AI for Busy Professionals: No Experience, No Coding, Just Efficiency

Clair Sullivan

Your Guide to the AI Revolution

AI is replacing jobs that don't adapt. Learn it now with zero coding required.

You know generative AI (GenAI) is transforming the workplace, but every time you try it, you hit a wall. The tools feel confusing. You're not sure what to do with it. You worry about looking incompetent while colleagues seem to have it figured out. So you stick to old methods feeling further behind on the curve.

Maybe you've tried ChatGPT once or twice, but got generic or unhelpful results. You gave up, assuming GenAI just isn't for people like you. Meanwhile, you spend evenings catching up on work that could take minutes with the right skills. The gap between you and GenAI-savvy colleagues grows wider every week, and the fear of being left behind becomes more real.

This is a completely hands-on course in a judgment-free environment. You'll spend most of the day actually using GenAI tools with real workplace scenarios, not watching demonstrations. Every exercise is designed for beginners with zero technical background. You'll work through examples from your actual job, getting immediate feedback and support. By the end, you'll have a GenAI playbook and prompt library you can use tomorrow. No lectures. No jargon. Just practice, confidence, and results.

What you’ll learn

Go from AI overwhelmed to AI confident and transform hours of work into minutes in just one day.

  • Explore platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini so you can choose the right tool.

  • Draft emails, reports, and memos in minutes so you can reclaim hours weekly. You'll leave with tested prompts for your role.

  • Analyze PDFs and transcripts to find key info instantly. You'll leave with summaries and action items from your own documents.

  • Generate images and graphics using AI to enhance presentations.

  • Grasp AI that takes action for you and apply it to delegate complex work. You'll leave with working agentic examples for your job.
