SUMMARY:AI & YOUR PERSONAL BRAND
DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				You know that feeling when everyone’s talking about AI\, and you’re nodding along like you get it\, but secretly you’re thinking\, “Am I already behind?” \nYeah. We’ve all been there. \nHere’s the thing: you don’t need another tutorial on “how to write a ChatGPT prompt.” You don’t need someone explaining what tokens are or why Claude is different from Gemini. You need to understand how to actually use AI to get what you want—clear thinking\, better positioning\, doors that open. \nAnd that’s exactly what we’re doing together. \nI’m Susan Hearn\, and I’ve spent 30+ years helping executives and creatives turn their expertise into strategic advantage. I’ve worked with everyone from Fortune 500 brands to independent producers—teaching people how to use AI without the overwhelm\, the jargon\, or the feeling like you need a computer science degree to keep up. \nThis isn’t a lecture. It’s not a webinar where you’re frantically taking notes while someone talks at you. We’re working. On your actual positioning. Your LinkedIn. Your professional presence. The stuff that opens doors in this industry. \nWe’re building four things together\, in real time: \nYour Strategic Capability Map: What you actually bring to the table\, translated into language that gets you into the rooms you want to be in. Not job descriptions. Not buzzwords. Real positioning. \nYour Industry Positioning: Where you fit in the current entertainment landscape\, and more importantly\, where the opportunities are actually moving. Because what worked five years ago? Not what’s working now. \nYour Strategic About Section: LinkedIn copy that positions you for the conversations you want to be having. With producers. With buyers. With collaborators. Not recruiters. Not randos. The people who matter. \nYour Professional Banner: Visual presence that signals “industry professional” before anyone even reads a word. Because in Hollywood\, presentation isn’t vanity. It’s currency. \nBring your laptop. Your CV\, resume\, writing samples\, YouTube links—whatever shows what you’ve built. We’re turning all of that into positioning that actually opens doors. \nWe’re not talking about AI. \nWe’re using it. \nReserve your spot. \nSee you there! \n			\n				RSVP HERE
