Techniques to Write Smarter, Faster, and More Effectively with AI Tools.
In this program, we will explore how AI can help you write faster.
AI provides us with a superhuman ability to overcome writer’s block, make our sentences smoother, check for consistency, test our logic, and spot ambiguity. However, due to the specialized nature of business communication, when we use AI ineffectively, it will have the reverse outcome—making our writing slower.
During this session, we will comb through the prompting techniques (i.e., the instructions you give to AI) that will ensure you are harnessing AI’s power in a way that speeds up your writing rather than holds it back. A prime example of when AI can slow you down is when you ask it to make a document more concise (such as a letter to clients or slides for a presentation). This request for brevity often backfires because AI tends to strip away the subtlety that was important to you but undetectable to “the robot.”
By attending this program, you will acquire tools to accelerate your writing, without having to adjust your natural style.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
Very informative presentation. Great work on the slides and transitions. The pace was a bit slow for me so the option to speed up the presentation was helpful. Only issue I had was with breaks/pauses in the recording. Didn't seem to be an Internet issue.
Good material, well presented. However, it was way above my level of use of AI.
