Q1 has been anything but typical.

I’ve been speaking on everything from personal branding and storytelling with AI to Copilot training and AI-driven GTM planning.

Honestly, AI is exciting… and exhausting. Well, mostly exhausting. It adds so much stress to all of us. Ugh.

I’m constantly learning, testing, and teaching at the same time. Some days I feel ahead. Most days, I feel behind. (Haha.) But that’s the reality of working in AI right now—we’re all figuring it out as we go.

Copilot Tips and Tricks

1. Use Copilot as Your Enterprise Search Engine

Ask natural language questions to find files across OneDrive, SharePoint, and email
Example: “Find the Q4 sales deck shared with me last month”
Perfect when you don’t remember file names or locations

2. Turn Meetings into Action with Copilot in Teams

Turn on transcription + recording so Copilot captures everything
Ask questions in chat when multitasking: “What action items have we discussed?”
Generate instant recaps with decisions and next steps
Use “Summarize what I missed” to catch up quickly.

3. Prompt for Outcomes, Not Tasks (Especially in Excel)

Don’t say: “Summarize column D”
Say: “Help me identify what drove the change in Q4 sales”
Use structured tables and refine answers with follow-ups
