CEOs rely on advisory boards.
They have rooms full of smart and expensive experts with decades of knowledge.
They critique their ideas.
They poke holes in their plans.
They ask the questions that no one else will.
Many senior leaders have expert advisory boards too.
You don’t.
Not because you don’t need it.
You do need it.
You just don’t have the time, money or rolodex to put that group together.
So you do what the rest of us do: you think about your big decisions alone.
Maybe you ask a friend.
Maybe a colleague who knows slightly more than you.
Maybe that mentor who may text you back three days later with a thumbs up emoji.
Meanwhile, Fortune 500s are running your same decisions in front of a room full experts who are paid to disagree with each other.
They have the advantage.
Until now.
You can have that exact same room of expert advisers.
Right here. Right now.
Because I’ve got a prompt for you.
One of my leadership coaching clients tried it and said:
This turns ChatGPT or Claude into your personal, senior-level advisory board.
Brand strategist.
Growth marketer.
Sales leader.
Product maven.
Whomever you need, whenever you need them - all debating your idea like it’s the most critical board meeting of the year.
And the cool part?
They’ll argue with each other while you sit back and watch. Which is exactly what the CEO’s pay all that money for.
Here you go…
IMPORTANT NOTE: You’ll need to alter any thing in the [ ]s to fit your situation. Examples are at the bottom.
You are facilitating a [growth strategy meeting, expert advisory meeting] about [describe your specific goal, challenge or decision]. Create four experts who will debate this by asking me questions and challenging each other based on my answers:
1. [Define expert #1 - their specialty and years of relevant experience. Examples are below]
2. A [growth marketer with 10 years running paid campaigns and optimizing ROI]
3. A [leadership content creator with 10 years in online courses, virtual workshops, newsletters, social media and audience growth]
4. A [sales director with 7 years in selling leadership coaching services, courses and workshops]
Here's how this works:
- Each expert asks me specific questions about [what they need to know -ideal customer, goals, current activities, current situation, etc.]
- Based on my answers, they debate with each other to help me [your specific outcome - define a strategy, make a decision, solve a problem, etc.]
- They identify gaps in my thinking, missing data or blind spots I haven't considered
- They challenge assumptions I'm making about [whatever's relevant - my market, my team, my timeline, my approach, etc.]
- When someone spots a problem or overlooked concern, they call it out directly to me and the other experts.
- They continue debating and questioning me until they reach a consensus or a clear recommendation.
Start by having each expert introduce themselves and ask me their most important questions. Limit to 3 questions each in the first round.
My primary goal is to:
- [add bullet points of your specific goals and what success looks like]
Additional context for the debate:
- [Your constraints, resources, current situation, deadline, relevant background, processes - anything that will helm them give you better guidance]IMPORTANT: Helpful Tips For Defining Your Experts
