The Sharp Leader

Small tasks can quietly eat 8 hours of your week. That’s a day. Routine enquiries, meeting notes, follow-ups, reading reports, drafting updates. None of it is hard. All of it adds up.

The Sharp Leader is a 6-lesson online course for CEOs, owners and board directors. It shows you how to hand that work to AI, safely, using the tools you already have: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Microsoft Copilot.

What you’ll be able to do

• Find where your hours go in a 15-minute audit, then fix the biggest drain first
• Brief AI like a capable chief of staff, so you stop explaining yourself every time
• Turn reports, board papers and meetings into one-page briefs and clear minutes
• Ask your own notes questions and get answers with sources
• Bring AI into your organisation with a simple one-page policy your board will understand

The lessons

The Basics

• Lesson 1: Delegate, Don’t Google. Stop typing questions into a search box. Start briefing AI like a chief of staff, with one formula you’ll use in every lesson.
• Lesson 2: Find Your Eight Hours. A 15-minute audit of the last two weeks. You finish with your top three time drains and a clear first target.
• Lesson 3: Build Your Right Hand. Set up an assistant that knows your voice, your business and your priorities, and set the safety rules once.

And Beyond

• Lesson 4: Decide on One Page. Reports and board papers become one-page briefs. Meetings become minutes with decisions, owners and dates. AI argues against your decision before you make it.
• Lesson 5: Ask Your Own Notes. Build a simple second brain in OneNote, Google Docs or Notion, then ask it questions.
• Lesson 6: Lead the Rollout. The four board questions, a one-page AI use policy, getting staff on board, one quick win, and measuring the return.

What’s in every lesson

• 3 to 4 short videos, each 5 to 12 minutes
• Notes: a 2 to 3 page summary
• A worksheet you fill in and can save as a PDF
• 8 to 10 copy-paste prompts that work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot
• A “Do this in your tool” card with setup steps for each assistant

What you’ll need

• One AI assistant. A free plan is fine for lessons 1 and 2. A paid plan (about A$30 a month) is recommended for lessons 3 to 5.
• Your existing email, calendar and documents (Microsoft 365 or Google)
• Your existing meeting transcription (Zoom, Teams or Meet)
• A place for notes (OneNote, Google Docs or Notion)

No new software to buy or learn. If your workplace only allows Copilot, the whole course works in Copilot.
