tone.”

Reply to everyone personally

One sharp sprint manning your company inbox is worth its weight in gold. You’ll hear about their niggles, understand their requests, and get familiar with how they communicate to others. The rest is easy. You have to solve their problems, empathise with their viewpoints and mirror their language back. Your open rates go up when they believe you really care. Building a personable brand starts with making connections.

“Create 5 email reply templates I can customize when responding to subscriber messages. Each should: 1) Acknowledge something specific they mentioned, 2) Add value with a quick tip or resource, 3) Ask a follow-up question to continue the conversation. Make them feel personal, not automated. Include templates for: thanking for feedback, answering a question, responding to a complaint, celebrating their win, and following up on their challenge.”

Write like you’re talking to your smartest friend

Your subscribers are smart people who appreciate straight talk. When you email them, write like you’re texting your most successful friend about something exciting you discovered. Drop the formal language and get to the point. Don’t patronize, don’t over-explain, don’t talk down to them in any way. Use short sentences to show respect. Start sentences with “And” or “But” when it feels right. Make people actually want to read your emails instead of archiving them.

“Rewrite this email draft to sound like I’m texting my smartest, most successful friend about something exciting I discovered. Strip out all corporate language, jargon, and unnecessary words. Use short sentences. Start sentences with ‘And’ or ‘But’ when it feels natural. Make it punchy, valuable, and respectful of their intelligence. Here’s my draft: [paste email]. Keep the core message but make every word count.”

Make every email count by building real relationships

Stop treating your email list like a broadcast channel. Start every email with genuine connection and end with an invitation to respond. Share your mistakes and what you learned from them. Ask your subscribers what they need and then actually create it. Reply personally to build relationships that last. Write like you’re talking to one smart friend, not presenting to thousands. Turn your mass emails into conversations and watch your business transform.

Scroll down the feed of any social media platform and you see the problem. Everyone’s content is starting to look the same. As people get scared of oversharing or alienating people, or using AI to generate terrible posts, they start writing the same vanilla messaging and hiding their true colours. Their strong beliefs don’t come out. They pretend to be like everyone else. They blend in. But there’s another way: your weirdness could be your superpower.

You weren’t put here to go through the motions with posting online. It’s time to get real. It’s time to stand out. ChatGPT can help. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.

Stand out from the crowd: ChatGPT prompts for memorable content

Understand fears, desires and motivations

Get inside your audience’s head so they wonder how you got there. They have specific dreams keeping them up at night and fears that stop them from taking action. Average creators guess what their audience wants. Winners know for sure. They speak directly to the pain points that matter. When you understand someone’s deepest motivations, your content resonates on a whole new level.

“Based on what you know about my target audience from our previous conversations, analyse their deepest fears and desires. Create 5 specific pain points they face daily, then match each with a hidden desire they might not even admit to themselves. For each pairing, write a single sentence that would make them think ‘how did you know that about me?’ Make the language direct and use their exact words where possible. Ask for more detail if required.”

Rework the hook

You only have a few seconds to hook someone on any platform. Your first line determines whether they keep reading or keep scrolling. Everyone writes their hook once and calls it done. But the first version is rarely the best version. Your hook needs to create an information gap, make a bold claim, or challenge a common belief. Get alternatives and see which one stands out the most. Test different angles until you find the one that grabs attention.

“Take this opening line from my content: [paste your opening line]. Based on what you know about my writing style and target audience, create 7 alternative hooks. Make each one completely different – vary the structure, angle, and emotional trigger. Include options that are bold statements, create information gaps, challenge common beliefs, or use unexpected contrasts. Great hooks are not questions. They are hard-hitting statements. Rank them from safest to most attention-grabbing. Make each hook 10 words or fewer.”

Be more weird

Your first draft is safe. It’s normal, it’s conservative. It doesn’t turn heads. It doesn’t shock anyone into action. The majority water down their message to avoid offending anyone. They end up offending no one and inspiring no one either. Crank up the shock factor. Say what others are thinking but won’t say. Take a stance that makes people choose sides. Your weird is someone else’s refreshing honesty.

“Review this piece of content I’ve written: [paste your content]. Based on what you know about my brand and communication style, make it dramatically weirder and more memorable. Push every vanilla statement to its extreme. Replace generic observations with specific, standout angles. Add unconventional examples or analogies. Include at least one line that would make someone gasp or laugh out loud. Keep my authentic voice but remove all the boring parts.”

