Tips from the Team: Copilot Prompting
Spotlight from Julie Morris, People Science Program Manager
Recently, a team member reached out to me after receiving a difficult email from a colleague. She wanted to know if her response sounded kind and professional. I suggested that she have Copilot take a look at it first. She was shocked at what a wonderful sounding board Copilot was and said it offered several suggestions for adjusting her tone resulting in a more productive outcome. Here's a prompt you can try for this kind of scenario:
Copilot, can you read this email and give me feedback on clarity, professionalism, and tone?
Happy prompting!
