Preparing Engaging Presentations

May, 2025

Meet Stacy

Stacy McDonnell, a dynamic sales professional focused on HR solutions, compensation strategy, and workforce transformation. Known for her strategic creativity and high-impact communication style, Stacy is constantly finding ways to connect with senior HR leaders in fresh, meaningful ways.

How “She Runs on AI”

When tasked with creating an engaging presentation for HR leaders at the USGA Museum, Stacy turned to ChatGPT to co-create a themed trivia game that connected golf history with compensation strategy. In just minutes, AI helped her draft fun, relevant questions, HR tie-ins, a PowerPoint slide deck, polling prompts, a music playlist, and even cheesy puns to liven up the event.

Her #1 AI Hack

Stacy’s secret weapon? Asking ChatGPT to build the presentation content while weaving in HR-specific messaging— then generating editable PowerPoint slides and printable handouts, all tailored to her audience. It saved hours of research and design time.

How AI Changed Her Routine

Before AI, planning for a session like this would’ve taken hours of manual brainstorming, writing, formatting, and creative concepting. With ChatGPT, Stacy was able to produce professional, audience-targeted materials in a fraction of the time—freeing her up to focus on strategic networking and event execution.

Bonus: She even completed this assignment while riding the SEPTA train to work—ChatGPT helped her do it in under five minutes.
