Teach One Good Prompt, Not One Platform

When training your team on AI, don't teach the platform. Teach one good prompt.

Platforms change every quarter — buttons move, features rename, whole tools vanish. A prompt is durable. "Summarize this meeting into decisions, owners, and deadlines" works whether the tool is this year's favorite or next year's replacement.

So pick the single most useful prompt for your business and teach it properly. Show what a good input looks like. Show what a bad input produces. Let everyone practice on real work, not examples. One prompt, learned deeply, beats a tour of fifty features nobody remembers.

This is how I think about all training: depth beats breadth at the start. When I taught, one concept mastered gave students confidence faster than ten concepts skimmed. Confidence is what turns a skeptic into a user.

Once the team trusts that one prompt, they'll invent the next ten themselves — prompts for their own tasks, in their own words. That's when adoption actually happens: not when you teach the tool, but when they start teaching each other.

One prompt. Real work. Then get out of the way.

I explain frameworks; I don't give legal counsel.
