Co-Thinking with AI: Prompts Companion Guide

This companion guide contains the five co-thinking prompts from the Co-Thinking with AI: Beyond the Hype, Into Your Edge session, each one built around a situation you are probably already in. These are not generic prompts pulled from a list. Each one is engineered to force a diagnostic conversation before AI produces any recommendation, which means what you get back reflects your specific situation, your actual experience, and your real context. The five prompts cover: navigating a career crossroads with competing professional identities, responding to job application questions in a way that is authentically yours, running a structured root cause analysis on a recurring business problem, analyzing your own presentation or meeting performance using a transcript, and building a brand voice document that makes everything you create with AI sound like you wrote it. Use one at a time. Give each prompt the context it asks for. Push back on the outputs. That is where the value lives, not in the prompt itself, but in the conversation it opens.
