Tell me what you need a prompt for. I will coach you through 4 questions, then build your prompt ready to copy and paste into any LLM.
WHO
WHAT
WHY
HOW
EXAMPLE
QUESTIONS
ADDITIONS
WHO
Tell AI who the audience is. Their role, education level, what they already know, what they resist. The more specific you are about WHO, the more targeted the output.
Example"Write this for a 52-year-old VP of Operations who is skeptical of AI, has zero technical background, and needs to feel in control, not replaced. No jargon."
WHAT
Define the deliverable. What does success look like when you are done? Be specific. A vague WHAT produces a vague result every time.
Example"Write a one-page executive summary showing ROI on AI training. Highlight 3 specific metrics. Include a recommendation section."
WHY
Give AI the context and backstory. What problem exists? What has been tried? What failed? Context is the difference between generic and great.
Example"We rolled out two AI tools and adoption failed both times because the team did not trust it. We need to shift the narrative from threat to tool."
HOW
Specify the format. Email, slide deck, short bullets, long narrative? Casual or formal? Format shapes everything about how the output lands.
Example"Give me 5 punchy bullet points for a Slack message. Under 120 words. Conversational. No headers. End with a clear call to action."
EXAMPLE
Show AI what good looks like. Paste a sample in the style you want. This step alone 10x your output quality.
Example"Write it similar to this: [paste your reference]. Match the energy and directness. Not the exact words."
QUESTIONS
Before AI starts, have it ask you clarifying questions. The single most underused step. Cuts editing time in half.
Example"Before you begin, ask me any questions you need to produce the best possible output. Do not assume anything."
ADDITIONS
Layer in your rules and guardrails. What must AI never do? What must it always include? These protect your voice and brand.
Example"Never use corporate buzzwords. Do not mention competitors. Always end with a human moment. Sound like a person, not a press release."

HIVE FRAMEWORKS
Tap any framework to expand it.
AMPLIFY, NOT AUTOMATE
Core
The foundational HIVE philosophy.
"We focus on real, human-centered AI training where we guide teams on how to truly control AI in their operations for maximum effectiveness."
Mitch Mitchem
AI is the engine. Powerful, but useless on its own. You, the human, are the driver. You give it direction and purpose. Without you, the system goes nowhere.
AI can scale your outreach. It cannot scale your trust.
THE 3 TRUTHS
Mindset
Knowledge. Wisdom. Action.
"When the value of knowledge is reduced to near zero, what is the value of wisdom?"
Mitch Mitchem
Truth 1: The cost of knowledge is now ZERO. Anyone can access information instantly. That used to be your edge. It is not anymore.
Truth 2: What we need most is WISDOM. Knowing facts is table stakes. Knowing what to do with them is everything.
Truth 3: Action is the only metric that matters. Before you ship any AI output, ask: Can this help me take action? If no, it is noise.
HUMAN SKILLS FRAMEWORK
People
What AI cannot replicate. What you must protect.
"Humans have lost so much, our ability to communicate, to build community at work and in life. AI just revealed that to us."
Mitch Mitchem
🎯
Goal Setting
Without a clear goal, AI produces noise. Nothing moves until you name the target.
🤝
Accountability
AI does not own outcomes. You do. The human in the loop is always responsible.
💬
Communication
AI can draft your message. It cannot deliver it with the authenticity that changes minds.
🧠
Critical Thinking
AI produces. Humans evaluate. Knowing when to push back is judgment. It cannot be prompted.
🔗
Relationship Building
Trust is built between humans. AI can support your relationships. It cannot create them.
🎭
Adaptability
The advantage is not mastering one tool. It is being the person who can master the next one.
THE GRANDFATHER TEST
Clarity
The simplest quality check you will ever use.
"If your grandfather cannot understand it, your audience probably cannot either."
Mitch Mitchem
Before you ship any AI output, read it out loud. Would a sharp 75-year-old with no jargon understand exactly what it says and what it is asking them to do?
Clarity is the highest form of intelligence. Complexity is usually just insecurity.
WHAT GAME ARE YOU PLAYING?
Strategy
The BlackBerry question every leader must answer.
"Just because we CAN do it does not mean we SHOULD. But could it make that life easier and better? Absolutely."
Mitch Mitchem
In 2007, BlackBerry held 50% of the smartphone market. Apple had 3 to 5%. BlackBerry kept winning the old game. Apple was building the new one. We know how that ended.
Which game are you playing?
THE SUCCESS CYCLE
Process
How HIVE drives 97% implementation success.
"We are not an AI consultant. We are friction elimination specialists. We eliminate the human barriers BEFORE implementation."
Mitch Mitchem
Step 1: Find the Friction. It is almost never the technology.
Step 2: Leverage Human Skills. Your team expertise filters everything AI produces.
Step 3: Let the Wise Be Wise. Expert plus AI triples results over AI alone.
Step 4: Measure What Moves. HIVE guarantees measurable ROI within 90 days.
BUST THE MYTHS
7 of the most common AI myths and the truth behind each one.
X
My competitors can see what I put into AI
Your inputs are private. Enterprise AI tools are built with security and data separation. Your prompts do not train the model and are not visible to anyone else.
X
AI will replace all jobs
AI replaces tasks, not people who adapt. MIT-BCG found companies adopting AI successfully often create more roles than they eliminate. The jobs at risk are ones where humans were not adding judgment, creativity, or trust.

X
Using AI is cheating
A calculator did not make math cheating. AI is a tool. Your judgment is what makes the output worth anything. Without you directing it with intention, the output is average at best.
X
AI will make me less intelligent
The real risk is overconfidence. Research shows 72% of AI users feel more confident than their actual competence warrants. Use AI to think harder, not to confirm what you already believe.
X
LLMs are impossible to secure
Enterprise AI tools include role-based access, compliance controls, and data governance. Secure deployment is achievable. It requires intentional setup, not avoidance.
X
AI automatically boosts productivity for everyone
A 2025 meta-analysis across 83 studies found AI productivity gains are highly context-dependent. The 6% trained correctly are 3x more likely to exceed their goals. The tool alone does nothing.

AI is only for big companies with big budgets
Cloud-based AI is available to any individual or small team for under $30 per month. A 10-person company with a trained team can outpace a 1,000-person company still debating whether to try it.
