🧠 FAQ: Everything You’ve Wanted to Ask About Learning AI (But Didn’t Want to Google)


📊 Practical, hands-on experience in using AI tools is the biggest predictor of success.

Hello Reader,

Let’s be real:

Everyone’s talking about AI, but most professionals are still experimenting blindly.

If you’ve been wondering whether an AI workshop is worth your time — this one’s for you.

Here are the most common questions I have been getting about the AI F.A.S.T. Class Series — and straight answers from someone who’s seen hundreds of professionals go from “AI-curious” to AI-confident.


❓ What is the AI FAST Class Series?

It’s a four-part, hands-on training pathway that helps you turn automation into alignment.

You’ll go from learning how to write effective prompts to building full workflows and using AI as a thinking partner.

FAST = Foundations, Applications, Scaling, Thinking.

Each session builds on the last:

  • ✏️ Foundations – learn how to prompt like a pro.
  • 🧩 Applications – design your first AI workflows.
  • ⚙️ Scaling – automate what matters.
  • 🧠 Thinking – turn insight into advantage.

❓ Is this technical? Do I need coding skills?

Nope. Zero code. This is built for knowledge workers, not developers.

If you can write an email, you can write a prompt. You’ll practice directly inside tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and NotebookLM — using your own laptop.


❓ What makes this different from all the other AI webinars online?

Three things: hands-on, interactive, human-first.

Most AI training tells you what AI can do. I show you how to actually use it — guided exercises, frameworks, and prompts you can take with you and reuse.

I focus on making AI your first instinct, not your last resort.


❓ What will I walk away with?

  • A repeatable framework for writing powerful prompts
  • Templates and workflows you can copy into your own business
  • Confidence to use AI as a teammate, not a threat
  • A few “holy-wow” moments when you see what’s possible

❓ Who is it for?

Professionals who:

  • Feel like they’re falling behind in AI adoption
  • Want to work smarter, not harder
  • Need a structured way to integrate AI safely into daily work

I've trained marketers, project managers, accountants, engineers, HR teams, and board members — empowering all of them to leave with a system that fits their real work.


❓ Do I need to attend all 4 workshops?

  • No, you can attend any workshop individually. They do build on one another, so a sequential progression is recommended, but not required.

❓ How much does it cost?

Each half-day workshop is $350 + GST per person. You can join all four for $1,400 + GST, and you’ll graduate with a digital badge, a credential recognised by LinkedIn and the Open Badges Protocol.

(I also run in-house sessions for teams — contact me about group rates.)


❓ Where and when?

📍 Christchurch, NZ – 146a Lichfield St, The Loft Coworking

🕐 Full series every Wednesday in November 1-4:30pm
💻 Also available on Zoom
Next intake dates are listed at

❓ What if I’m still not sure?

Register for just the first session — Foundations of AI — and see for yourself.

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.

⚖️ “With a leveraged worker, judgment is far more important than how much time they put in or how hard they work.” - Naval Hello Reader, AI is better at evaluating content than generating content.This makes sense, when you stop to think about it. For a large language model to interpret your instructions, and create output, all in the same step, it dilutes the same token budget over two requests.But if you have ask AI to evaluate its own outputs, it can focus all its attention on identifying...

Create a Coaching Relationship with AI

🌱 "A coach is just a placebo – it's a commitment to make yourself a better person." Barrett Brooks Hello Reader, Most people treat AI like a search engine.

In my next interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to train AI to think better, iterate on its responses, and refine its output—just like a great coach helps an athlete or...
