SUMMARY:AI Foundations: Building Custom GPTs That Actually Work for You
DESCRIPTION:AI Foundations: Building Custom GPTs That Actually Work for You\n\nOctober 23 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00pm\n\n\n\n\nLed by Empressa Imperial Council Member Dr. Tina Flores\, this session explores what it takes to move beyond general-purpose AI and build a custom GPT that works for your business\, your standards\, and your way of working. \n \nWith more than two decades of experience in talent and workforce strategy\, Dr. Tina Flores builds systems that turn ambition into architecture and ideas into repeatable outcomes. \nShe holds a doctorate in business\, has authored two books on building and optimizing great teams and leading through technological modernization\, and serves on boards helping shape the future of the field \nDr. T doesn’t just  use AI—she builds it. She has developed proprietary frameworks\, including the Dual Dynamics Hiring Model\, EI/AI Nexus\, and Verified Capability Model. She also independently designed and deployed the Authentically Intelligent Recruitment Agent\, a zero-trust recruitment system built to executive standards\, taking it from concept to working tool. \n\n\nHer approach is grounded in evidence and driven by a belief that technology should work for people\, not the other way around. \nMost leaders are using a general-purpose chatbot and wondering why it doesn’t feel like the game-changer they were promised. A tool that knows nothing about your voice\, your standards\, or your team can only give you generic results. The difference isn’t just in the model—it’s in what you teach it. \nIn this hands-on session\, you will explore how to turn your expertise\, standards\, and judgment into a custom GPT that supports real work. Together\, you will follow a live build from a b \nlank screen\, using a task that takes time out of your week—such as rewriting client emails\, drafting proposals\, or creating content—to see how a GPT can be designed to handle it your way. \n  \nGPT Anatomy: Learn the four things you need to teach a custom GPT\, what to skip\, and how those choices shape its responses. \nLive Build: Watch a custom GPT come together step by step\, with a clear process you can repeat after the session. \nStarter Framework: U \nse a one-page framework to make your first GPT a fill-in-the-blank exercise rather than a blank page. \nPractical AI Judgment: Identify where AI earns its keep—and where it quietly wastes yourtime. \nYou will leave with more than notes. You will leave with a practical starter framework\, a clear understanding of how a custom GPT is built\, and the confidence to begin creating one for your own work. Facts\, not hype. Systems\, not gimmicks. \nCertification\nAll participants who complete the workshop will receive the Empressa Certification Building Custom GPTs That Actually Work for You recognizing their foundational understanding of custom GPT design\, practical AI workflows\, and translating business expertise into tailored AI instructions. \n🎟 Registration Details\n\nComplimentary for all Imperial Council Members\n$50 accessible fee for non-members\n\nImportant Notes\nThis workshop is intentionally live and interactive to create a focused\, high-impact experience. Participants are encouraged to attend the full 60-minute session to gain the complete strategic framework\, participate in the conversation\, and get the most from the experience. \nAttendance is limited to registered participants\, and complimentary access is non-transferable. \nRSVP \n\nShare this:\nFacebookWhatsAppPinterestLinkedInXCopy Link\n\n\n\n\n\nAdd to calendar\n\n\n\n\nShare this:

SUMMARY:AI Foundations: Building a Future-Ready Brand
DESCRIPTION:AI Foundations: Building a Future-Ready Brand\n\nOctober 9 @ 10:00 am – 11:00am\n\n\n\n\n\nLed by Empressa Imperial Council Member Vika\, this session explores what it takes to build a brand narrative that does more than sound good—it holds up in the market. \n \nWith more than eight years of international experience in marketing and branding across Asia and Europe\, Vika is a brand strategist and serial entrepreneur. As the founder of VEYRA\, a brand strategy consultancy grounded in the belief that vision meets voice\, she helps CEOs\, founders\, and marketing teams move from competitive audits to strategic brand stories that are clear\, credible\, differentiated\, and built for real-world impact. \nVika also developed the foundational social media brand strategy for Empressa\, helping shape how the organization communicates its mission\, presence\, and voice across digital platforms. \nMost brands don’t have a content problem. They have a clarity problem\, which shows up as inconsistent posts\, a voice that shifts depending on who’s writing\, and a feed that looks busy but says nothing. In this hands-on session\, you will work through three steps pulled straight from VEYRA’s brand strategy process\, the same framework used with real clients\, to determine who your brand actually is and what it should be posting\, and why. \n\nMindsplash: Strip away the noise and get to what your brand actually believes\, knows\, and sounds like. Pen\, paper\, no overthinking.\nEngagement Categories: Turn that raw identity into a simple\, intentional content system so every post has a reason to exist.\nInstagram Wall: Watch it become real: a visual grid of posts you can actually look at\, built live using AI.\n\nYou will leave with more than notes. You will leave with the start of your own brand’s content system\, and a clearer answer to “what do I even post?”\nCertification\nAll participants who complete the workshop will receive the Empressa Certification: Building a Future-Ready Brand\, recognizing their foundational understanding of strategic brand positioning\, market insight\, and brand narrative development. \n🎟 Registration Details\n\nComplimentary for all Imperial Council Members\n$50 accessible fee for non-members\n\nImportant Notes\nThis workshop is intentionally live and interactive to create a focused\, high-impact experience. Participants are encouraged to attend the full 60-minute session to gain the complete strategic framework\, participate in the conversation\, and get the most from the experience. \nAttendance is limited to registered participants\, and complimentary access is non-transferable. \nRSVP \n\nShare this:\nFacebookWhatsAppPinterestLinkedInXCopy Link\n\n\n\n\n\nAdd to calendar\n\n\n\n\nShare this:

SUMMARY:AI Foundations: AI Systems for Creators & Professionals
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome DeAnna Sposiito as the featured facilitator for our upcoming workshop\, AI Foundatios: AI Systems for Creators & Professionals. \nThis live virtual workshop is designed for creators and professionals who are ready to move beyond using AI one prompt at a time and begin building practical\, repeatable systems that support their real work. \nIn AI Systems for Creators & Professionals\, DeAnna will introduce a simple framework for turning scattered AI use into a personal AI operating system. Participants will explore how to identify the work AI should support\, define clear roles and workflows\, provide the right context\, and create systems that become more useful over time. \nAI systems work best when they have a clear purpose\, structured instructions\, relevant context\, and defined tools or actions. Through a real-world demonstration\, attendees will see an AI agent system in action and learn how these elements can be applied to recurring tasks such as content creation\, client communication\, planning\, research\, and administrative \nParticipants will leave with: \n\nA practical framework for thinking about AI as a system\, not just a collection of prompts\nA template for designing their own personal AI operating system\nReady-to-use prompts for turning recurring work into repeatable AI workflows\nGreater clarity on how to make AI a consistent\, intentional part of their professional grow\n\nCertification: \nAll participants who complete the workshop will receive the Empressa Certification: AI Foundations—AI Systems for Creators & Professionals\, recognizing their participation in a practical\, systems-focused AI learning experience centered on workflow design\, AI integration\, and repeatable professional systems. \nRegistration Details: \nComplimentary for all Imperial Council Members \n$50 accessible fee for non-members \nThis workshop is designed as a live\, interactive experience. Participants are encouraged to attend the full session to follow the demonstration\, apply the framework\, and begin mapping their own AI system. \nAttendance is limited to registered participants\, and complimentary access is non-transferable. \nRegister Here\nShare this:
