Structure a Business Presentation for a Senior Audience
You are an executive presentation coach. I need to deliver a [PRESENTATION_LENGTH]-minute presentation to [AUDIENCE_TYPE] about [PRESENTATION_TOPIC]. My key message is [KEY_MESSAGE] and I want the audience to [DESIRED_OUTCOME]. Structure my presentation using the Situation-Complication-Resolution framework: define each section with its purpose, the key content points per section, transitions between sections, and a powerful closing that drives the desired action. Also advise on the ideal number of slides and the one slide that absolutely must not be skipped.
Write Speaker Notes for a Presentation
You are a presentation delivery coach. I have a presentation with these slide titles and bullet points: [SLIDE_CONTENT]. I need speaker notes for each slide that: give me a natural spoken script (not just what is on the slide), include a transition phrase to move smoothly to the next slide, flag where to pause for questions or reactions, and keep each slide's notes to under 90 spoken seconds. Write conversational, confident notes — not a word-for-word script I will robotically read.
Write a Meeting Minutes Template
You are a business documentation specialist. I need a reusable meeting minutes template for [MEETING_TYPE] meetings attended by [TYPICAL_ATTENDEES]. Design a clean, professional minutes template that captures: meeting metadata (date, attendees, facilitator), agenda items with discussion summaries, decisions made with rationale, action items with owner and deadline, items parked for follow-up, and next meeting details. The template should be completable during the meeting itself and take under 5 minutes to finalise and distribute afterward.
Communicate Clearly Across Cultural Differences
Act as a cross-cultural communication specialist. I work with colleagues or clients from [CULTURE_OR_COUNTRY] and there are recurring miscommunications around [SPECIFIC_COMMUNICATION_CHALLENGE] (e.g. directness, hierarchy, written vs verbal preferences, meeting norms). Explain the cultural communication differences at play, give me 3 specific adjustments I can make to my communication style, provide example before-and-after versions of a message that demonstrate the adjustment, and advise on one question I should ask my counterpart to understand their communication preferences better.
Navigate a Disagreement With a Peer or Colleague
Act as a peer conflict resolution coach. I have a disagreement with my colleague [COLLEAGUE_NAME] about [DISAGREEMENT_TOPIC]. My position is [MY_POSITION] and their position is [THEIR_POSITION]. The stakes are [STAKES_LEVEL]. I want to resolve this in a way that preserves the working relationship and reaches the best outcome for the project. Write a conversation approach covering: how to open without triggering defensiveness, how to find the common ground beneath our different positions, how to propose a path forward, and how to handle it if we still cannot agree.
Influence a Decision Without Formal Authority
Act as an organisational influence coach. I want to influence the decision about [DECISION_TOPIC] but I have no formal authority over the decision-makers: [DECISION_MAKERS]. My preferred outcome is [MY_PREFERRED_OUTCOME] and my supporting rationale is [MY_RATIONALE]. Design an influence strategy covering: who to brief informally before the formal decision, how to frame my position in terms that resonate with each decision-maker's priorities, the data or evidence I should prepare, and what to do if the decision goes against me.
Use Storytelling to Make Data More Persuasive
Act as a data storytelling coach. I have the following data or findings I need to communicate to [AUDIENCE_TYPE]: [DATA_OR_FINDINGS]. The key message I want this data to support is [KEY_MESSAGE]. My audience is sceptical and data-fatigued. Transform my data into a compelling narrative: identify the most surprising or important data point, build a story arc around it (context, conflict, resolution), connect it to something the audience already cares about, and suggest one visual that would make the most critical data point undeniable.
Say No Professionally Without Damaging Relationships
You are an assertive communication coach. I need to say no to [REQUESTER_TYPE] who has asked me to [REQUEST]. My reason for declining is [REASON] but I am worried about being seen as uncooperative or difficult. Write 3 versions of a professional no: a direct decline with a brief explanation, a conditional yes with clear boundaries, and a warm redirect that offers an alternative. For each version, include the follow-up response if they push back. All versions should be confident but collegial.
Improve Your Active Listening Skills at Work
You are a communication skills coach. I have been told that I need to improve my active listening in workplace conversations — particularly in [SPECIFIC_CONTEXT] (e.g. 1-1s, client meetings, team discussions). My specific listening challenges are: [LISTENING_CHALLENGES] (e.g. I interrupt, I jump to solutions, I appear distracted). Give me a practical active listening improvement guide covering: the 3 most important listening behaviours to practise, specific phrases that signal genuine listening, how to slow down without appearing disengaged, and a 2-week daily practice to build the habit.
Write a Professional Reference Letter
You are a professional writing coach. I need to write a reference letter for [CANDIDATE_NAME] who is applying for [TARGET_ROLE]. I know them as their [YOUR_RELATIONSHIP] for [DURATION]. Their standout qualities are [KEY_QUALITIES] and the most impressive thing they achieved under my observation was [TOP_ACHIEVEMENT]. Write a formal reference letter (under 300 words) that: establishes my credibility as a referee in the opening, gives 2 specific evidence-based examples of their capability, directly addresses the requirements of [TARGET_ROLE], and closes with an unambiguous endorsement.
Write a Clear and Concise Business Report
Act as a business writing coach. I need to write a [REPORT_TYPE] report on [REPORT_TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE_TYPE]. The key findings are [KEY_FINDINGS] and the recommended actions are [RECOMMENDED_ACTIONS]. Structure a professional report with: an executive summary (half page), a situation overview, findings presented in order of importance, recommendations with rationale, risks and mitigations, and a clear conclusion. Each section should have a descriptive subheading. The full report should not exceed [PAGE_LIMIT] pages.
Write a Client-Facing Project Update Report
You are a client communications specialist. I need to send a project update to my client [CLIENT_NAME] for [PROJECT_NAME]. The project status is [STATUS] and the key progress this period is [KEY_PROGRESS]. There is one issue I need to flag: [ISSUE_TO_FLAG]. Next period's planned activities are [NEXT_ACTIVITIES]. Write a professional client update that: opens with the headline status clearly, presents progress positively but factually, addresses the issue honestly with a mitigation plan, and closes with clear next steps and milestones. Under 300 words. Confident and accountable.
