AI To Communicate With Anyone & Everyone

Last month, I spoke at Deloitte and profiled one of their senior staff with ChatGPT, Yvette, on the best ways to communicate with her.

It gave me this.

One of the event attendees who had previously employed Yvette said, “That is amazing; that is exactly spot on for how to speak with her.”

This week, we had a K&J client do the same profiling for a potential investor, and it worked a charm.

Here is how you can use the same prompt to determine the best communication style for potential clients, hires, colleagues, or investors.

1. Grab the LinkedIn profile of the person you are intending to speak with
   

2. Go to Google and enter (insert name of person you are speaking with + articles or blogs)

   

   List of interviews and articles

   
   

3. Go to ChatGPT - (you’ll need the paid version)
   

4. Use the following prompt:
   
   “Can you please tell me key insights about this LinkedIn profile (insert LinkedIn profile of the person you are using)
   
   Please give me details on what communication strategies would work best for (insert name of person you are communicating with) and how I should focus my communication to work with her best.
   
   Here are some extra sources ((insert name of person you are communicating with) that you can use as references:
   
   1. (Insert a link to the reference articles or interviews you captured earlier)
   
   Please add any other relevant search links that pertain to ( (insert name of person you are communicating with) and their career to date”

Like all things AI, you need to be careful that it doesn’t give you terrible advice, but understanding how somebody likes to be spoken to will take you a long way in life.

Use this information as a guide and test it in real time when meeting the person.

The Productivity Midwit

Here's what the productivity industrial complex doesn't want you to know.

All the tools, hacks, and other methods that "boost" productivity are bullshit.

The real issue is complexity.

The more you multitask, the more organised and systematic you need to be. And on the contrary, the more you focus, the less organised and systematic you need to be.

You don't need ClickUp to sweep floors. But you might need ClickUp to sweep floors, stock fridges, send invoices, and book meetings.

When you increase the surface area of your to-do list, you increase your need to spend on "productivity." You spend an hour and $25 on that subscription, then 2 hours and $40 on those subscriptions, and so on.

At peak productivity, you end up having to manage your productivity—tools to manage tools, mental models to manage mental models. And on you go.

It's like that meme.

The dummy - does one job.

The midwit - does lots of jobs, needs lots of productivity tools and formulas.

The genius - does one job.

From what I've experienced (I spent many enjoyable years as a productivity midwit), the more your to-do list covers and the more you bounce around between meetings and tasks, effectiveness declines more parabolically, than linearly.

Basically, if you're thinking about "how to be more productive," don't be a sucker—just do less.
