Advanced Copilot Presentation Course Online (£499)

Most senior professionals who reach the boardroom have already tried Copilot. They have asked it to draft an executive summary, build a slide outline, or rewrite a section that reads as too dense. The output usually arrives in under a minute. The problem is what arrives next: 30 minutes of rewriting to make it sound like a senior leader, not a confident generalist.

Why basic Copilot use stops working at executive level

Beginner prompts produce beginner output. “Make this slide more executive” or “summarise this for the board” returns content that reads as polished but generic — the kind of paragraph that could appear in any company’s annual report. It says nothing wrong, and nothing memorable. At senior level, that is the wrong tradeoff.

Advanced Copilot work for executive presentations is a different practice. It is prompt engineering combined with structural decisions: knowing which prompts produce drafts you can edit in 5 minutes versus drafts that need rebuilding from scratch; understanding when to ask Copilot to argue against itself; and recognising the moments when AI assistance actively makes a deck worse, not better. None of this is on the Copilot help page. It is the editorial judgement that turns AI from a drafting tool into a presentation partner.

The pattern that wastes Copilot time at senior level

The same five patterns recur with senior professionals using Copilot for presentation work. None of them are tool problems. They are workflow problems.

• Single-shot prompting. One prompt, one draft, then 40 minutes of editing. Advanced workflow uses chained prompts — structure first, then evidence, then language — so each pass produces a sharper input for the next.
• No persona priming. Asking for “an executive summary” without telling Copilot the audience, the decision in front of them, and the objections you expect produces generic output by design. The persona context has to come first.
• Treating drafts as final. Senior presenters skim Copilot output for accuracy, then ship it. Advanced practice is to read the draft for tone, decision logic, and what is missing — the things AI cannot self-audit.
• Using AI for the wrong layer. Copilot is strong at drafting prose, sequencing options, and generating alternatives. It is weak at deciding which message lands with this specific board, on this specific day. Knowing where the line sits is most of the skill.
• No prompt library. Senior professionals re-invent prompts every time. A working prompt library — reusable prompts for openings, executive summaries, Q&A preparation, objection drafts — cuts hours per week and produces more consistent output.

What AI-Enhanced Presentation Mastery covers

The course is a self-paced framework for senior professionals who already use AI (Copilot, ChatGPT, or both) and want output that works at executive level — not just polished, but structurally sound and editorially defensible.

• 8 modules and 83 lessons of self-paced content covering prompt engineering, workflow patterns, and the editorial judgement that separates good output from usable output.
• 2 optional live coaching sessions with Mary Beth, fully recorded so participants can watch back anytime. No mandatory live attendance.
• No deadlines, no fixed schedule. Self-paced — work through modules in the order and pace that suits your calendar.
• Monthly cohort enrolment. A new cohort opens every month, so you can join the next available enrolment whenever you decide.
• Lifetime access to all course materials and recorded coaching sessions.
• £499 single payment. Hosted on Maven (maven.com/winning-presentations).

Is this right for you?

AI-Enhanced Presentation Mastery is built for senior professionals who already use Copilot, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant for presentation work and recognise the gap between what AI produces and what an executive audience accepts. It is most useful for presenters who are spending more time editing AI drafts than the drafts saved them, or for those who want to move from one-off prompts to a repeatable system across board pre-reads, capex pitches, quarterly reviews, and strategic proposals.

It is not the right fit for presenters with no prior AI experience (a Copilot beginner’s programme would be a better entry point), for anyone looking for a live structured 4-week programme with mandatory attendance, or for buyers expecting AI to write finished presentations without editorial review. The course teaches advanced workflow — not autopilot.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a live four-week programme?

No. AI-Enhanced Presentation Mastery is self-paced. The 8 modules and 83 lessons can be worked through in any order and at any pace that suits your calendar. Two optional live coaching sessions are scheduled when each cohort runs, but they are fully recorded — participants can watch back at any time. There is no mandatory live attendance and no fixed weekly structure.

What does “monthly cohort enrolment” mean?

A new cohort opens every month on Maven. The cohort refers to the enrolment batch — not a live structured group programme. When you enrol, you start with the next available cohort. There are no deadlines, and you keep lifetime access to the materials regardless of which cohort you joined with.

Will I get one-on-one coaching with Mary Beth?

No. The 2 optional coaching sessions (when present) are group format, not 1:1. The course is structured around self-paced learning supplemented by group coaching that is recorded for later viewing. Private 1:1 coaching is a separate service available outside the course.

Do I need prior Copilot experience?

Yes — the course is built for senior professionals who already use Copilot, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant and want to move from basic prompting to advanced workflow. Complete beginners would benefit more from a Copilot starter resource before joining this course. The lessons assume comfort with at least asking AI for a draft and reading what it returns.

Will AI write my presentation for me after this course?

No. The course teaches advanced workflow for using AI as a drafting and structuring partner — not as an autonomous presentation builder. Senior-level output still requires editorial review, structural decisions, and the judgement about what to leave out. The course makes the workflow faster and the output sharper; it does not remove the presenter from the loop.

Is this the same as the Executive Prompt Pack (£19.99)?

No. The Executive Prompt Pack (£19.99, hosted on Gumroad) is a 71-prompt swipe file for ChatGPT and Copilot — copy-paste ready prompts for common presentation tasks. AI-Enhanced Presentation Mastery (£499, hosted on Maven) is a structured course covering the broader framework: prompt engineering, workflow patterns, editorial judgement, and integration into senior presentation work. Many participants use both: the prompt pack as a tactical library, the course as the structural framework.

What is the refund policy?

Maven’s standard refund policy applies. Refund details are shown at checkout on the Maven enrolment page.