Get a critique from a cynical naysayer

Nobody learns from yes-men. You need someone to poke holes in your content before your audience does. Safe players surround themselves with supporters who tell them everything is great. Real growth comes from harsh feedback. Let ChatGPT channel your biggest sceptic. Face the criticism head-on and make your content bulletproof. Every objection you address makes your message stronger.

“Based on what you know about my content and target audience, become my harshest critic. Review this content: [paste your content]. Channel a cynical industry veteran who’s seen it all. Point out every weakness, cliché, and place where I’m playing it too safe. Question my assumptions and credentials. Be brutal but specific – for each criticism, explain exactly why it weakens my message. End with 3 specific changes that would make even a sceptic pay attention.”

Experiment with formats

Same message, alternative delivery, can mean the difference between minimal engagement and going viral. It’s tempting to stick to one format because it’s comfortable. But comfort doesn’t create breakthroughs. Your best-performing content might be in a format you haven’t tried yet. Keep going until you find the one that works. Test everything. Measure results. Then do more of what connects.

“Based on what you know about my content goals and target audience, transform this piece of content into 5 completely different formats for [social platform]: [paste your content]. Create versions for: a personal story format, a contrarian hot take, a step-by-step guide, a behind-the-scenes confession, and a predictive/future-focused piece. For each format, write the first 3 lines to show how the tone and structure would change. Identify which format best serves my message.”

Create content worth remembering: make your mark with bold choices

Playing safe guarantees mediocrity. But these prompts transform your content from forgettable to unforgettable. Get inside your audience’s head until you know them better than they know themselves. Rework your hooks until they’re impossible to ignore. Own your weirdness and let sceptics make you stronger. Experiment with formats until you find your winner.

Your content should make people feel something. Make them think differently. Make them take action. Make them cry, if you like. The world has enough generic content. Stop hiding your true colours and create something only you could write.

More than 800 million people are using ChatGPT each week, and one in five people use it for work, but most are barely tapping into what it can actually do.

I hear people say they use it to summarize articles or write emails faster, and that’s fine. But I’ve found that the real benefit comes when you use prompts to help you think. Not to replace your thinking, but to sharpen it, organize it, or speed it up when your brain is already juggling too much. It’s easy to underestimate how much mental space gets wasted just preparing for a meeting. That’s where prompts come in. They give you structure without slowing you down. I’ve been collecting the kinds of prompts that help with focus. Some of these might sound simple, but when you’re in the middle of a busy day, a good prompt can be the difference between momentum and burnout. I’ll share a few I’ve used and why they work.

Prompt: Help Me Prioritize These 10 Tasks Based On Impact, Deadline, And Visibility To Key Stakeholders

I have never loved Gantt charts. I’m sure they work wonderfully for project managers, but for many people like me, they can seem overwhelming. That is why this is such a great prompt. This one is great when your list feels never-ending and every task looks urgent. Instead of spending energy figuring out what to do first, you paste in your list and let the system help you rank it. I’ve found this especially helpful during weeks where everything feels like it is due yesterday. It helps me see what really matters based on who’s watching, what’s due right now, and what will move the needle.

Prompt: Turn This Idea Into Three Talking Points I Can Use In A Meeting

Part of developing our curiosity is to create interesting conversations that allow others to explore ideas they hadn’t considered. This prompt helps create interesting directions to take a meeting. You might have pages of notes or a vague idea you want to bring to a meeting, but it’s not clear how to frame it. This prompt gives you three focused bullets you can actually say out loud. It forces clarity. If you tend to ramble or over-explain under pressure, this gives you something solid to lean on.

Prompt: What Are The Most Common Assumptions People Make About This Topic, And Which Ones Should I Question?

Part of my research regarding curiosity found that one of the things that inhibits it is the assumptions we make. But, how do you know what people assume? This is a prompt I use when something feels stuck or when I’m about to launch something new. It pushes you to look at how you’re thinking and what others might be thinking. I’ve used this when creating new courses, writing articles, and advising teams. It brings to the surface the things you’re assuming are true but haven’t really examined.

Potential buyers visit your website, check your LinkedIn, scan your content. Then they disappear. They choose someone else. Someone who connects with them instantly. Someone who matches their specific needs. What if you could figure out exactly what makes you irresistible to the clients you want most?

