Before you waste another hour on ChatGPT…


🎓 “AI might take some jobs, but if you don’t learn AI, how are you going to be competitive?" - Michael Park

Hello Reader,

What I hear from people, when they want to improve their AI skills, is that they don't know where to start.

Because there's so many different tools, that can do so many different things, it's overwhelming.

So they just pick one tool to learn how to do a thing or two, but they don't have a structured learning plan to grow.

I think people are probably worried about falling further behind, because things are moving so fast, and they don't want to look ignorant by doing it badly.

So what I do is I provide practical hands-on experience in using ChatGPT and Gemini and Copilot and a variety of different AI tools.

Because there's a big difference between reading about how to drive a car, and actually getting behind the wheel to learn to drive.

That hands-on experience is critical to embedding the knowledge, because you learn by doing.

My workshops are highly interactive. I provide clear frameworks for building AI literacy, using templates and workflows and copy-paste prompts to follow.

I give everybody the same survey at the beginning and the end of my training series, and we've measured:

📈 +45% in Confidence in using AI tools for daily tasks
🛠️ +56% in ability to craft effective AI Prompts
+65% in efficiency improvement on productivity
🎯 +75% in AI’s impact on strategic decision-making
🎨 +67% in AI’s role in work requiring creativity

This gives people confidence in using AI tools for daily tasks. People find themselves more creative, with new ideas and fresh approaches constantly coming from their AI thinking partner, and they ultimately develop credibility, and are perceived as future-focused by their peers.

💡 Start with the Foundations of AI

During this interactive, 3.5-hour workshop, you will:

  • Learn how to pivot your skills to stay relevant in an AI-first economy.
  • Explore strategies to lead through change and redefine human value at work.
  • Apply the PILLARS framework for precise prompting to turn vague requests into actionable instructions.
  • Coach AI to improve with clear feedback and follow-up, and get coached by AI in return.

You can join the Foundations of AI workshop online via Zoom or live in Christchurch, multiple dates available.

If you'd like to take the entire F.A.S.T. Class in person or on Zoom I have public workshops available, and I am available for private workshops at your venue when I have availability.
