💡 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.

🔍 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!

⚖️ “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...
