Mastering AI: before and after

My approach 🧭

My approach to using and teaching AI is grounded in enjoyment and fun. There are no shoulds; it's all about exploration and play. I'll walk alongside you as we discover how AI fits into your life. Using AI, I've introspected into my values, gained clarity on career decisions, and optimised countless mind-numbing tasks. You'll resonate with some of these uses more strongly than others and my role is to help you discover how AI can best serve you in your work and life.

What I offer 🎁

• Free introductory session: A 60-minute call to explore how AI can enhance your life and work.
• 2-hour workshop for your organisation: I'll teach your team how you can leverage AI at work to get more done in less time, automating away as much of the boring stuff as possible

Common use cases 🔄🛠️

AI as an integration buddy

AI can be a powerful tool for integrating insights from coaching calls, courses, or retreats. You can use AI to revisit the information, insights, and breakthroughs whenever they're most relevant. If, for example, you explore your struggles with marketing and identify limiting beliefs during a coaching session, AI can help you easily access those insights later (e.g. when you sit down to write a landing page).

Learning with AI: Choose your own adventure

Imagine having a conversation with any piece of content, asking questions, seeking clarifications, and diving deeper into topics that interest you. Traditional learning often involves passive consumption of information, but AI allows for interactive engagement, serving as a personal tutor that provides clear explanations, answers questions, and helps you make connections between examples and concepts. It allows you to engage with content in a dynamic, personalised way, following your curiosity and deepening your understanding.

What I believe about AI 💭🤖

• AI is an emergent technology without an instruction manual. To unlock its full potential, we must approach it with a spirit of experimentation and play. By tinkering, testing, and exploring, we can discover new use cases and push the boundaries of what's possible with these incredible tools.
• AI's user-friendliness lags behind its potential. These tools, in their infancy, present a number of obstacles for those seeking to harness their power for everyday tasks. So expect hurdles, but know they're predictable and surmountable.
• AI has limitations. Understanding AI's inner workings, idiosyncrasies, and limitations allows you to better steer your AI collaborator towards desired outcomes.
• Working with AI is a skill to be honed. With practice and intentionality, you'll learn to guide it to generate relevant, informative, and useful outputs.
• AI's potential is unlocked through human guidance and effort. Simply feeding prompts into an AI system without careful thought will yield mediocre results at best. By learning key principles for effective human-AI interaction and consistently applying them, you can significantly elevate the quality and usefulness of the outputs you receive. Recognising that AI is a tool that amplifies human effort and intelligence is key; the more you put in, the more you'll get out.

Testimonials 💬

Ivan hosted an AI session at Tower Hamlet's Employability Forum Group, and it was incredibly informative and impactful. The forum, where employability providers gather to share experiences and insights, was the perfect setting for Ivan to deliver his presentation on AI and its relevance to employability.

Ivan's presentation not only provided key insights into how AI is transforming industries but also highlighted how these changes can create new opportunities for both job seekers and employability providers. He explained complex AI concepts in a way that was accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical background, which made the session highly engaging.

The session left us with a much clearer understanding of how AI can be integrated into employability strategies, enhancing our services and preparing job seekers for the future of work. Ivan's expertise was evident throughout the session, and his ability to connect AI to the world of employment made the presentation highly relevant and practical. We left feeling empowered to explore AI's potential in our own work.

I highly recommend Ivan for anyone looking to gain valuable insights into AI and its role in the future of employment.

My backstory 📖

I help run Founders and Coders, a coding bootcamp in London. In this role, I've been exploring the potential of large language models to enhance learning. Through a series of hands-on experiments, I've not only discovered ways to level up my own teaching skills but also uncovered strategies for empowering learners to take control and accelerate their learning journeys.

Before this, I ran a co-operative tech agency with a few friends from Founders and Coders. I learned that running your own business means juggling countless tasks, and automating as many as possible can be a lifesaver. This lesson carries over into my approach to AI, where I focus on using these tools to eliminate repetitive, time-consuming tasks.

Running a tech co-op also taught me the importance of rapidly acquiring new skills. Working as a developer often means picking up new technologies on the fly. This experience instilled the value of being a quick learner, a meta-skill that's been invaluable in my career. By diving into AI, I've not only learned about the technology itself but also honed my ability to rapidly acquire new skills and knowledge. This is my favourite use of AI and something I'd love to share widely.
