The pressure is real, Paul. I love that this didn’t just hype up AI, but also acknowledged how overwhelming it can feel, especially for folks mid-career or trying to pivot. It’s one thing to say ‘learn AI,’ it’s another to be handed no training or support. Happy Thursday to you.
Companies are abdicating their responsibility to employees by not trainging them on AI's use relative to their role. I hope to find a way to disrupt that by advocating for training.
It seems the answer is for organizations to take the proverbial bull by the horn and secure training on their own. Many companies and consultants offer courses, some of which are reasonably cost-effective and quality.
I'm thinking of offering something similar, but it may make more sense to become a coach and use an establish course.
Bette has pivoted, and that’s a smart move. You can do both. The idea is to connect with business owners one-on-one to educate them and encourage AI literacy within their organizations. But I’m not sure people pay much attention to courses these days, hands-on training tends to be more effective. Maybe a course could work as a complement to tie everything together.
It's becoming increasingly apparent that part of the answer to AI technostress is training. As such, I see adding that is a viable service offering to organizations. So, it's a next step.

I am trying - the new thing is they want to hire new employees already trained. No such thing exists. I told them good luck. A bunch of noobs Paul lol
Happy Friday!

It's plenty of work, too. At least you have a roadmap now, and the need is there. It's mostly a mindset hurdle to overcome.
Love how this reframes AI fluency — not as technical mastery as it is about judgment and knowing where automation fits (and doesn’t). 100% agree!
Thanks, Karen.
Great advice!
Thanks!
