Prompts shortened slightly for reading.
My prompt: I want your help reorganizing my personal Gmail using Tiago Forte's PARA Method. Suggest the best areas, resources, and projects, and when we're aligned, reorg the inbox. Right now, I hate that inbox. ChatGPT replied: I took a first pass through the account without changing anything. I can already see why you hate the inbox: 42,566 inbox threads, 39,911 of them unread. The inbox has effectively become an archive…
My prompt: I did a workshop at TeenSHARP a few weeks ago on "Are you in the driver's seat of your kid's education?" Go into Zoom, get the video, and cut some clips that are five to six minutes long. Muse replied: Found it in your TeenSHARP Zoom, and the transcript is in hand. I screened it for standalone clips, using the same evergreen test as before. Here is a 5-clip short course, about 31 minutes total…
My prompt: I want to set up a daily scan in ChatGPT (delivered to me at 6am each day) for grant opportunities that would be great for TeenSHARP. The scan should populate a database of potential funders and funding opportunities. ChatGPT replied: I'll review the grants, development plan, and prospect trackers first, then ask the questions that will shape the scan's priorities and qualification criteria… Sent the test email to Morgan, Tatiana, and Tamara with today's and October 10–11 weekend findings, contact routes, next steps, eligibility flags, and deadlines.
My prompt: I don't want to keep being the choke point for organizational communications. I want the team to get better at seeing what I'm seeing and making the edits before it gets to me. I'll keep uploading content I've edited (I'll provide the before and the after), and I need help creating a formula (and maybe even a checklist) for the type of feedback I typically give. ChatGPT replied: Here are the key edits and patterns I notice in your revisions, which can help shape the formula and checklist for future external communications…
Why I am doing this workshop
I'm doing this workshop for those of us leading organizations, managing teams, and juggling an inordinate amount of personal and professional responsibilities. This is for those of us looking to make greater impact, operate with more clarity, and to make the routine more effortless.
The growing range of AI tools has created a unique opportunity to advance our work, save and refocus our time, add capacity to our teams, and generate more resources.
I'll share how I approach these tools systematically and deliberately, and help you consider how to do the same. The goal is to reduce overwhelm, expand what is possible in your work, and free up time and energy for the people and pursuits that matter most to you.

What I've built with AI
A few tools I've built for my organizations
Your starting tool
Give AI the context your work requires.
Registration includes a master-prompt exercise: a set of questions to help you explain who you are, how you work, your writing preferences, your organization, and the leadership dynamics you navigate.
I'll show you how I use that kind of context and how you can start building your own. You'll also receive the tools shared during the workshop.

Who this is for
For leaders who want to use AI more strategically
Most leaders I talk to are already using AI and still getting generic output. The gap is usually setup: thin context, unclear standards, and judgment handed over by default. In this session I will show how I have organized my own work so AI has the context it needs, how I set standards for what comes back, and where I keep decisions in my own hands. You will leave with a starting point you can adapt to your own responsibilities, and a clearer sense of what to stop doing, what to strengthen, and what to set up first. You do not need a paid account to follow along, and you do not need to be an expert. You do need to bring a real piece of work in mind, because the examples only become useful when you can test them against your own setting.
Your host
I'm Atnre Alleyne.
I'm the founder of The Proximity Project and co-founder and CEO of TeenSHARP. My work spans leadership development, fundraising, programs, and building organizations that advance social change.
This workshop draws on how I use AI across those responsibilities. I'll share the systems I'm using, the lessons I'm learning, and where I still need to review, question, and revise the output.
Join me on November 18.
