Ever wondered how combining AI with a personality framework could reshape the way you work and view the world around you? You might be asking: can blending technology with self-awareness really improve communication, increase efficiency, and bring more balance and purpose to your daily life? Keep reading—we’re diving into exactly how this powerful combination can make a difference!

I had the incredible opportunity of being a guest speaker for the Sales and Marketing in Hospitality course at the University of South Florida, an experience that combined my passion for speaking, teaching, and building connections.

A few months back, I connected with an EO member in the hospitality industry who mentioned he was teaching this course. During our conversation, I shared my expertise in a communication psychology framework that simplifies personalities into four distinct styles, enhancing understanding, teamwork, and relationships.

We also discussed how this approach complements ChatGPT, showcasing how technology and human insight can work together for meaningful results. It’s important to emphasize that ChatGPT isn’t here to replace human interaction or jobs—it’s designed to enhance and support it. We discussed how we train and teach ChatGPT alongside these principles, showing where the real value lies when both tools work together. But also, it’s important to emphasize that ChatGPT isn’t here to replace human interaction or jobs—it’s designed to enhance and support it.

When he invited me to speak as part of a two-part guest series, I was thrilled. The best part? Hearing feedback from the students and seeing them realize how these tools can create real change in both their personal and professional lives. It’s not just about theory—it’s about providing practical tools they can apply immediately. Seeing how just three hours of focused learning can lead to tangible results is incredibly rewarding. I only wish these resources had been available during my college years—it’s amazing to see students gaining skills that will serve them for years to come. 

As you explore this series, you’ll find practical applications of the tools and strategies we shared, along with actionable tips to help you maximize AI tools, like ChatGPT, and the psychology-based personality framework we swear by.

As I embark on a journey of discovery through two significant realizations, I’ve come to appreciate the intersection of technology and self-awareness in ways that can truly transform how we approach both our personal and professional lives. Over the last few days, I had the opportunity to work closely with artificial intelligence (AI) and delve deeper into understanding my own personality through a simple yet enlightening exercise. The results were surprisingly powerful and have left a lasting impression on how I perceive myself and the world around me.

Day One Takeaways: The Power Behind Training ChatGPT

My first big takeaway was simple yet profound: AI can be incredibly useful if you know how to tailor it to your needs. 

On the first day, I worked hands-on with AI in a practical setting and realized that, while AI is a buzzword and promises a world of possibilities, its true value lies in how you choose to use it. AI isn’t some magical entity that can read your mind or automatically solve all your problems. Instead, it is a tool—a very powerful one, but like any tool, its effectiveness depends on how well you use it. 

As I worked with AI, the one thing that stood out was that it requires a level of specificity. The more precise and clear your input, the more accurate and helpful the output. For instance, when giving AI a broad or vague task, the results were often either off-mark or generic. However, when I took the time to apply one of the frameworks that I learned in class and prompted ChatGPT with clear, concise instructions and a well-defined goal, the results were both impressive and useful. 

This experience underscored the importance of understanding the technology you’re working with and being intentional about your approach. In many ways, AI mirrors human interaction. Much like people, AI responds better when given direct, actionable, and clear instructions. This led me to think about how I approach communication in other areas of my life. Am I always as clear with my colleagues, friends, or even myself? Am I vague in my goals, only to be disappointed when things don’t turn out as expected? 

What’s even more fascinating is how applicable this concept is across a range of industries. Whether you're working in education, marketing, healthcare, or even in creative fields, AI can enhance what you’re doing—but only if you know how to tailor it to your needs. As someone who enjoys structure, this realization was empowering. I began to see AI not as an intimidating tool but as an opportunity to become more efficient and organized, enhancing my abilities rather than replacing them.

Day Two Takeaways: Embracing My Personality Type

The second day brought another insightful takeaway: I am a gold personality. 

Now, you may be wondering what that means. The “gold personality” comes from personality framework assessments, which groups people into four color categories: gold, blue, green, and orange. Each color represents certain traits and characteristics that highlight how individuals approach their lives, relationships, and work. Gold personalities, in particular, are known for being practical, dependable, organized, and detail-oriented. We are often the ones who like structure, value responsibility, and thrive in environments where rules and expectations are clear. 

Upon learning that I am a gold personality, I couldn’t help but reflect on how accurate this description is. I’ve always been someone who enjoys creating plans, setting goals, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. I thrive in environments where I can bring order to chaos, where there is a sense of purpose and direction. 

However, this newfound awareness of my gold personality has also brought to light certain areas I can improve upon. Being a gold personality means that I may sometimes get too caught up in the details, which can prevent me from being flexible or spontaneous. It’s a reminder that while structure is good, there needs to be a balance. I need to leave room for creativity, for adaptability, and for the unexpected joys that come from life’s little surprises.

Bringing it Together: How AI and My Gold Personality Intersect 

What’s most fascinating about these two takeaways is how closely they align with one another. My realization that AI works best when tailored directly to my needs mirrors my personality’s love for organization and structure. As a gold personality, I’m naturally inclined to plan things out, to organize my life and work in a way that is methodical and efficient. This translates seamlessly into how I approach AI, or really, any tool or technology. 

I have discovered that being a gold personality allows me to see AI not as a threat, but as a partner that can help me bring more order and efficiency into my life. AI thrives when given structure, just like me. It is there to help make sense of the vast amount of data and information we deal with daily and to provide clarity when things seem overwhelming. 

At the same time, being aware of my gold personality also reminds me to be careful. While structure and responsibility are key, I must avoid becoming rigid. Just as AI requires flexibility and creativity in how we approach problems, so too must I remain open to new possibilities, even if they don’t fit neatly into my planned-out world. 

Ultimately, these two realizations have left me with a deep sense of appreciation for both technology and self-awareness. The key to success, whether it’s through using AI or understanding your personality, is balance. Embrace structure, but leave room for spontaneity. Leverage the power of AI, but don’t forget to infuse it with creativity and human touch. As I continue this journey, I am excited to see how these lessons will play out in my everyday life, making me not only more effective but also more self-aware.
