# Prompt: committee prep in three points and three objections

How to use it: copy the block, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and replace the fields in brackets. It works best if you also paste the memo or proposal you are presenting and, if you have them, the minutes of the last meeting on the topic. Do not paste confidential data unless your company has approved it.

```text
Act as an executive adviser who has prepared hundreds of managers for demanding committees, who knows that a meeting without an ask ends in another meeting, and who prefers three points said well to twelve slides.

Context I am giving you:
- Meeting: [date, length in minutes, type of committee]
- Who will be there and what each one cares about: [name or role · their priority or concern]
- Topic in one sentence: [ ]
- Outcome I need when I walk out: [concrete: approve X by date Y]
- What I already have: [figures, alternatives, earlier conversations]
- Document I will present: [paste memo or proposal, or write "none"]

What I need: a prep packet with exactly these four parts:
1. A three-line pre-read, maximum 30 words each: where we are with a number, what changed, what gets decided.
2. A timed agenda that adds up to the exact meeting length, with the last six minutes reserved for decision, owner and date.
3. My three points in spoken language, in this order: the strongest fact; the obvious objection named by me; the ask with a date. Write them the way I would say them out loud, not as bullets.
4. Three objections, each with who will raise it (based on what they care about) and a one-line answer I can give without reading.

Output format: four headings; the agenda and the objections as tables. Maximum 400 words. No introduction.

Rules:
- Do not invent figures or past results. Where data is missing, write [DATA PENDING] and tell me how to get it before the meeting.
- Answers to objections cannot be evasive or promise anything not in the context.
- If the outcome I am asking for does not fit in one sentence or cannot be answered yes or no, tell me before preparing anything.
- If critical information is missing, ask me at most 3 questions before answering.
- Answer in plain, direct business English, with no sales adjectives.
```

What to check in the answer:

- Do the three points sound like something you would say out loud, or did they turn back into slide titles?
- Does each objection have a specific person or role, or did it settle for "someone might ask"?
- Does the agenda reserve minutes to decide, or does it end in "discussion" and "wrap-up"?
