Précis Prompt

Step 1: Copy the Prompt

Copy everything in the box below and paste it into ChatGPT (or any AI tool you use).

Step 2: Fill in Your Details

Replace the text inside the [brackets] with your own Topic, Goal, Barriers, Agenda, and Telos.
Keep them short and clear — this will make your PRÉCIS strong and focused.

Step 3: Review and Edit

When the AI gives you back a response:

Read it out loud — does it sound like you?
Make sure the Goal is about the work, not just the meeting.
Make sure the Telos starts with To assure… or To help them decide…
Tweak wording if needed until it’s crisp and under 150 words.

Write a PRÉCIS for my presentation using this structure:

TOPIC: [Insert what the presentation is about in 6–8 words]
GOAL: [Insert the business goal of the topic itself — not the meeting goal. State what the work is trying to accomplish.]
BARRIERS: [List 1–2 obstacles making it harder to reach the goal.]
AGENDA: [List 3 bullets or phrases for what you’ll cover — max 8 words each.]
TELOS: [Finish with one sentence starting with To assure… or To help them decide… that clearly states your presentation’s purpose.]

Write the PRÉCIS back to me as the first thing I will say when I start presenting.
Use short, clear sentences that sound natural out loud.
Keep it under 150 words.
Professional, confident tone that would resonate with an executive audience.
Write as a single short speech, not as a bullet list.
