Impress Your Boss with AI.

Who it's for

Analysts, coordinators, project and program managers, team leads, and anyone whose week is reports, meetings, decks and email. Works with whichever AI your workplace allows: Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Every chapter ends with the two rules that keep this a career asset instead of a career risk: never send what you haven't read, and disclose when it matters.

What's inside: the ten workflows

1. The status report that gets readFive lines an executive finishes: what changed, what's at risk, what you need, next date, a rating with a reason.
2. Minutes in five minutesFrom raw notes or a transcript to decisions, actions with owners and dates, and the follow-up email, before the next meeting starts.
3. The deck outline before the deckTitles that state the point, one message per slide, speaker notes, and the ask. Then, and only then, PowerPoint.
4. Pre-reads and catch-upsSummaries of documents and meetings you didn't attend, with the five questions you should ask.
5. The project plan draftMilestones, dependencies and a realistic timeline from a one-paragraph description, ready to argue with.
6. Risk register and pre-mortemThe honest risks nobody wrote down, and the mitigation for each, in twenty minutes.
7. Data into a storyA spreadsheet into three findings, a chart suggestion and one recommendation, without a pivot table.
8. Writing for upEmails and proposals in the shape executives read: answer first, reasons second, detail attached.
9. The hard conversation, preparedPerformance reviews, pushing back on a deadline, asking for budget. Rehearse the objections before you're in the room.
10. Learning fastGetting up to speed on a new domain, system or vendor in a weekend, and sounding like you did your homework.