Most business owners overlook the reasons clients buy. But that information holds clues and ChatGPT can help. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.

How to make clients buy: ChatGPT prompts for unmistakable attraction

Understand why people buy

People buy based on feelings while logic justifies their decision afterwards. This fundamental truth applies to your prospects. They scan for someone who gets them. Someone they trust to solve their specific issues. Someone whose approach aligns with their vision. Before you can influence them, you need to know exactly what drives their decisions.

“Your task is to help me understand why my ideal clients really buy from businesses like mine. Using what you know about what I sell and who my dream clients are, analyse the deeper emotional and psychological needs driving these purchases. If required, ask questions to find information you don’t have. For each need, help me identify the real desires underneath. Create a table with three columns: ‘Surface benefit’, ‘Real motivation’, and ‘Strategic positioning’. Include at least 5 rows covering different aspects of why people would choose my service.”

Decode your dream customer

Business owners have vague ideas about the demographics or job titles of their dream client. That approach fails every time. You need to get inside their head. Know their fears. Understand their ambitions. Figure out what keeps them up at night. Speak directly to these concerns. That way, your work becomes impossible to ignore. Your messaging hits harder. Your offers feel custom-made for them.

“Guide me through creating a comprehensive ideal client profile that goes beyond basic demographics. Ask me questions about my most successful client relationships, one by one. For each question, dig deeper into what made these clients perfect fits. After our discussion, create a detailed profile that includes: their biggest fears, core desires, daily frustrations, values and beliefs, and specific language they use to describe their problems. End with three exact phrases I should use in my marketing to instantly connect with them.”

Uncover your magnetic elements

Your biggest advantages remain invisible to you. Your background. Your approach. Your process. The way you think. ChatGPT has been learning about you through all your previous conversations. It can spot patterns you miss. The unique combination of traits that sets you apart. Use this prompt for a deep analysis.

“Based on what you know about me through our previous conversations about [my business, content, and approach], what makes my work unique or magnetic? Analyse my approach, background, and communication style. Identify 5 specific elements that could attract clients to my business that I might be overlooking. For each element, explain why it matters to potential clients and how I could highlight it more effectively in my marketing.”

Master your communication style

Your words create connection or distance. The phrases that stick. The stories that resonate. The explanations that click. Every message carries an opportunity. Winners identify the language patterns that work for them. They use these patterns consistently to build recognition and trust. Find your authentic voice. The one that commands instant attention.

“Help me identify my most effective communication patterns. I’ll share examples of my content that has performed well with my audience. Analyse these examples for common elements in my tone, structure, word choice, and storytelling approach. What specific aspects of my communication style seem to connect most with my audience? Create a brief style guide I can reference when creating new content, highlighting the 5 key elements that make my communication magnetic. [Include 2-3 examples of your social posts, articles, or emails that received strong engagement]”

Amplify your differences

Blending in kills business growth. Too many entrepreneurs follow industry standards. They use identical templates. Then they wonder why nobody remembers them. Your quirks are your superpowers. The elements that make you different make you memorable. You don’t need universal appeal. You need to become unforgettable to specific people. Start emphasizing your edges.

“Your task is to identify what makes me fundamentally different from others in my space. First, ask me about my industry and what others typically offer. Then, ask questions about my unique approach, background, or philosophy. After gathering this information, create a comparison chart showing standard industry practices versus my approach. For each difference, explain why this could be attractive to certain clients. End with three unique selling propositions I should emphasize in all my marketing materials.”

Make your work irresistible and draw dream clients to you

Understand the real reasons people buy to attract them in. Decode what your dream customers truly want. Uncover the unique elements that make your work stand out. Master the communication style that resonates with your audience. Big up the differences that make you unforgettable. Your magnetic qualities already exist. Now it’s time to find them.

Everyone wants to scale their business but hardly any make it a success.

Only 22% of new businesses launched in the past decade have pulled it off. 70% of startups struggle to scale, and half of small businesses don’t make it past year five. The odds don’t look good.

But here’s the thing. Two-thirds of the value created in new businesses happens during scale-up. Companies that nail their scaling are three times more likely to succeed.

It’s an important phase and the rewards are there if you can crack the code. Join the 22% with 7 ChatGPT prompts to help you scale.

Scale your business with ChatGPT: prompts for ideation, planning and success

Know when to make your move

“Adopt the role of a business analyst. What are the key indicators that suggest my business is ready to scale? Help me assess whether now is the right time to expand in [describe your industry/niche].”

