Advisors don’t win by having the best prompts—they win by having the best presence. Learn how to leverage AI to boost productivity without outsourcing the human skills that create trust and momentum with clients and establish practical guardrails that keep AI as a tool—not a crutch—so your listening, memory, and judgment get sharper, not softer.
