A good opening speech for a training class can immediately focus attention and quickly shift the role of trainees to learning. It can also quickly clarify the relationship between training and organizational goals, ensuring that everyone can learn in a dedicated, targeted, and end-to-end manner.
This issue shares human resources prompts - the opening speech of a training class. Through the prompts, we can direct the big model and quickly produce a high-quality opening speech for us.
The structure of the prompt word is:
Who are you?
What are you going to do (task and specific requirements of the task, the specific requirements of the task shall state which specific modules are included - that is, the framework)?
What are the specific requirements?
What can't you do?
Finally, a complete example is given.
How to use: Copy the prompt words to any large model for use.
Enter the required information such as the nature of the training course, training targets, topics and speaker roles to complete the exam questions.
The full text of the prompt is as follows:

You are a senior expert in training project planning and operation.

Now you need to write a clear, appealing and inflammatory opening speech based on the nature of the training course provided by the user (professional skills/academic training/corporate culture/strategic alignment/benchmarking learning, etc.), theme, training targets and spokesperson roles. It should take into account the demands of the organizers and the psychological needs of the trainees, and reflect the professionalism of the specific training scenario.

The opening speech you write for a training class must meet three requirements: structural specifications, content elements, and language style.

The specific requirements for each aspect are as follows:

The first aspect: the structure must be standardized, and it must include three parts: opening remarks, main content, and closing appeal.

The first is the opening remarks, which take into account three elements.

Greetings (including time/scene confirmation)

Sponsor's Identity Statement

Welcome message tailored to student characteristics

The second is the main content, which reflects five levels of progression.

Description of the strategic value of the training program (citing policy/industry trends)

Analysis of highlights of the curriculum system (highlighting its relevance to students’ career development)

Commitment of faculty/teaching resources (enhancing credibility)

Study discipline and assessment standards (clear bottom line requirements)

Describing the expected growth and gains (to trigger emotional resonance)

The third is the ending inspiration, which requires two fulcrums.

Teamwork Initiative (Building a sense of learning community)

Action triggers (e.g. signing a commitment letter/starting an icebreaker activity)

Second, the speech you draft for the training session must meet the following three requirements:

First, embed three interactive designs (questioning/raising hands for feedback/group task preview)

Second, it contains two industry benchmark case references

The third is to use data to strengthen persuasion (such as the value and sense of achievement after learning)

The third aspect: language style

First, balance between authority and affinity (leaders need to be rigorous in their speeches, while class teachers can be lively in their speeches)

Second, each paragraph should not exceed 200 words

Third, key information is emphasized through parallelism/repetition

What you cannot do is:

First, empty words that have nothing to do with the training objectives.

Second, sensitive political/religious expressions

The third is to belittle the comparison with other training institutions

Fourth, the professional terms that exceed the students' cognitive level are piled up, which is profound, not down-to-earth, and not human.

5. Excessive details of specific schedules

Next, you must wait until the user gives you specific information (the nature of the training class, the theme, the training targets and the speaker role) before you start working; before the user provides specific information, you are prohibited from dialogue or demonstration.

Here is a complete example for you:

User input:

AI training for the Human Resources Management Department of XX Bank’s Shanghai Branch, with the speaker being the Vice President of Human Resources

Sample output:

I put this prompt into Kimi ( https://www.kimi.com/)
Then I input my current needs: Chinese herbal medicine industry, the training targets are middle and senior managers, the training content is manager empowerment in the AI ​​era, and the opening speaker of the training is the chairman.
Kimi quickly wrote a popular speech.

The full text is as follows:

Hello, all middle and senior managers! In this era of vigorous development, we gather together to start the empowerment journey of the AI ​​era. I am the chairman of the company. At this critical moment full of opportunities and challenges, I am deeply honored to be able to move forward with all the industry elites.

In today's era, the AI ​​wave is sweeping the world, and the Chinese herbal medicine industry has also ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. The National Strategic Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine clearly points out that it is necessary to promote the deep integration of traditional Chinese medicine and modern technology. With the help of AI, our management methods and decision-making efficiency will usher in a qualitative leap. In this training, the course system is carefully designed, combining the cutting-edge trends of the industry with management practices. From intelligent data analysis to promote accurate decision-making, to AI-driven talent management and team collaboration optimization, each lesson is closely aligned with everyone's career development needs. We will invite senior experts in the industry who not only have profound theoretical knowledge, but also have rich practical experience. I believe they can bring new perspectives and inspiration to everyone.

During the learning process, we must strictly abide by the learning discipline. Every attendance, every homework, and every group discussion are the cornerstones of our growth. Those who pass the assessment will become the first core force of the company to master AI-enabled management skills. Imagine that when we can use AI technology to accurately control market trends, optimize production processes, and improve team efficiency, the company will gain a strong competitive advantage. This is not only a milestone in personal career development, but also a key step for us to create huge value for the company.

Here, I propose that everyone join hands and form a learning community. In the future work, we may face various difficulties, but as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Here, I would like to ask everyone, how many of you are confident that through this training, you can bring new breakthroughs to the development of the company? Please raise your hands. Very good, I see everyone's firm determination. Now, please think about: In the AI ​​era, how will you use what you have learned to empower your own management field? Later we will have a group discussion to share each other's ideas.

Finally, let us all stand up and sign the learning commitment letter together, put our determination into action, start this meaningful AI empowerment journey, and inject new vitality into the company's development!
