For businesses today, the Platformed Workforce is the “Secret Sauce” for getting things done.
Over 800 digital talent platforms provide access to services offered by an estimated 500 million highly skilled freelance professionals.
Managers hire talent under the radar, rather than navigate their organizations’ complex and time-consuming talent acquisition processes.
Today’s and tomorrow's organizations are run by people — and, increasingly, skills acquired or contracted through digital talent platforms. This opens up the entire world for talent that can be brought in, for targeted projects, from anywhere across the globe.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...so Glad I signed up for this AI Training Program. Winton & Evan: you guys are great & Thanks to the whole Barefoot Consultants Team !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep the sessions coming! They always have general value, but they are also always have gems in them. Thank you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AI is great to write opening paragraph on most any subject...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Session on resume update and using info from Upwork profile (was great!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I appreciate the review of AI to assist with Upwork job search and profile...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love the content, conversational tone, other participant questions and comments. Time of the seminar worked extremely well for me today--much appreciated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Providing sample prompts to try in AI - very helpful as a starting point & go from there!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most important thing about the class at the beginning was getting over the fear that AI was over my head to understand and use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I knew nothing about AI before I started this course, I have learned a lot! Sooo everything you have covered so far has been beneficial. Your modules have opened my eyes to the possibilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've taken your curiosity and made a valuable resource for me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surprise--finding out that AI could take my body of work and generate a document in my "voice." ...it's something I didn't think was possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A good way to learn AI
The AI Membership series is a fun and easy way to learn and use AI. The video courses led by Winton and Evan are entertaining and easy to understand.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are able to go through the videos at your own pace. Whatever the topic, the AI prompts used, are straight forward and easy to use. The prompts used in the video course are available to download when the video is available.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Once a month there is a Zoom call for Q&A about the recently released videos. This is a good way to keep up to date with new technology.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super helpful prompts! Do you have similar prompts for use with the profile on UpWork?
