Write a Thank You Message to a Colleague or Team
You are a workplace culture and communications coach. I want to write a genuine thank you message to [RECIPIENT_NAME_OR_TEAM] for [SPECIFIC_CONTRIBUTION]. The impact of their contribution was [IMPACT]. Write 3 versions: a brief Slack message (under 50 words), a personal email (under 120 words), and a public recognition message suitable for a team meeting or company channel (under 80 words). Each should be specific about what they did and why it mattered — not a generic 'great work' message.
Manage Email Overload With Smart Templates
Act as a productivity and communications coach. I receive approximately [NUMBER] emails per day and spend [HOURS] hours a day on email. The most common types of emails I send repeatedly are: [COMMON_EMAIL_TYPES]. Create a set of 5 smart email templates I can use with minimal personalisation for the most frequent scenarios. Each template should have: a subject line formula, a 3-part structure (context, content, close), and clear [PLACEHOLDER] markers I can fill in within 60 seconds. Templates should sound human, not automated.
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 a Compelling Executive Summary Slide
Act as a business communication specialist. I need to write an executive summary slide for a presentation on [PRESENTATION_TOPIC] to [AUDIENCE_TYPE]. The full presentation covers: [FULL_PRESENTATION_SUMMARY]. The single most important message is: [KEY_MESSAGE]. Write the content for a one-slide executive summary that: contains no more than 5 bullet points, each under 12 words, leads with the recommendation or conclusion (not the background), uses language that resonates with a [AUDIENCE_LEVEL] audience, and could stand alone if the rest of the deck was not seen.
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.
Prepare for Tough Questions After a Presentation
Act as a presentation preparation coach. I am delivering a presentation on [PRESENTATION_TOPIC] to [AUDIENCE_TYPE] and I want to prepare for the toughest questions they might ask. Based on my content summary: [CONTENT_SUMMARY], generate the 8 most challenging questions a sceptical audience member might ask, provide a strong, evidence-based response framework for each, advise on how to handle a question I genuinely do not know the answer to, and give me a phrase to use when I need time to think before responding.
Write an Agenda for a High-Productivity Meeting
You are a meeting design specialist. I am running a [MEETING_DURATION]-minute meeting with [ATTENDEES] to achieve [MEETING_GOAL]. The meeting type is [MEETING_TYPE] (e.g. decision-making, problem-solving, update, brainstorm). Write a structured meeting agenda that: allocates time precisely to each item, labels each item as Information, Discussion, or Decision, includes a check-in or framing moment at the start, reserves time for questions and next steps at the end, and sends a clear signal of the outcomes expected. Also write the pre-read request to send 24 hours before.
Facilitate a Team Meeting That Avoids Common Pitfalls
Act as a meeting facilitation coach. I am facilitating a team meeting on [MEETING_TOPIC] with [NUMBER_OF_ATTENDEES] people including [CHALLENGING_DYNAMIC] (e.g. one dominant voice, conflict between two members, lack of engagement). Give me a facilitation guide covering: how to open the meeting to set the right tone, techniques to ensure all voices are heard, how to manage the challenging dynamic without singling anyone out, how to reach a decision or conclusion if the group gets stuck, and how to close in a way that creates energy and clear ownership.
Run a Retrospective That Actually Improves the Team
Act as an agile and team effectiveness coach. I need to run a team retrospective for [TEAM_TYPE] after [PROJECT_OR_SPRINT]. Previous retrospectives have resulted in [PREVIOUS_OUTCOME] (e.g. surface-level observations, no follow-through on actions). Design a retrospective format that: uses a fresh format beyond the standard 'went well / improve', surfaces genuine team issues in a psychologically safe way, produces 2–3 specific and owned action items (not vague intentions), and takes no more than [TIME_LIMIT] minutes. Include facilitator instructions and key questions.
Give Constructive Feedback to a Colleague or Direct Report
You are a feedback delivery coach. I need to give feedback to [RECIPIENT_NAME] who is my [RELATIONSHIP_TYPE] about [FEEDBACK_TOPIC]. The specific behaviour or situation I observed was [OBSERVED_BEHAVIOUR] and the impact it had was [IMPACT]. I want to deliver this feedback in a way that is: specific and evidence-based, focused on behaviour not character, oriented toward improvement not blame, and delivered in a way that preserves the relationship. Write a feedback script using the SBI model (Situation, Behaviour, Impact) with an optional coaching question at the end.
Deliver Positive Feedback That Actually Motivates
Act as a leadership communication coach. I want to give positive feedback to [RECIPIENT_NAME] about [SPECIFIC_ACHIEVEMENT]. Most positive feedback is too vague to be motivating. Write a feedback message that: names the specific behaviour or action precisely, explains the impact it had on the team, project, or customer, connects it to a quality or strength you want to reinforce, and delivers it in a way that feels genuine — not performative praise. Write both a verbal version (spoken in 30 seconds) and a written version for a message or email.
Write a Performance Review for a Direct Report
Act as a performance management coach. I need to write a formal performance review for [EMPLOYEE_NAME] who is a [EMPLOYEE_ROLE]. Their performance over the past [REVIEW_PERIOD] has been [OVERALL_ASSESSMENT] with key strengths in [KEY_STRENGTHS] and development areas in [DEVELOPMENT_AREAS]. Their most significant achievement was [TOP_ACHIEVEMENT]. Write a balanced, evidence-based performance review narrative covering: overall performance summary, 2–3 specific strengths with examples, 1–2 development areas with constructive framing, and a forward-looking development section. Under 400 words.
