How We Teach
We keep it practical and human. Our cadence is:
Explain simply → Analogy → Example → Do it together.
Explain simply
- •What AI is / isn't in two sentences (no buzzwords).
- •What a prompt is (your instructions to the tool).
- •Three safety habits we use all session: protect private info, verify facts, keep a human in the loop.
Analogy
🔧 Power tool:
AI = a cordless drill. The prompt is the bit (choose the right one), and privacy checks are your goggles (wear them every time).
🗺️ Maps app:
You pick the destination; AI suggests routes. You still confirm each turn.
Concrete example
We show a before/after you'll actually use at work, then narrate the exact steps.
- •Inbox: messy customer email → clear, kind reply with next steps.
- •Meetings: agenda + raw notes → summary, decisions, and action items.
- •Website/Listing: rough description → polished, scannable copy with bullets.
Do it together
You build your own workflow with a guided worksheet:
- 1.Goal (what good looks like)
- 2.Context (who/where/why)
- 3.Constraints (tone, length, must-include, can't-say)
- 4.Format (email, checklist, steps, table)
- 5.Run & review (fix accuracy, adjust tone)
- 6.Save template (so you can repeat tomorrow)
You'll leave with
One working workflow you can run immediately
A saved prompt template matched to your tools (Google/Microsoft)
A one-page cheat sheet (definitions, safety checks, shortcuts)
What we don't do
- 🚫No jargon or hand-wavy theory
- 🚫No automation rabbit holes
- 🚫No software sales pitch
