AI in Business: My Experience at the Global Coaching Summit in Maldives

You can’t get a better venue than the beautiful Maldives for delivering a keynote on “Generative AI” to a distinguished audience, including the former First Lady of Maldives and the Former Minister of State. The setting, overlooking the Hulhumale Jetty, was picture-perfect.

I had the pleasure of speaking at the Global Coaching and Speaking Summit 2024, organized by the Professional Coaching and Mentoring Association of the Maldives on the 7th July 2024 in Hulhumale, Maldives.

My session, “Next-Level Business Tools: Integrating ChatGPT and Copilot into Your Workflow,” was well-received. In my talk, I demonstrated how coaches and business leaders can leverage advanced techniques in ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to enhance their work. The session featured hands-on demos and real-time examples, with enthusiastic input from the audience. The event was a full house, attended by top corporate officials, entrepreneurs, and government staff from various islands across the Maldives. The audience were deeply engaged and appreciative of the practical tips and ideas presented.

Here are some notable feedbacks:

• Former First Lady, Madam Fazna Ahmed: “I was particularly inspired by Mr. Venkatarangan’s session and I made the first move by downloading the ChatGPT app.”
• Mr. Mohamed Shihab, Former Minister of State for Gender, Family and Social Service, and Chief Happiness Officer at the Happiness Club: “The 90 minutes listening to Mr. Venkatarangan just now was one of the most awesome learning moments in my life. Thank you for giving confidence that our life can be so much more beautiful and exciting with ChatGPT.”

Thank you to everyone who attended and made this event memorable!
