Capability building
I don't train people on tools. I build their capability to use AI as themselves.
Most AI training is a tour of apps you'll never open again. Mine does something different. I teach people to use AI in a way that's actually theirs, shaped by their own experience, their worldview, their values, and the work right in front of them.
The tool is the easy part. The capability worth building is knowing how to make it serve you, your business, and the people you look after. And I start where the room actually is. Every session is led by what the people in it need, not a curriculum I've turned up to deliver.
Capability, not dependence.
One to one
AI Coaching and Mentoring
Three months, one to one, for someone who wants to upskill and needs support while they do it.
Most AI training hands you someone else's prompts and a folder of tools you never open again. This is the other thing. We work on your real problems, in your real business, and you do the doing. I am beside you while you learn how to think about it, not while I do it for you.
Three months is the minimum because capability doesn't happen in an afternoon. We meet fortnightly, so there's a proper gap in between for you to use what we worked on and come back with what broke. Between sessions you can ask me things.
It suits an owner who wants this for themselves. It also suits a business that has picked someone internally to carry it. Either way the capability stays where it belongs, which is with you.
Online by default. Local to Whangārei or Te Tai Tokerau, we can do it in person at your place, because sitting beside you at your actual computer, in your actual systems, is the fastest way to build something real.
Priced on what you actually need. Tell me on a call and I'll tell you what it costs.

If you want someone to come in and do it for you, that's a build, and I do those too.
And if the honest answer is that you shouldn't be doing this yet, I'll say so. Not adopting is a real outcome, and you'll get it from me for free in half an hour rather than three months in.
Workshops
I run workshops as well. If you want one for your team or your group, get in touch and we'll shape it around what you need.

Why it sticks
Plenty of people can show you a tool. Far fewer can design a learning experience that holds once they've left the room.
I've spent fourteen years designing how people learn and change, not just what tools exist. Instructional design, adult learning, eLearning, a microlearning rollout that reached over 80 percent engagement with frontline teams.
That's the part I bring, and it's why the capability stays after the session ends.

The Northland kaupapa
This is the one I care about most.
I want AI literacy built right across Te Tai Tokerau, in the hands of the owners, operators and communities who'd usually be last to get it, not first. This technology shouldn't only belong to people in the big centres with the budgets to match. Building that capability close to home is some of the work I'm proudest to do.
