Hello Reader,

If you want to learn AI F.A.S.T. then I have the class for you.

Participants in my workshops have demonstrated:

πŸ“ˆ +45% in Confidence in using AI tools for daily tasks
πŸ› οΈ +56% in ability to craft effective AI Prompts
β€βš‘ +65% in efficiency improvement on productivity
🎯 +75% in AI’s impact on strategic decision-making
β€πŸŽ¨ +67% in AI’s role in work requiring creativity

β€œThis was probably the best workshop that I have attended, and multiple people said the same thing. The shift in confidence and engagement across the team is exactly what we were hoping for.”
​
β€”Matt Harris, McCulloch + Partners

πŸ’‘ 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.

πŸ€– OpenAI's Dev Day

πŸ” Good thing I waited

I was preparing to launch a new workshop series this month, focused on building AI Agents. I wanted a simple drag-and-drop builder that non-coders could use, and I was comparing Lindy, Make, and Zapier when I decided to put the whole thing on pause and launch the AI F.A.S.T. Class instead.

Now I am playing with AgentKit by OpenAI, and I think this could be the tool I use for my new Agentic training workshops.

I'll launch them in the coming months, stay tuned to learn Agentic AI!