“Guide me through developing a scaling strategy that aligns with my current business model and market conditions. What steps should I take to prepare for growth? Ask 5 questions, one by one, about my business plan before providing a draft strategy [Include your business model and business plan]”

A solid plan is your roadmap to success. Without it, you’re just wandering. ChatGPT can suggest areas to explore that you may have missed.

Spot your scaling opportunities

“Acting as a growth advisor, help me identify potential scaling opportunities, such as new markets, products, or services. How can I evaluate and prioritize these options in line with the scaling strategy outlined. Here’s what we have tried so far: [describe that here]”

The right opportunity can skyrocket your growth. Get a list of ideas, discount those that won’t work, then choose a few and double down.

Prepare for the pitfalls

“What are some common challenges businesses like mine face when scaling, and how can I mitigate them? [Add more specific business details if required] Provide specific strategies for navigating potential pitfalls.”

70% of scale-ups fall short in at least one critical area, identified by McKinsey as being product & strategy, go to market, technology, people, operations, capital and governance. Cover all your bases.

Build your dream team

“Help me create a plan for scaling my team as my business grows, especially as I explore [specify the strategy you want to explore]. What roles should I prioritize hiring for, and how can I maintain a strong company culture? Here’s information about my team right now: [include that here]”

Get your finances in order

“What financial considerations should I keep in mind when scaling my business as planned? Guide me through managing cash flow, securing funding, and planning for financial sustainability. First, ask me questions about my current finances so you have a deeper understanding of my situation.”

Successful scale-ups raise 250% more investment than anticipated. If you’re going for funding, be prepared for a windfall when you get this right.

Streamline your operations

“Assist me in refining my operations to support scaling. What changes should I consider in processes, technology, or partnerships to handle increased demand? First, ask me questions about my current operational setup and point out any areas of concern. Then move onto adaptations required for scaling.”

Efficiency is key. Make sure your operations can handle the growth, then throw everything at the top of the funnel. Without this step, your business could buckle under the strain of even your first efforts at scaling.

“What are some common challenges businesses like mine face when scaling, and how can I mitigate them? [Add more specific business details if required] Provide specific strategies for navigating potential pitfalls.”

70% of scale-ups fall short in at least one critical area, identified by McKinsey as being product & strategy, go to market, technology, people, operations, capital and governance. Cover all your bases.

Build your dream team

“Help me create a plan for scaling my team as my business grows, especially as I explore [specify the strategy you want to explore]. What roles should I prioritize hiring for, and how can I maintain a strong company culture? Here’s information about my team right now: [include that here]”

Your team can make or break your scaling efforts. Get a second opinion on the people you have in place, and build up with the best new hires.

Get your finances in order

“What financial considerations should I keep in mind when scaling my business as planned? Guide me through managing cash flow, securing funding, and planning for financial sustainability. First, ask me questions about my current finances so you have a deeper understanding of my situation.”

Successful scale-ups raise 250% more investment than anticipated. If you’re going for funding, be prepared for a windfall when you get this right.

Streamline your operations

“Assist me in refining my operations to support scaling. What changes should I consider in processes, technology, or partnerships to handle increased demand? First, ask me questions about my current operational setup and point out any areas of concern. Then move onto adaptations required for scaling.”

Efficiency is key. Make sure your operations can handle the growth, then throw everything at the top of the funnel. Without this step, your business could buckle under the strain of even your first efforts at scaling.

If you find yourself on a stage or in the spotlight, you had better take it seriously. People are watching, so don’t let them down. Open with confidence, deliver with passion, and close with a bang. There is no other way. But if you’re not sure how to begin preparing, this might seem like a mammoth task. Luckily, there’s time to learn.

These five public speaking experts have you covered, along with a little help from ChatGPT. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.

Wow your audience with your words: ChatGPT prompts for public speaking

Get ideas for keynotes

Keynote speaker, leadership performance coach, and host of the Compete Every Day podcast Jake Thompson uses ChatGPT to get ideas for keynotes, “as a baseline to start and then adjust the copy and tune.” He said it’s helpful if you’re “stuck generating a strong starting point.” Don’t let the blank page intimidate you. Give ChatGPT information about your audience and their goals, to get brand new ideas you can roll with in minutes. Prompt like a winner from the very start, following Thompson’s lead.

