3 ChatGPT Prompts to be a more memorable, clear speaker

I remember when the pandemic hit five years ago, many speakers were blindsided.

They were used to commanding a room, working a stage, and connecting face-to-face — but suddenly, everything moved online. And those who hadn’t taken time to familiarize themselves with virtual platforms, lighting, and engagement tools had to scramble to catch up.

It was a wake-up call for a lot of speakers. Some professional speakers even ended up closing their businesses sadly.

And right now, AI is having a similar moment.

No, it won’t replace great speakers or personal coaching — but it is becoming a valuable asset for speakers who want to stay sharp, creative, and efficient.

The speakers who take time to learn how to thoughtfully use tools like ChatGPT now will be better equipped to brainstorm faster and prep smarter.

And those who don’t? Well… we’ve seen how that story goes.

I don’t want you to get caught off guard! If you aren’t using ChatGPT yet, this blog post is your encouragement to dip your toes in the water.

Here are three prompts that make you a more memorable speaker and support your audience’s understanding of your message:

1. Give me a fun pop culture reference I can use to explain what [terminology/jargon] means to a non-expert audience.
2. I want to ensure my audience does not forget this important [idea, concept, message]. Give me 3 different ways to say this that still communicates the same meaning.
3. If I was an audience member not familiar with [your topic], what could the speaker do that would confuse me? (this prompt tells you what NOT to do when preparing your speech)

To get started, go to chat.openai.com.
