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 URL:https://greenlightwomen.org/event/ai-brand/ LOCATION:ZOOM ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://greenlightwomen.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Web-GLW-Personal-Brand-Workshop.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251118T173000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251118T190000 DTSTAMP:20260418T174211 CREATED:20251111T010329Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251209T032948Z UID:1310-1763487000-1763492400@greenlightwomen.org SUMMARY:AI: From Threat to Tool - Discover Creative Ways to Use AI DESCRIPTION:Prompting techniques that unlock originality and save time\nSpark ideas and strengthen stories\nGet AI to think like you\nUse AI as a creative partner\, not a replacement\nEthical ways to use AI in writing\, design\, and production\nA curated list of AI tools\n\nBrought to you by:  LINDA ARROZ\, Author\, Public Relations\, AI Prompting Coach\, CO-CHAIR MEMBERSHIP\, CONNECTIONS COMMITTEE URL:https://greenlightwomen.org/event/ai-tool/ LOCATION:Online – ZOOM ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://greenlightwomen.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/AI-3-web.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251218T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251218T210000 DTSTAMP:20260418T174211 CREATED:20251207T232610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251207T232637Z UID:1320-1766080800-1766091600@greenlightwomen.org SUMMARY:Holiday Celebration + Annual Membership Drive DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE URL:https://greenlightwomen.org/event/holiday2025/ LOCATION:Cara Hotel\, 1730 N.
