Put ChatGPT to work in your business
Running a small business means handling more than one job. If you already use ChatGPT for questions or drafts, this workshop will help you give it a clear assignment and guide it toward a finished result you can use.
Join ChatGPT Work for Small Business on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Eastern, live online or in person at COhatch Lakeland, 211 East Main Street, Lakeland, FL 33801.
Leave with something you can use
During a 90-minute guided workshop, we’ll turn two small, fictional donut-shop sales files into an organized workbook with a product summary and a plain-English owner brief. You’ll check a finding against its source, ask for one useful improvement, and save the finished file. No coding or spreadsheet-formula knowledge is needed.
- Give ChatGPT a clear business assignment.
- Turn sample files into a useful workbook, product summary, and owner brief.
- Check figures and claims against the original sources and recognize missing information.
- Request a focused improvement, reopen the result, and save your finished work.
- Write a reusable work order for a task in your own business and choose one step to try within 48 hours.
