ChatGPT Masterclass

How professionals use AI to think, write, and work more effectively

If AI feels unpredictable and you are tired of second‑guessing outputs, you do not need “better prompts.” You need a method that teaches you how AI really works.

You will leave as the person your team trusts to evaluate AI claims, stop bad ideas early, and ship reliable output.

This class is a fast, practical on‑ramp to AI literacy. You'll learn what ChatGPT is, how it works, and how to make it produce useful output with hands‑on labs and absolutely zero fluff.

This class empowers you to be the person who can explain, steer, and produce with AI without clever prompting tricks.

We'll cover LLM basics → the ChatGPT interface → prompt anatomy → safety & hallucinations → simple custom GPTs.

Myths vs. Reality

  • Myth: "ChatGPT doesn't understand context."

    ✓ Modern models track context when your request is scoped. We show you how to supply the context that matters. Vague in → vague out.

  • Myth: "It just parrots the internet."

    ✓ ChatGPT reads, predicts, and interprets context. With examples and constraints, it can synthesize faster than most humans, which makes you and your team faster.

  • Myth: "Hallucinations make it unusable."

    ✓ You'll learn a two‑minute "Can I trust this?" check that catches most errors. Use your knowledge to fill gaps. Keep what's useful; fix or discard the rest.

  • Myth: "If I use AI, people will know."

    ✓ With clear requests and light polishing, it reads like you. The stigma is fading as professionals learn responsible use and disclosure.

What You Said → What You Meant → What You Got

  1. Vague Request: "Write something about our launch."
  2. Clear Request: "Draft a 120-word LinkedIn update in my tone; my audience is SMB owners; include a soft CTA."
  3. Result: Readable, on‑brief copy that's ready to post with minimal editing.
Get past the myths and reserve

Translation: the model isn't dumb; unclear asks are. This class fixes that.

Curriculum

  1. 1

    How ChatGPT Actually Works (in plain English): what they are and why they're suddenly everywhere.

    Why it matters: you'll be able to explain AI to anyone and sound credible doing it.

  2. 2

    How We Got Here: neural nets → transformers → ChatGPT.

    Why it matters: once you see why models behave the way they do, you stop fighting them and start guiding them.

  3. 3

    Which Model When: Learn what large language models are and what to use (or avoid) for common tasks.

    Why it matters: no more guessing. Use the right tool and get better results in less time.

  1. 4

    Clear, testable asks: goal, audience, examples, constraints.

    Why it matters: modern models don't need magic prompts; they need clear instructions and examples.

  2. 5

    Verification & correction loop: ask → check evidence → fix → lock.

    Why it matters: you'll catch hallucinations quickly and keep what's useful.

  3. 6

    Tiny AI Assistants (no‑code, custom-built): learn to make custom assistants that excel at one specific task in your workflow.

    Why it matters: single‑purpose helpers are easier to trust, reuse, and maintain, and they fit into what you already use.

Plus: access to the Reflexivity AI custom assistant after class.

Interactive Labs

These aren't demos; they're muscle‑building reps. Each lab turns a core AI concept into a repeatable skill you can use at work tomorrow. You’ll follow structured exercises that build reflexes first, then move into real application — so the skills stick.

Lab 1

Clarity in Action

Turn a fuzzy idea into a precise, testable request that delivers a structured, on‑brief output.

Skill: translating vague human intent into machine‑readable asks.

Lab 2

Context That Transfers

Move your idea from text to image without losing meaning. Keep tone, constraints, and details intact.

Skill: maintaining coherence across text, image, and voice.

Lab 3

From Idea to Plan

Convert your concept into a one‑page execution plan covering audience, steps, and risks that you can start implementing immediately.

Skill: learn how to utilize AI‑assisted planning to produce real work faster.

How the Masterclass Operates

This is an interactive coaching session, not a lecture. We structure the session so you leave with finished work, not just notes.

Real-world examples, live on screen

We work from attendee suggestions, so the outcomes map to real problems, not canned demos. Best of all, you get a copy of the session yourself to refer to anytime you'd like.

Short activities with deadlines

6–10 minute build cycles so you make progress fast and see the loop (ask → test → refine) in action.

Live iteration, feedback, and support

We tighten language, add examples/constraints, and show how tiny changes can shift output quality.

De‑hallucination checks

You can't use an untrustworthy tool. You will learn quick verification steps you can run in two minutes before trusting an answer or hitting send.

Outcomes You Can Count On

Clarity under pressure

We explain what AI can and can't do — in plain English.

A repeatable method

Write clear asks, verify quickly, and lock reliable output in a loop you can reuse anywhere.

Momentum the next day

Know where to start, what to try next, and how to keep improving without prompt-of-the-day hype.

Recording + slides included so the methods stick.

Before → After

Before

  • ✗ Staring at a prompt box, not sure what to type.
  • ✗ Copying random "best prompts" from the internet.
  • ✗ Unsure what's real and what's hallucination.
  • ✗ Sounding vague in meetings when AI comes up.

After

  • ✓ Write clear asks that get useful results fast.
  • ✓ Keep outputs on brief with examples and constraints.
  • ✓ Verify quickly, correct confidently, and trust what you ship.
  • ✓ Sound like the person who understands how AI actually works.

Why This Matters Now

AI is already part of hiring, marketing, sales, research, and creative work. The people who can steer it work faster and look smarter in every meeting.

  • Protect your credibility: speak clearly about what AI can and can't do.
  • Stop wasting time: draft a client email, summary, or caption in minutes, not hours.
  • Look like a leader: turn chaos into a plan on the spot.

Objections, Answered

"I don't want people knowing I used AI."
Skill issue. You will learn to write prompts clearly, iterate, and polish the output so it sounds like you.
"Isn't prompting dead?"
The truth is that modern AI doesn't need structured prompts and as a result we don't teach prompt tricks. We show you how to make clear asks and combine that with a fast verification loop. No magic words or arcane prompt structures. Just repeatable methods that work.
"I tried ChatGPT; it hallucinated."
You'll learn a two-minute truth test to catch and correct errors before you trust an answer.
"I'm too busy."
In just two hours, you leave with a recording, slides, and repeatable methods that help you produce output faster.
