Prompted: How One Question Changes Everything
Date: March 5, 2026 Time: 8:30am - 10:00am Location: Virtual Have you ever thought, “I asked the question… why didn’t I get the answer I wanted?” You’re not alone. This interactive Beacon session explores how one question, asked just a little differently, can change everything, especially when using AI. We’ll use AI as a learning partner to make this visible in real time, showing how framing, context, perspective, constraints, and iteration dramatically shape outcomes. This is not a technical workshop, and it’s not about mastering a tool. The focus is on shared exploration, imagination, and building confidence, not perfection. Working in small groups, participants will test, tweak, and compare results, while learning from each other’s successes, surprises, frustrations, and a few entertaining misfires along the way. Whether you’re solving a business problem, drafting communications, preparing a presentation, planning an adventure, or exploring something delightfully unexpected, you’ll see how better questions lead to better outcomes. AI isn’t magic. It’s direction. Come curious. Learn together. Leave thinking differently.
