Ask Better Questions, Get Better Wins: Dr. Barbara H. Smith on AI for Everyday People Ep.172
Coach SandyB interviews Dr. Barbara H. Smith, IT veteran, executive coach, and founder of BHS & Associates, on using AI as an everyday advantage.
From a tough COVID setback to winning government training contracts, Dr. Smith shares how asking better questions leads to better outcomes (“garbage in, garbage out”).
She breaks down AI for non-techies, explains which jobs are at risk (repetitive tasks) and which become more valuable, and offers a confidence framework rooted in stillness, belief, and community support.
You’ll learn practical ways to use AI for proposals, performance reviews, presentations, and content, while keeping your authentic voice.
Plus: details on her Sisters Inspire Sisters to Advance event and current AI trainings.
Key Takeaways:
- AI levels the playing field, if you learn to ask precise prompts.
- Repetitive tasks will automate; strategic, human-centered work rises in value.
- Stillness → clarity → speed: slow down to aim, then execute.
- Don’t copy/paste outputs; co-create and edit for authenticity.
- Use AI to plan, draft, and improve presentations and appraisals.
- Community (masterminds) accelerates learning and resilience.