“You are an expert marketing copywriter. Create a list of five ideas for keynote speech titles for my talk for [describe your audience, e.g. new managers and leaders], aspiring to be [describe their goal, e.g. high performance in their role].”

Once you have options for ideas, choose your favourite and request a framework with examples tailored to your field of expertise.

“The talk will discuss the importance of [outline the key learning objectives, e.g. self-leadership, building rapport with team members, investing in your professional network]. Create a structure for the talk. Include titles and subtitles that incorporate examples and metaphors from [your signature topic, e.g. sports, business] to [outcome you want to achieve, e.g. inspire, motivate] the audience.”

Resonate with your audience

Keynote speaker, corporate facilitator and founder of Breakthrough Play, Gary Ware, has worked with some household name brands, including HPHP +1.3%, IntuitIntuit 0.0% and GoFundMe, to improve the public speaking skills of their outward-facing team members. Ware is all about the audience. Use these prompts to make a speech you have already written super relevant to the people in the room. Don’t miss the mark by taking them in turn.

“The audience of my next talk consists of [describe your audience including their profession, typical age, and any other characteristics] and the theme of the [event, e.g. conference] is [describe the theme, e.g. marketing]. Based on this information, outline the key interests or concerns my speech should address to be most relevant to them.”

When you have your answer, incorporate the learning into your speech, then check it aligns.

“Based on your recommendations given, review my attached talk to ensure my message is aligned with this audience’s expectations and needs. [Paste speech]”

Balance warmth and competence

Vanessa Van Edwards is founder of The Science of People and bestselling author of books Captivate, unpacking the science behind succeeding with people, and Cues, mastering the secret language of charismatic communication. She delivers 50 keynote speeches every year and knows how to make a great impression that lasts long after her talk is over.

“The best presenters have the perfect blend of warmth and competence,” Van Edwards explained. “But most of us have an imbalance between the two.” To redress the balance, Van Edwards pastes her script into ChatGPT and asks for recommendations. Here’s a prompt you can try for yourself.

“Review the script for an upcoming keynote I’m delivering. Identify three sections that lack warmth, and suggest the most appropriate way to improve that (for example, with a story, joke, case study, example or warm words) being specific about what to add or remove. Then, identify three sections with the potential to signal more competence, and suggest what to add (for example data, facts, analytics or competent words), being specific. [Paste script]”

Breathe more often

Founder of Best Speech Mike Pacchione, a keynote coach who has worked with renowned speakers such as James Clear, Donald Miller, Amy Porterfield and Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton, wants you to focus on breathing. Sounds simple? There’s much more to it. “Speakers can speak with more power when they breathe frequently,” he explained. “But they write notes in paragraphs and long sentences. That leads to being out of breath by the time you hit a full stop.”

Pacchionne recommends that speakers write their scripts as if they’re song lyrics. In other words, format your keynote wording in such a way where you are reminded to take a breath. An ideal task for ChatGPT.

“Rewrite the following text with the exact same words, but add a line break every 7-10 words. The end product should resemble song lyrics instead of written paragraphs. [Paste your script]”

When you have your reworked speech, Pacchionne recommends you “go back and make sure the breathing breaks are in natural spots,” adding that “a speaker would be far better served with that format versus paragraphs.”

Make a backup plan

Entrepreneur, bestselling author, podcast host and keynote speaker Liz Bohannon is hired to give keynotes of different lengths, usually between 30 and 60 minutes. But the story is sometimes different on the day. “Often the event is running late, so I have less time than I’d planned for.” Bohannon uses ChatGPT to make a robust backup plan, so she’s prepared for any eventuality before she arrives.

“This speech is [duration]. I need to shorten it by [number] minutes but maintain [topic of speech, lesson or takeaway] as the main point. Make suggestions as to which parts I can cut while maintaining the powerful message: [Paste script]”

Stand out on stage: ChatGPT prompts to show up and wow

Give your audience everything they want and more when you prepare well using ChatGPT. Get ideas for talks with suitable examples, resonate with your audience whatever the event, and balance warmth and competence for charismatic delivery. Don’t forget to breathe by seeing your paragraphs as lyrics, and make a backup plan to fit in with questionable organizer timings.

Show up, stand tall, and say your words with pride. Secure raving fans and repeat bookings. The mic is yours, don’t let us down.
